INTRODUCTION
Every organization works with teamwork and coordination of the employees working
within it. A team could come out with the expected results only if they could communicate in a
better way. An organization consists of many such teams and they have to be having some
behavioural characteristics for the organizational communication in order to achieve the
organizational goals. The formal behaviour and informal behaviour of the employees in the
company are essential elements of the official communication towards the approach to achieve
the organizational objectives (Ashby, 2013). The official transition of the information involves
the formal behaviour of the employees considering each others as co-workers, subordinates or
superiors. Whereas the informal behaviour portrays a friendly and unofficial relations of
employees, within the firm and even outside after the working hours.

Task 1
1.1 Comparison of different organizational structures and culture
The table below will clearly distinguish the factors of difference in the three different
organizational structures:
Basis Functional Divisional Matrix
Basic Form The employees are
organized into
departments on the
functional basis on
which they perform in
the company.
It structures the
employees on the base
of the product or
service produced by
the organization, the
area of which the
market is handled by
them or the specific
customer section or
market focused on.
This structure of
organizational
behaviour is a hybrid
of both the divisional
and functional
structure, creating
effective and
independent units of
business for every
particular market that
is targeted or each
services and product
produced by the
company.
Benefits Employees working
within the functional
structure will be
supporting and
enhancing each other's
knowledge in every
function. This type of
structuring may create
greater capabilities and
scale economies.
The divisional
structure is mostly
decentralized, enabling
flexibility at a higher
level when in reaction
with external market
forces.
The matrix structure
will be in attempt for
the advantages of both
the functional and
divisional structures to
be attained.
