Functional Organisation Structure

Divisional Organisation Structure

Correct Answer:

Divisional Organisation Structure

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : Divisional Organisation Structure

(4) Divisional Organization Structure.

A divisional organization structure is typically used when a company diversifies its operations into different product lines or markets. It involves the creation of semi-autonomous divisions within the company, each responsible for a specific product line or market segment. In this case, RS Infotech is planning to enter the cosmetics market, which represents a new and distinct product line from its existing technology sector. To manage the operations effectively and efficiently, it would be prudent for RS Infotech to adopt a divisional organizational structure, enabling the new cosmetics division to function independently with its own resources and management.
