In our age of strong competition every company try to minimize its costs and to maximize its profit.
And one of things which helps to do it – it’s the correct structure organization of your company.
There are some possible organizational structures, and every company chose one which does for its product, size and aims.
The most ancient is the functional structure.
It consists of traditional chain of commands, includes incorporating senior management, middle and junior management.
The main advantages of this structure is clear lines of communication ad commands from top to bottom.
But this system is very bureaucratic and can’t make decisions quickly.
Usually this structure is used by industrial companies.
The next organizational structure is organizing along product lines.
This system often is used by IT companies.
The company is divided into groups and every group works with its product.
The multinational companies use the geographic structure.
But if you a going to conquer the market of a new country, you should know its standards of quality.
The Matrix structure is used by companies if they need to pool together different skills from a variety of functional areas.
It is organized in project teams.
Nowadays the organizational structure is susceptible to delayering process.
The system become plainer, role of middle management is reducing.
It helps to reduce costs and to make the structure more flexible and to innovate itself quickly.
In conclusion I’d like to add that new structures of organization help people to overcome many challenges in short time.
