Should Structure Follow Strategy?

What comes first: strategy or structure?

According to me, every organisation does follow certain rules and regulations in a disciplined manner. Therefore, structure normally follows strategy. We can say, strategy and structure are co-related and are interdependent.

Structure follows Strategy. But Often too Slowly...
Jaap de Jonge, Editor, Netherlands

A frequent problem with structure following (changes in) strategy is that often this happens too slowly. Because of inertia, unwillingness and many other motives to resist change. You can witness quite often that an organizational crisis and turnaround management are needed to finally make the organizational structure change happen.
