Propositional validity: Mintzberg makes
propositions regarding internal fit, external fit and
the way one can achieve that with the use of the
contingency factors and Parameters for designing
an organization. Consequently, this type of validity
has a sufficient level.
Visual validity: Mintzberg uses tables and figures
(mainly to illustrate the configurations). However,
it is not exuberant. Therefore, the visual validity
could have been better.
Narrative validity: Mintzberg uses examples to
explain his configurations. For example, the
machine bureaucracy is used by mass production
organizations in a stable environment. This is
sufficient to understand the concepts, but ‘real’
cases, examples and stories of are lacking.
Therefore, the narrative validity is mediocre.
