Page 7: Sustain 2011.03

Divisional organizational structure It is suitable for medium sized to big

companies, Expanding geographically or on

customer base. A Divisional design means that all

activities needed to produce a good or service are grouped into an anonymous unit.

Page 8: Sustain 2011.03

Differences between functional and divisional design

Functional designs are based on groupings by input;

Each department is not an independent profit center;

Divisional design considers output such as product, customer or location.

Each division is independent profit center;

Page 9: Sustain 2011.03

Forms of divisional responsible design

Product division.

• Each unit is for a single product or a group of related products. Division by products is created when there is specific in the production process;

Customer division.

• Organization sells products to diverse group of customers.

Geographic division.

• It is advantageous when is necessary to locate facilities close to customers who have differences in regional tastes or needs.

nt;High customer satisfaction;

Page 13: Sustain 2011.03

Matrix design

It implements functional and divisional structures simultaneously in each department.

The worker in each department is being supervised by two bosses at the same time.

pressure exists for a dual focus;

Large amount of information needs to

be processed;

Distribution keiretsu (ryûtsû)

Page 29: Sustain 2011.03

Vertical Keiretsu

Group of companies within the horizontal keiretsu such as Toyota.

Toyota's success is dependent on suppliers and manufacturers for parts, employees for production, real estate for dealerships, steel, plastics and electronics suppliers for cars as well as wholesalers.

All ancillary companies operate within the vertical keiretsu of Toyota but are members of the larger horizontal keiretsu, although much lower on the organizational chart.
