AbstractOrganizational structure refers to the way that an organization arranges people and jobs so that its work can be performed and its goals can be met. When a work group is very small and face-to-face communication is frequent, formal structure may be unnecessary, but in a larger organization decisions have to be made about the delegation of various tasks. Thus, procedures are established that assign responsibilities for various functions. It is these decisions that determine the organizational structure.Organizing operations around product lines may be another choice for manufacturing firms that possess facilities in multiple international locations. Just as in the case of a geographical corporate management structure, this form allows for easier expansion.International organizational structure is sometimes based on divisional structuring. Companies may choose this option because expansion is relatively simple. A new division is created, and nested within the existing management structure.
