What typically happens when differentiation goes wrong in an organization?

A new CEO takes over a struggling manufacturing company and immediately implements a strict chain of command, clearly defined job roles, and standardized procedures to improve efficiency.

Some departments also struggle to adapt to unexpected market changes because decision-making follows rigid approval processes. What does this scenario best illustrate about the strengths and weaknesses of the structural frame?

In a divisionalized form, the central headquarters is typically responsible for overall strategic direction and resource allocation, whereas each individual division has its own structure and manages its internal operations independently.

In organizations operating within the political frame, power struggles emerge primarily due to misunderstandings rather than deeper organizational dynamics such as conflicts and scarce resources.
