The organizational configurations framework of Mintzberg is a model that describes six valid organizational configurations (originally only five; the sixth one was added later): [8] Simple structure, characteristic of entrepreneurial organization; Machine bureaucracy; Professional bureaucracy; Diversified form; Adhocracy, or innovative organization
For Henry Mintzberg, an adhocracy is a complex and dynamic organizational form. [6] It is different from bureaucracy; like Toffler, Mintzberg considers bureaucracy a thing of the past, and adhocracy one of the future. [7] When done well, adhocracy can be very good at problem solving and innovation [7] and thrive in diverse environments. [6]

Handy in particular records how in his early career as an executive he was forced to rely on his formal academic training in Roman and Greek Classics as grounding for his management training.
