differentiate between a department with line responsibility and a department with staff responsibility

While a department with line responsibility is directly involved in the daily activities and management of the business, a department with staff responsibility simply provides support for the line managers.

Explanation:

The line department consists of the chain of leaders whose positions in the organization are clearly differentiated from those of their subordinates. They make decisions and supervise the daily affairs of the business. Examples of these include; the department heads, the president, the production supervisors, etc.

A department with staff responsibility provides support for the department with line responsibility.  Examples of personnel in the line department are the legal advisers and the human resource staff. The legal advisers provide support by advising the line managers on the lawful means to transact their business activities.
