Five basic types of organizational structure

The five basic types of organizational structure are linear, functional, linear-functional, divisional, and matrix.

1, linear organizational structure

Organization of each manager of its direct subordinates have direct authority; organization of each person can only report to a direct superior, that is, "a person, a head"; managers in the scope of its jurisdiction, have absolute authority or complete authority.

2. Functional organizational structure

Three elements of enterprise organizational structure:

1, the setup of units, departments and positions

The setup of enterprise organizational units, departments and positions is not to divide an enterprise organization into several parts, but rather, the enterprise, as an organization that serves a specific goal, must be composed of several corresponding parts, just as people needs feet in order to walk. It is not a division from whole to part, but the whole must have different parts in order to achieve a specific goal. This relationship cannot be inverted.

2. Definition of the duties and powers of the various units, departments and posts

This is the definition of the functional role of the objectives of the various components. If a certain constituent parts, there is no indispensable target function role, like a person's tail will shrivel up and disappear. This definition is a division of labor, but one that is internal to the organism. The mouth can be used for eating or for breathing.

3, the unit, department and post roles in the definition of the relationship between each other

This is to define the role of the various parts of the role, how to coordinate with each other, with each other, complementary, alternative relationship.

However, as a large work, the three exist in a kind of mutual undertaking relationship. We want to conduct a normative analysis of the organizational structure, which focuses on the first issue, the latter two issues is the first issue of the further development.
