The aim of organisation is:To define and effectively use planned activities of
people to achieve objectives and other needs of the company.

Forms of organisational structures

Informal – spontaneus existence in the group of people with schared interest, friendship, sympathy, unofficial channels of communication
Grouping Jobs into FunctionsGrouping Jobs into Functions Once tasks are grouped into jobs, managers
must decide how to group jobs together. Function: people working together with similar
skills, tools or techniques to perform their jobs. Functional structure consists of departments such as
marketing, production, and finance. Workers can learn from others doing similar tasks. Easy for managers to monitor and evaluate workers.
Hard for one department to communicate with others. Managers can become preoccupied with their
department and forget the firm

Global StructuresGlobal Structures
When managers find different problems or demands across the globe, global solutions are needed. Global geographic structure: different divisions
serve each world region. For customer needs that vary between regions.
Global product structure: Customers in different regions buy similar products so firms keep most functional work at home and set up a division to market product abroad.
Matrix & Product TeamsMatrix & Product Teams Matrix structure: managers group people by
function and product teams simultaneously. Results in a complex network of reporting relationships. Very flexible and can respond rapidly to change. Each employee has two bosses which can cause problems.
Functional manager gives different directions than product manager and employee cannot satisfy both.
Product Team Structure: no 2-way reporting and the members are permanently assigned to the team and empowered to bring a product to market.
