The academic field has been paying attention to the research on the structure of organizations and running mode concerning commercial insurance companies for a long time, these researches almost focus on structural description and functional compartmentalization. And the concerning theses are mainly about introducing the managing practice in developed countries. In practice the managers always give priority to business operation and financial solidity such as market share, the ability to profit, solvency and asset-liability-management. There come four reasons for this situation. Firstly, the academic research is enslaved to the evolution of practice. Secondly, the emphasis on business diverts the scholar's attention owing to its actualization and convenience. Thirdly, the theories of finance management and investment in insurance companies have developed more mature compared with fundamental research on insurance companies and have been less influenced by basic study such as economics, system theory, behavior theory and mathematics which means higher difficulty and more indeterminacy. Lastly, the importance of basic research on commercial organize need further comprehension. In fact, the extensive and fundamental study on insurance companies have been becoming more and more necessary because of insurance companies' socialization and tremendous economic influence, economic transform and rapid application of technology.

As for the organizational structure and operation mechanism in commercial insurance companies, the author has made some contrasts and analyses according to the reality in China. When comparing and analyzing different organizational patterns, the author discusses the operational mode little because the choice of operational mode is determined by organizational pattern(1) with crucial status. The thesis does not give any affirmatory choice for the organizational pattern and operational mode of commercial insurance companies. Under the framework of CS, any singular and absolute judgment is susceptible. Under the situation that matrix organize, study style organize and non-boundary organize have mushroomed today, our choice ought to be based on the given circumstance and target.(2) The components influencing the organizational structure and operational mode become a pivot. Under the framework of CS, the author generalizes these components. The analysis on these components is a procedure of knowledge's combination and integration. And the author hopes some useful results can be drawn fro...
