Abstract
Organizational structure is one of the most important factors in determining its performance. Our interest is what kind of structures is efficient, and what conditions are required for an efficient structure? In our previous papers, we proposed a mathematical model for evaluating the hierarchical organization quantitatively and used it to investigate this problem. As a result of that research, we proved that the shape of the hierarchical organization that maximizes the evaluation value of organization, can be classified into three types depending on the capacity value of the members when number of the evaluation criteria is only one. The purpose of this paper is to extend previously obtained results to an improved mathematical model.
