David Nadler and Michael Tushman, 1980

Umbrex, Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads two: Structure and Flow. The other ten it leaves to you. None of Composition, Evidence, or Mastery is among them, which is the usual result in this directory: the questions an agent in the loop raises first are the ones the literature answers least.
Informal organization and culture are handled as a precondition affecting fit, not as a scored design choice.
This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
