Valve is the prototype knowledge-based company because its organizational design fosters creativity, action, fast learning, and high productivity. I experienced a similar organization about 15 years before Valve, at Oticon, the Danish hearing aid manufacturer which dropped bosses, titles, departments, and most of the bureaucracy and paperwork that slows down work. As in Valve, the value-creation was spectacular: 60% growth in market value each year for a ten-year period.

Managers delegate the right to make decisions to employees because delegation economizes on scarce managerial attention, fosters the use of local knowledge, and positively impacts employee motivation. This is particularly important in knowledge-intensive organizations that operate in uncertain environments, where employees have specialized knowledge and need to be responsive to local changes. Managers, however, often renege on delegation, particularly in high-uncertainty contexts, because they are tempted to adjust past decisions based on new information. We argue that employees’ knowledge that management may renege on delegated decision rights has negative motivational consequences that are costly in knowledge-intensive organizations. As a consequence, making delegation credible is essential for sustaining the advantages that flow from delegation. Organizational design can play a key role in making delegation credible, supporting the value creation caused by delegated discretion. Our theoretical argument sheds new light on relationships among organizational design, credible delegation, and firm-level value creation.
