Neoclassical organization theory is different from classical organization theory.

1, advocates more decentralization on the issue of centralization and decentralization. Because decentralization can let more people participate in decision-making, which is conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of employees. The idea of "centralized policy and decentralized management" put forward by Alfred P. Sloan, president of American General Motors Company, is the embodiment of this idea.

2. From the organizational form, we don't advocate the towering organizational structure, but prefer the flat organizational structure. According to the viewpoint of neoclassical theory, the traditional departmental organizational model can be divided into pointed triangle structure (that is, towering organizational structure) and flat triangle structure (that is, flat organizational structure). The former is centralized and has a small control range, while the latter is more likely to implement decentralization, graded responsibility and specialization.

3. Promote departmentalization. Classical organization theory advocates the division of labor and specialization of individuals; The essence of departmentalization advocated by neoclassical theory is departmental specialization. Universities and hospitals are departmental organizations.
