This PPT slide, part of the 17-slide Guide to Organizational Structures PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of various organizational structures that large organizations can adopt, emphasizing the potential for hybrid models. It categorizes the structures into 5 main types: Functional, Product-based, Geographic-based, Process-based, and Customer-based structures. Each type is represented visually, showing how different departments or functions align under a board.
The Functional structure organizes teams by specific functions like marketing, sales, and production. This model is straightforward, but can lead to silos if not managed properly. The Product-based structure focuses on specific product lines, allowing teams to concentrate on particular market segments, which can enhance product development and marketing efforts.
Geographic-based structures are tailored for organizations operating in multiple regions, ensuring that local market needs are met effectively. This structure can facilitate responsiveness to regional demands, but may complicate global strategy alignment. The Process-based structure emphasizes the workflow and processes within the organization, which can streamline operations, but may overlook functional expertise.
The Customer-based structure prioritizes customer segments, aligning teams to cater specifically to different customer needs. This approach can enhance customer satisfaction, but may require significant coordination across functions. Lastly, the Matrix structure combines elements from various structures, allowing for flexibility and responsiveness, but often leading to complexity in reporting and accountability.
The slide concludes with an example of a hybrid structure, illustrating how organizations might integrate shared services with process-based functions. This approach can optimize efficiency while addressing diverse operational needs. Overall, the slide serves as a foundational guide for understanding organizational design choices, crucial for strategic decision-making.
