Selection of Organizational Structure of the Company in the Period of Digital Transformation Using the SCARF Model

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of selecting the organizational structure of the company during its implementation of digital transformation of business processes. The hypothesis of the study was that consideration of the needs of decision-makers can and should influence the choice of organisational structure changes during the transition to digital transformation of business processes. The decision makers for managing the integration of digital technologies into key aspects of a company's business activities have been shown to be CIOs. Motivational filters that characterize the needs of CIOs according to the SCARF model were presented in a hierarchical combination along with the types of company strategies that can be implemented during the digital transformation of business processes. The SCARF model, the Saaty hierarchy analysis method and the mixed-methods strategy provided the methodological basis for the study. The results demonstrate a justified choice of optimal organizational structure based on the factors of organizational behavior of IT directors and strategic priorities of the company. The presented results can be used to justify the decision to change the organizational structure of the company and to assess the social needs of decision makers.
