Compare and contrast the four types of organizational structures discussed in the textbook.
What will be an ideal response?
Simple structures are more common in small organizations where there is one
central authority figure, usually a business owner, who tends to make the decisions.
Functional structures group employees, according to the tasks they perform for the
organization, such as marketing, finance, and human resources. The divisional
structure--sometimes called multidivisional structure--groups employees by products
and services, by geographic regions, or by customers. The matrix structure is an
organizational structure that combines both functional and divisional
departmentalization, with dual lines of authority.
