While I do see the value of having separate structure categories, I also see companies mixing these verse staying to one type. For instance, Pfizer would be a prime example of a company who would use both functional and divisional structures. I say this because you need the experts in each field of study however you also need experts in various international aspects in order to facilitate the world-wide distribution operations. In your opinion, do you see this being to confusing or impossible to manage operations due to the complexity?

The functional structure groups workers according to their specific knowledge and skills. Johnson \& Johnson (Moradi et al., 2021) is an example of a company that employs a functional organization. For instance, it has separate marketing, sales, operations, and research and development departments. Since each department concentrates on its expertise, this organizational style promotes specialization and the effective uge of resources. Divisional Structure A divisional structure is a decentralized organization split into partially autonomous groups or divisions according to location, products, or services. For instance, each division is a distinct organization with responsibilities, including marketing, finance, and production. According to Imran et al. (2021), Coca-Cola has geparate divisions for every business area, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. For a firm like Coca-Cola, which operates in numerous locations with various consumer tastes, this structure enables better flexibility and reaponsiveness to local markets. Matrix Structure The matrix structure involves employee organization into groups in a matrix structure according to both function and product, service, or project. Volberda et al. (2021) argued that General Electric (GE) has various business units, including those in the aviation, power, health, and transportation sectors. Moreover, the business splits the units into global, regional, and local teams. Therefore, the structure allows for cross-business units and cross-regional collaboration and innovation. Flat Structure In a flat atructure, employees have more liberty and decision-making power in organizations, and interaction is more open and informal. For instance, Valve Corporation, a video game creation and digital distribution company, has no formal hierarchy or managers (Imran et al., 2021). Additionally, the entity urges employees to work on topics that interest them and is free to change projects if they perceive they have contributed significantly. Thus, the structure encourages creativity, invention, and employee empowerment in a creative business like video game production, as staff members follow their passions. -Brandon Sibley
