Taking into account the results of the previous studies described above, the authors of the article took a different approach. On the basis of the analysis of the concepts of organizational structures, two basic types of organizational structures were identified and using cluster analysis, an attempt was made to prove their consistent change in the process of organizational development. The proposed approach was to simplify the typification of organizational structures and to develop on its basis a theoretical model of the development of organizational structure of industrial enterprises. When selecting the initial information, the authors abandoned the use of data from the questionnaire of managers of organizations in favor of using a statistical database. This approach allowed to significantly increase the number of organizations in the sample in comparison with the studies described in the literature (Hanks et al., 1993, Shirokova, 2008, Shirokova et al., 2016), as well as to conduct studies separately for organizations of different branches of economy. The results show that the increase in the number of organizations in the sample has had a positive impact on the research results obtained, which can be seen by comparing the research conducted by the authors in two sectors of the economy (Bobkov et al., 2017, Bobkov et al., 2018). Another significant difference proposed by the authors was the use of both structural variables and indicators of financial and economic activity of companies in the course of research, which allowed for a more accurate and unambiguous interpretation of the results obtained and assign the organizations under research to different levels of their organizational development. As it was mentioned above, to confirm the theoretical model of evolution of the organizational structure of industrial enterprises put forward by the authors, the cluster analysis was used, which was carried out using the IBM SPSS program. Besides, for specification of the received results the method of construction of a tree of the purposes was used. The source data was obtained from the Albertina Gold Edition database (company Bisnode Česká republika, a.s.). Initially, 337 motor vehicle production companies in the Czech Republic were selected for the research based on their business results for the calendar year 2016 (from 01. 01. 2016 to 31. 12. 2016). The selection of the year was based on the completeness of the information. According to the results of primary processing by the authors, 11 enterprises were sifted due to the lack of indicators necessary for the analysis. The financial indicators were calculated in the original currency – Czech CZK. 3. Problem Solution When constructing the theoretical model of industrial enterprises, the authors proceeded from the assumption that in the process of their development and improvement of operational activity in a certain period of time the boundary of existing technological restrictions is reached, which determines the limit of productivity growth. In the scientific literature such approaches are described in works on the concept of the S-curve (Foster, 1986; Christensen, 2013) and models of sustainable growth (Rappaport, 1986; Van Horne, 2008). Achieving these limits of technological constraints is a trigger that triggers the process of transforming the organizational structure to ensure further growth of the enterprise.
