How should the amoeba business unit be divided into organizations?

1) Realize the enterprise development strategy.

The main purpose of the implementation of the amoeba business model is to complete the business objectives of the enterprise and realize the rapid development of the enterprise. Therefore, the fundamental principle of amoeba organization division is to be conducive to the implementation of the enterprise development strategy and the realization of the strategic goals of the enterprise. If the division of the amoeba organization leads to the chaos of the management and operation of the enterprise, or the "open and secret fighting" of various amoeba organizations, resulting in the enterprise being reduced to a plate of scattered sand and it is difficult to complete the strategic goals, then it is necessary to adjust the division ideas and methods of the amoeba organization.

2) Maximize the division of business units.

The "amoeba management" model created by Kazuo Inamori is to maximize the size of the business units, measure the "per capita hourly income" of each business unit, and strive to pursue the management effect of "maximizing sales and minimizing costs".

Of course, the principle of maximum size does not mean that the smaller the amoeba organization, the better, but on the basis of being able to independently account for and complete the business independently, and to ensure that the amoeba organization achieves the maximum economic benefits at the lowest cost.

3) The divided amoeba can be accounted for independently.

The divided amoeba can become an independent accounting organization, and it needs to have a clear income and be able to calculate the expenses required to obtain it.

The independent accounting tool used in amoeba management is management accounting. The key to amoeba management is not how perfect the enterprise management system is, but whether the various management and assessment indicators are easy to understand, so that amoeba members can grasp the business data at any time.

4) The divided amoeba is able to complete the business independently.

The divided amoeba organization must be able to complete the business independently, that is, the divided amoeba must independently have relatively clear "internal business" and "internal customers", and the amoeba organization conducts business activities through products, customers or regions, and conducts independent operation and settlement.

5) Fully consider the responsibilities, rights and interests of each amoeba organization.

In the process of dividing amoeba organizations, it is necessary to fully consider the responsibilities, rights and interests of each amoeba organization, and to be able to clearly define rights and obligations and reasonably distribute benefits. Only in this way can we ensure the smooth operation of the amoeba business model in the enterprise.

Amoeba management principle: it is divided into three parts: business philosophy, organizational division and business accounting.

In the traditional functional enterprise management model, once the hierarchical enterprise organizational structure is determined, it will remain unchanged for a long time, and the organizational structure model is stable and rigid. The flaws of this organizational structure are increasingly exposed: senior leaders are caught up in daily production and business activities, the administrative organization is getting bigger and bigger, the horizontal links between various departments are weak, the coordination of various departments is becoming more and more difficult, and the members of each function focus on the departmental goals rather than the overall goals of the enterprise, which affects the work efficiency.

The amoeba organizational structure requires employees to break the original departmental boundaries, bypass the original intermediate management level, directly face customers and be responsible for the overall goals of the company, and win market dominance with the advantages of group and collaboration. So as to achieve the purpose of making the amoeba organization flexible, agile, flexible and creative. Compared with the usual administrative organizational structure, amoeba organizations are generally small in size and flexible, so there is no need to worry about the nerves and bones of the order that changes overnight.

The division of amoeba organization needs to follow the principle of "being able to independently complete a process and create market value", that is, it can do: "serve the enterprise strategy, maximize the small, independent accounting, independently complete the business, and the consistency of responsibilities and rights", and divide the enterprise as a whole into amoeba organizations that can operate independently, account independently, and be responsible for their own profits and losses.

Amoeba organizations are structured around workflows rather than departmental functions. Because the organizational structure is subdivided, the most basic amoeba organization is also able to maximize the energy of the company as a whole. After all employees of the enterprise are divided into organizations, due to the refinement of responsibilities, they will develop a sense of running their own enterprises and work more actively, so as to transmit a steady stream of positive energy in the company.

It is necessary to accurately grasp the actual situation of the business and divide it based on it. To do this, three conditions must be met.

Condition 1: In order for the divided amoeba to become an independent accounting organization, which requires "having a clear income and being able to calculate the expenses required to obtain it". In order to adopt an independent accounting system, it is necessary to be able to calculate income and expenditure, and for this purpose it is necessary to have an accurate picture of the income and expenditure of an independent organization.

Condition 2: "The amoeba of the smallest unit organization must be the unit that completes the business independently".。Because Amoeba was established as an independent business, its leaders have the potential to delve into innovation and generate value in their work.

Therefore, amoeba must be an independent unit that completes business. Kyocera's production department was the first to be divided into amoeba divisions in the raw materials department, which is the earliest process in the production process and plays the role of raw material blending. When I was preparing to separate the raw material process as an amoeba, I was worried about whether the organizational structure would be too detailed from the condition that "the business is done independently".

Condition 3: "Be able to implement the goals and policies of the company as a whole".。Even if it is able to clearly calculate its income and expenditure status and is able to perform business independently, if it hinders the implementation of the company's policy, it cannot be separated into an amoeba, because if the organization is subdivided into amoeba, the internal coordination mechanism of the company is fragmented, and the company's mission cannot be accomplished.

Amoeba division is too fine, it may cause too high coordination costs, damage the integrity of the enterprise, too coarse will not be able to receive the actual effect of amoeba, the division of amoeba should follow the following three principles:

1) The divided amoeba must be able to account independently. The size of amoebas varies from three or five people to hundreds or thousands. However, regardless of the size, it is necessary to "have a clear income and be able to calculate the expenses required to obtain it".

