Other Organisational

devising an appropriate business-level strategy to
allow the division to compete effectively in its
industry

of customers they serve
 Allows managers to be responsive to the needs of
their customers and act flexibly in making

 Global geographic structure
 Managers locate different divisions in each of the
world regions where the organization operates.

subordinate reporting relationships.

rapidly to the need for change.
 Each employee has two bosses (functional
manager and product manager) and possibly
cannot satisfy both.
