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
