Organizational Architecture is "a theory of the firm, or multiple firms, which integrates the human activities and capital resource utilization within a structure of task allocation and coordination to achieve desired outcomes and performance for both the short run and the strategic long run" (Burton and Obel, 2011a, 2011b).[1]

- Strategy: the core approach the organization will use to accomplish its goals.
- Structure: How people are situated in units and how their work is coordinated.
- Systems: The process used to add value.
- Skills: The capabilities of the various groups of people in the organization.
- Culture: The values, norms, and assumptions that shape behavior.
