What are the five basic organization structures? Describe each. (3 points)
A company with a functional organizational structure is divided into various
departments or teams. These are often built around specific corporate
functions, such as sales, marketing, IT, finance, and human resources.
The divisional structure groups teams or departments into broader
divisions. This is often done on either a geographic or product-line basis.
With geographically based structures, companies create divisions based on
the specific regions or countries they serve. For instance, a company may
find it more economical to be found near a specific material source. This
means that a geographic structure makes more practical and financial sense.
The matrix structure organizes reporting relationships between employees
and supervisors in a grid-like model. This differs from the direct lines of the
more traditional hierarchical structure.
The network organizational structure is most associated with companies
that either partner with other businesses or that outsource large segments
of business operations to contractors and freelancers. It describes the
relationship between various locations and those outside or third-party
entities.
