Functional structure |
The correct answer is option 4- functional structure. Grouping of jobs of similar nature under functional and organising these major functions as separate departments creates a functional structure. All departments report to a coordinating head. A functional structure is an organisational design that groups similar or related jobs together. Functional structure makes training of employees easier as the focus is only on a limited range of skills and each employee is expected to gain proficiency with regard to one function only. |
