Evaluation of the Organization Structure of Large Construction Companies Based on the Entropy Theory

Abstract:

The significance of organization management to companies was analyzed and the relationship between a enterprise’s organization structure and its information transfer effect was discussed. Then the differences of organization structures between construction companies at home and abroad were compared. The information entropy model was used to evaluate the structure from two aspects as efficiency and effectiveness of information transmission. And based on this model, Kajima Construction Group and China Railway Construction Corporation were evaluated, and the result shows that China Railway Construction Corporation fall behind in both areas of information transmission.
