Defects in Modern Organizations: Field Findings and Discovery

Sergey Ivanov

Abstract— This paper brings forth my serendipitous discovery of the relationship between defects and compressed organizational structures. In this paper, I define what a compressed organizational DNA structure is, and discuss organizational studies I have carried out since 2000, with a particular focus on the studies in 2007-2009, 2010, and 2011-2012 in the U.S. Federal Government, a privately-owned manufacturing company, and a large multinational corporation. I identify defects-creating structures in the organizations, and suggest a general framework for detecting organizational systems prone to produce defective products and services.

Index Terms— Organizational structure, defects, early detection of defects, corporate DNA, organizational DNA, compressed organizations, general theory of managerial hierarchy, requisite organization theory.
