  This paper introduces a fuzzy-based model for analysis of organizational structure. This model has threestages. In the first stage, it applies a fuzzy system to obtain the desired structural dimensions (system’soutputs) based on the contextual dimensions (system’s inputs). According to management literature the mostsignificant structural dimensions consist of formalization, centralization and complexity and the majorcontextual dimensions are strategy, technology, environmental uncertainty and size of organization. In thisstage, the model estimates the present structural dimensions too. In the second stage, the model presents afuzzy system to determine the mechanistic and organic aspects of organizational structure (theoreticalstructure), which is estimated for both of the desired and present status. In this stage the system’s inputs arecomputed structural dimensions in first stage and its out put is theoretical structure. Finally after testing themodel, a method is presented to analyze the gap existing between the desired and present structure in thethird stage Manuscript profile

  In this paper a fuzzy-based approach for selecting a suitable organizational structure is introduced. The model is developed according to contingency approach. To do so, five stages are considered. In the first stage, a fuzzy system whose inputs are contextual dimensions is presented. These dimensions are technology, strategy, Environmental uncertainty, and Organization size. This system's outputs are the types of organizational structure. In the second stage, inputs and outputs are fuzzified. To do so, the triangular function is applied. Inference rules (inference engine) are developed in the third stage. The fourth stage is defuzzification stage.  In the fifth stage the model is tested. Manuscript profile
