Organizational Structure Analysis

Task 1

1.1 organisational structure means the division of labour and patterns of coordination, communication, workflow, and formal power that directs organisational activities. It is also set out in four different types of key features which is the divisions of tasks (departmentalisation), the depth of the hierarchy (span of control), and the extent of authority delegation (how much decentralization or centralisation).

Now I will be showing you how the 6 structures work or function together.

Starting with function organizational structure is something that organizes employees with or around specific knowledge or even resources like let’s say marketing or production.

This is a diagram showing how it works out:



There is also product based organisational structure and here’s also a diagram which indicates a few steps:



Matrix structure is also one of them which mean that employees are temporarily assigned to a specific project team and have a permanent functional unit. And this is another diagram that will help you understand:

I am sure she was an understanding boss because she let them off and understood every time they wanted to take an afternoon off.

If I was to relate to Geert Hofstede culture dimension theory I would say that he said that there is an effect on society’s culture on the values of its members, and how the values related back to their behaviours, using a structure derived from factor analysis. Hofstede theory has been used in many fields as a paradigm for research, practically in cross-culture psychology, international management, and cross-cultural communication.
