Organizational structures are a method or a way to divide, organize, and coordinate organizational activities. The organizations have created structures to coordinate work factors activity and to control the performance of the members.

Four major structural types of organization are:

I. Functional

II. Divisional

III. Matrix

IV. Flat

Explanation:

Functional Structure:

This structure brings together employees with similar or similar tasks. For instance, accountants are grouped in the financial department and the same applies to the departments of marketing, business, and human resources. This structure permits rapid decision-making since group members have similar skilful knowledge and interests and can easily communicate and also improve their skill by learning from one another.

Divisional Structure

In this structure, employees are grouped by-products or projects which satisfy customer needs. For instance, a restaurant with a catering service could structure the staff by different departments, like a wedding or wholesale retail. The staff is divided in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

Matrix Structure

There is a complex story structure for a matrix, which combines both functional and divisional elements. It divides employees into departments according to their specialization and then divides them into projects and products. A lot of planning and effort is needed to achieve this structure, but one of these is to increase the team's productivity. This is to promote innovation and creativity.

Flat Structure

The traditional top-down management system is impeded by a flat organizational structure. There is no boss concept, each employee is the boss, which removes bureaucracy and improves direct communication. For example, an employee with an innovative idea or proposal need not contact every level of senior managers in order to get an idea from the person responsible. Staff can directly communicate with each other on an individual basis.
