Carrefour has a hierarchical structure with a more functional managerial organizational structure. Javier Campo
Their organization is such that the CEO or chairman is the top person in the hierarchy. Below him Director of DIA International
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
Jean-Francois Domont
divisions lies the directors for each specific global zone or region for which Carrefour is located. Director of Europe Nations
As well as a director for each zone they have what they refer to as the expanded committee which (excluding. France & Spain)
consists of directors of specific nations or subsidiaries.
Leon Salto
This organizational structure works very efficiently for Carrefour. It delegates, to the major
Director of France
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. Alfonso Merry Del Val
Director of Spain
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.