2) The divided amoeba must be able to complete the business independently. For example, in the production of ceramics, the first process is to mix raw materials, which is a process by purchasing raw materials from outside and then selling them to the molding process. Since the leader of the procurement process has certain purchasing rights, he has the right to change the ratio of various raw materials and improve the utilization rate of raw materials by studying the business.

In view of the above, Kazuo Inamori decided to divide it into independent amoeba.

3) The divided amoeba must be able to implement the company's overall goals and policies. Even if a unit can clearly calculate its income and expenditure and complete independent business, if it hinders the implementation of the company's policy, it cannot be independent into an amoeba, otherwise the company's internal coordination mechanism will be fragmented and unable to complete the company's mission. For example, if only the two prerequisites of independent accounting and independent business completion are considered, then the sales department can be divided into amoeba such as order receiving, delivery, and payment collection.

However, this may help the company's internal management, but it will cause the amoeba to fight each other on the issue of customer service, which is not conducive to the implementation of the company's overall goals and policies, so from the perspective of ensuring the quality of customer service, the sales department can not be divided into several amoeba.

When enterprises introduce the amoeba business model, when they divide the amoeba organization, they often fall into the confusion that the amoeba organization is only divided according to the administrative structure.

According to Huadian Wisdom's many years of guidance on the operation of amoeba projects, amoeba organizations can be divided into four dimensions: product, region, customer and value chain. The four dimensions according to the amoeba organization are helpful for entrepreneurs to solve the confusion of only dividing according to the administrative structure.

One of the dimensions of division: the product is divided into amoeba organizations according to products, which is mainly based on the products produced by the enterprise, and the activities related to the production of a certain product are completely placed in the same product amoeba organization, and then the functional departments are subdivided within the amoeba to carry out the activities of producing the product.

Dimension 2: RegionalFor geographically dispersed enterprises, dividing amoeba organizations by region is a relatively common method. The principle is to centralize the business work in a certain region or region, form a regional amoeba, and appoint a manager to manage it.

Dimension 3: Amoeba organization divided by customer is usually related to the sales department and sales work. In these customer-oriented amoeba organizations, the amoeba leader is generally responsible for contacting the main customers.

The fourth dimension of the division is to identify the basic operational defects of the amoeba organization, firstly, to identify all the activities related to value creation in the production and operation of the amoeba organization; secondly, to classify and integrate them according to their functions and importances in order to establish the entire value chain of the amoeba organization; Finally, the various activities related to value creation of the amoeba organization are classified and summarized according to the degree of internal and external functions, processes and importance, so as to form the internal value chain of the amoeba organization.

Hello Brother Amiba business model refers to the division of the business process of the enterprise according to the amoeba organizational structure, and each amoeba group is regarded as an independent business unit. The advantage of this business model is that it increases the flexibility and efficiency of the business and gives employees greater autonomy and responsibility. When dividing the amoeba organizational structure, it can be divided from the smallest unit of the company, that is, the team or department.

However, in practice, there are many factors that need to be considered, such as the company's business scope, the size of the organization, the skill level of the employees, etc. In general, a smaller team or department may be better suited to an amoeba business model, while a larger team or department requires more planning and organization.

Kazuo Inamori, the founder of the amoeba model, once said: The division of amoeba organization is the beginning and end of amoeba management. In one sentence, it points out the key to the introduction of amoeba business model - organizational division.

If the enterprise can design the scientific and accurate link of the organization division when introducing the amoeba model, then this means the beginning of the introduction of the amoeba model; However, if there is a problem with the amoeba organization, then for the company, the amoeba business model will end in failure.

To correctly classify amoebic tissues, we must first recognize the purpose of amoebic organization division. The purpose of amoeba organization division includes four aspects: to see the actual situation of the enterprise; Internally transmit market pressure to achieve internal competition; Achieve full participation in the operation; Rapid and large number of management personnel.

The division process must also meet the three prerequisites for division: 1. Be able to operate and account independently, that is, each smallest unit has its own revenue; 2. It is a unit that can complete business independently; 3. Divide into units that can implement the company's goals and policies.

Let's talk about these three conditions in detail in the division process:

The subdivided amoeba needs to have a clear income and be able to accurately measure it**, and be able to accurately calculate the cost of obtaining it. That is, to accurately grasp the income and expenditure status of amoeba, but the data in the amoeba model is often very complicated, and it is often difficult to present the income and expenditure status in a timely and accurate manner only by manual data analysis, so some professional amoeba landing software is needed to realize the digitization and visualization of amoeba operation.

The subdivided amoeba must exist as an independent business, is a unit with minimal functions, and has room for research and creation in the process of operation.

Organizational segmentation must not hinder the implementation of the company's goals and policies. If the organization is subdivided into amoeba, the coordination mechanism within the company is divided and fragmented, which increases the difficulty of collaboration, then the company's mission cannot be accomplished, and the meaning of amoeba management is lost.

Only by following the above three basic conditions can enterprises truly divide small accounting units through the amoeba model and complete the first step of amoeba business introduction! Lay a good organizational foundation, and then introduce information technology to gradually realize digital and transparent operation. Finally, through the smooth communication between the top down and the bottom up within the enterprise, the sense of responsibility and cohesion of employees to the enterprise is enhanced; Through effective authorization, employees can truly participate in the operation!

Divide the five dimensions of the amoebic unit:

By product; Divided by customer situation; by region; By brand; Divided according to existing administrative functions. For example, Procter & Gamble is divided by product category; McDonald's Corporation is established by region; Some banks divide by type of customer. The five dimensions divided according to the amoeba organization are conducive to entrepreneurs to solve the confusion of only dividing according to the administrative structure.
