Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A product divisional structure groups employees based on the products they work on, which requires delegation and autonomy to be given to each product group. This can lead to fragmentation and lack of coordination, which require diligent attention from managers to ensure effective decentralization and delegation of decision-making. Functional, customer, and geographic structures may also require attention to decentralization and delegation, but they are not as prone to fragmentation as product structures. Both narrow and wide structures do not refer to a specific type of divisional structure.
