Question

Global businesses with a narrow product line or a highly integrated product mix, such as aircraft manufacturers or oil and gas firms typically use a(n) _____ organizational structure.

Answer 1

Answer:

functional organizational structure

Explanation:

A functional organizational structure organizes employees by grouping them according to their skills, specialties and knowledge (e.g. marketing, finance, engineering departments). They are usually vertical organizations, where each department is semi-independent from the rest, and the heads of the departments report directly to upper management (CEO, CFO, COO).
