In this paper, Prasad and Rubenstein hypothesize relationships between the formulation and implementation dimensions of general innovation related organizational politics (GIOP) and formalization, centralization, complexity, use of matrix structures, departmental power differentials and management's propensity for risk. According to them, if the organization's structure is complex, excessively organic or mechanistic and interdepartmental power differentials and management's risk propensity skewed, then GIOP is high.
