Classical literature identifies organizational structure mainly under
three categories:
1. Functional (or Traditional) type organization.
2. Product (or Process) type organization
3. Matrix type organization.
Functional type
Here the structure is built up on
specialization. Departments are grouped, based on specialized knowledge
available, viz., production, marketing, sales, materials and finance.
Pure product Type Organization
Here the organization is
developed with production managers as the line managers who are specialists of
a particular type of product or process. See Fig. 2.1(b)
Matrix Type Organization
This is an attempt to combine
advantages of both functional and product type organization structure discussed
above. Here the structure is based on more than one basis of grouping. Equal
emphasis is given for both the types of structure and both the types of
managers viz., line and staff. This is called matrix structure. See Fig
2.1(c).
The establishment of the
organization will vary according to the size of the unit, its geographical
distribution, nature of products etc., Hence there is no one best method for
universal application. Tags : Human Resources Management - Organization of HRM
