Carrefour has a hierarchical structure with a more functional managerial organizational structure.
Their organization is such that the CEO or chairman is the top person in the hierarchy. Below him sits
the CFO, the Director of Organization and Systems and the Director of Merchandise and Marketing.
The CFO exists between the CEO and the functional divisions. Beyond the functional divisions lies
the directors for each specific global zone or region for which Carrefour is located. As well as a
director for each zone they have what they refer to as the expanded committee which consists of
directors of specific nations or subsidiaries.
This organizational structure works very efficiently for Carrefour. It delegates, to the major functions
of the large corporation, the abilities to handle all of the necessary business dealing requested by each
separate division. Allowing each function to know the dealings of each division allows them to
compare better how each division is performing compared to the other divisions. This also allows for a
more standardized means of coordinating the functions of each division, limiting confusion and
overlapping responsibilities. Carrefour has several types of products (stores) and is located in over
20 countries, which would make a divisional structure very complex.
