centralized structure in which management develops policies and choices. Procedures

control from one department to the other departments that oversee and guide their

organizational structure.

+) ORGAIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
A, Hybrid of Hierarchical
COO: There is also a CEO in the ranks who oversees all business, from
marketing, resource development, communications, human resources, the mobile,
advertising platform and the global platform, to name but a few. Each of these
operations is conducted by one individual and monitored by the COO.
Security: Also under the Board of Directors is the head of security operations.
This department is headed by another person looking at the security issues of the
social network company.
Product: The product department consists of a product and a publicity and is
again managed by a person responsible for all the services involved.
Legal: There is also a legal department dealing with Facebook public policy.
Engineering: The Engineering Section has several sub-sections including
software development, engineering & product and the engineering of
infrastructure.
Community and Marketing: The Consumer Marketing Team, Partners & PRs
are part of this section.
Treasure: The CFO of the financial company also includes a treasurer.
Following is the vertical model of the structure of the Facebook organization. IT security;
business development; marketing center; financial and technical center are the key
components. There are a number of subgroups in all these major divisions. Examples of

groups, consumer analysis groups and public relations.

3, Product-Based Divisions.
New platform
Apps
Central Product
1, Facebook Inc. and its multinational social media and online advertising activities
are flexibility provided by the Matrix Organization Structure. This flexibility is a
structural benefit that makes it easy for the company to react to market changes and
trends.
The ability to exert considerable control over the company is another advantage of
this company structure. Corporate functional groups, for example, are a functional
function that allows Facebook Inc. to maintain global control and management.
Product-based components also encourage product development creativity and
innovation.
Facebook has a flat organizational structure with narrow span of control, where
there are fewer subordinates accountable to manager.
Facebook has decentralized decision-making that reduces the burden on the Chief
Executive Officer).
C, LEGAL STRUCTURE
As can be seen in the above chart, Facebook's revenues increase year by year as the
two departments combine.
As you can see, both departments solve the same problem to attract existing
customers and leaders.
The business development team may lead a better leadership and quality of its
marketing team while the marketing team can expect business growth to improve
its way of nurturing and integrating. Potential clients.
Participation-Marketing can be associated with business development to
encourage sales pitches for SMEs for industry events and conferences.
2. Marketing and Information Security
“The company also has over 800 million user information with a large number of
users” (Protalinski, 2020). Facebook is a company called "Made in USA" and the
American people are a very important factor in information security, so security is
placed on top of Facebook and is considered to be the philosophy of its marketing
communication campaigns. Facebook has proven to be a highly secure brand with a
variety of change and trust marketing strategies for its users.
Facebook has announced the following:
"We will further restrict developer access to data to prevent other types of abuse"
(Facebook And Data Security: What It Means For Marketers | adQuadrant, 2020).
A further step is to make it easier for users to adjust their privacy settings. "We've also
removed outdated settings to make it clear what information can and can't be shared
with apps" (Facebook And Data Security: What It Means For Marketers | adQuadrant,
2020).
3, Advantages and Disadvantages of organizational structure
a, Advantages
It is economical
As stated above, there is little management between the operator and the employee
within this organizational structure. This means that the management has fewer
paychecks, additional benefits, etc to pay. Wage costs are reduced, helping firms save
money and better pay staff.
It encourages quick decision-making
There are less decision-making holes. Another advantage of a flat organizational
structure. A decision should be consulted by fewer people, so that management can
respond quickly to any issues or concerns. It creates a direct communication between
the owner (or CEO) and the person on the front line (workers). It creates a direct
communication link.
It provides for clear communication
When information is transmitted through a series of ears and mouths, it usually turned
out to be either distorted, buffed, or deflated. There is a large chance of
miscommunication when communication passes through many management levels.
The flawed organization, allowing management to make direct contributions from
employees and vice versa, helps to avoid this.
It calls for less dominance and control
Many think that a company leader, including the employees, must be able to monitor
and manage everything and everything within the company. However certain studies
show that they are not. Because the fewer time managers are required to helicopter or
micro-manage their employees, the more productive they are when they get to know
each other more.
b, Disadvantages
Controlling Can Easily Lose
This structure, as mentioned above is suitable for startups and small companies that
still manage the number of employees. If the ratio of employees to managers is too
small, the system can pose a problem for the organization as a whole. When fewer
people put a stop to bad behavior and fewer people support or back them on their
decisions, the management can easily lose control.
Could fight labor-relationship
If management has too many people to run every day, it may be difficult for managers
to connect with their employees in an individual capacity, which is crucial in
maintaining trust and strengthening the basic responsibility and accountability of
employees and the organization. This con can have a significant impact on an
organization's respect and moral standards at the authority level.
It can create power fighting
It has been shown that employees often lack a particular boss, especially when there is
nothing about their owner or CEO. This is a corporate structure. This can generate
confusion among management staff and possible power struggles.
May cause confusion in roles
An employee may come to work in a house to play a defined role, but he or she must
do more. This makes it difficult for employees to concentrate on their tasks and work.
