“…The notion "manageability" is used in wide range of domains such as construction [2], software engineering [3], manufacturing [4], computing networks [5], transportation [6], production [7]. There are several key elements of the manageability that are essential to effectively managing an organization and these include: clear goals and objectives, effective communication, strong leadership, efficient use of resources, effective decision-making, continuous improvement, performance measurement, adapting to change, empowering employees.…”

Organizational manageability is a crucial aspect of business management, requiring a combination of forecasting, planning, organizing, implementing, controlling and decision-making. Topological modular forms study the properties of objects that are invariant under certain types of transformations and the authors search for and identify a set of key factors that are essential to the organizational manageability (both stable and unstable) and create a framework that captures these factors. Organizational manageability is highly complex and multifaceted field that requires the integration of mentioned elements. In order to simplify incommensurable complexity, authors offer the hypothesis that differentiating the approach to manageability in the two distinct situations "steady and familiar condition" and "unsteady and with considerable uncertainty condition" is effective. Discrimination between those two situations is essential for business success and requires a deep understanding of market trends, customer needs, design of organization and usage of resources. By mastering the principles of organizational manageability based on mentioned classification of situations, businesses can improve their performance, increase their competitiveness and achieve their goals more effectively.

“…Organizations with a high level of complexity also have higher levels of underperformance. Beyer and Ullrich (2022) found that performance was directly improved when measures were implemented to lessen organizational complexity. Zhou and Rosini (2015) analyzed the effects of diversity within teams and found that demographic, personality, and informational diversity positively impact team performance.…”

Organizational transformation refers to the actions where a company or business changes a major component of its organization, which in turn influences organizational performance. In the literature, there is an abundance of study on underperforming teams in organizational transformation. However, little is known on the parameters of an organizational transformation processes in those teams. In an earlier study, we divided teams performance-wise into Green (best), Amber (caution), and Red (worst) teams to signify different scale ratings. Herein, we compare what transformational parameters the red teams differed from the amber and green teams. We analyzed 3,133 teams in 454 different transformations. Our research findings show that the red team members seemed much less aware and informed about the transformation having unrealistic ambitions about improving their situation. After a management target had been set, the Red teams had (expectedly) more items to work on than Green and Amber. However, this extra work was focused on a much smaller group of team members. Finally, this study may help to focus management attention in an organizational transformation further.
