Modern trends operating from the environment require a different shaping of the organizational structure of the company. Accordingly, instead of traditional forms, more flexible organizational structures appear that are based on the characteristics of organic design. The emphasis is primarily on accepting change, decentralization of decision-making, a wider range of control, teamwork, adequate organizational culture, good interpersonal relationships, continuous learning and innovation development. Technological progress, scientific achievements, and thus the even greater need for continuous learning and acquiring new knowledge, as important characteristics of the modern business environment, have had the greatest impact on shaping the organizational structure of the company. The fact that information technology and knowledge are the basis of new organizational forms speaks in favor of that. Globalization has also played a role in creating the conditions for changing the organizational structure of companies, as well as the time of the COVID 19 pandemic. Organisations have been forced to do business differently and business processes have had to change rapidly in order for organisations to survive. The aim of this work is to indicate the fundamental trends that operate from the business environment and condition the need for the application of more flexible organizational forms. In addition, the aim of the paper is to point out the characteristics of organizational models that have emerged under the influence of these trends.
