Strategy and Structural Change: The Lessons from the Department of Homeland Security

DEMiRCiOĞLU, Mehmet Akif

Organizational change is one of the enduring issues in the study of public administration. There are four types of organizational change: Products and services, strategy and structure, culture, and technology. Strategy and structure changes are related to the administrative field in an existing or new organization. Changing in organization structure, policies, mission, and vision as well as re-organizing, restructuring, downsizing, and privatization can be considered as changes. The creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the United States is an example of this change.
