Organizational Structure
•Small-size, single-product
•Undifferentiated market
•Scale or expertise within the function
•Long product development and life cycles
•Common standards
4. “Product Structure”
•Product or Groups of Products focused
•Multiple products for separate customers
•Short product development and life cycle
•Minimum efficient scale for functions or outsourcing
http://macy.ba.ttu.edu/5491 Week #11organizational structure 39
Choosing Macro Organization Structures - 3

•Buyer (customer) strength
•Customer knowledge advantage
•Rapid customer service and product cycles
•Minimum efficient scale in functions or outsourcing
6. “Geographical Structure”

•Geographical market (customer) segments needed
7. “Process Structure”
•Best seen as an alternative to the functional structure
•Potential for new processes and radical change to processes
•Reduced working capital
•Need for reducing process cycle times http://macy.ba.ttu.edu/5491 Week #11organizational structure 40
Choosing Macro Organization Structures - 4
8. “Hybrid Structure Model”

ABB - Fall of 1998 - 3
What They Did:
• Break-up existing regional (local) S.B.U.’s
into smaller, more focused global
business S.B.U.’s
• 5,000 P/L Centers
Why?
• Streamlining the organization to tap
the trend towards greater globalization
• Shorten the decision process
• Flatten (once more) the structure
• Increase speed of decision making
