In a larger organization, many routine decisions are pushed low levels of the organization, but there are some strict rules and procedures govern how those decisions are made. Thus, employees often have discretion, but can only exercise it within strict limits. Like the pure mechanistic design, it remains highly controlled, but it does so by being decentralized in such a way that allows lower-level employees to make all the programmed decisions while freeing managers to form policy and make unprogrammed choices.
