Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A virtual organisation is a structure where most of the functions are outsourced to other organisations or individuals. In this scenario, the company has already outsourced many of its basic functions to other firms, making it a good fit for a virtual organisation structure. A matrix structure involves multiple reporting lines and may not be necessary in this scenario. A matrix organization involves two or more reporting lines depending on the project or function, and again, may not be necessary in this scenario. A team structure involves teams with specific goals working towards a common objective and may not be the most appropriate in this case since the company has already outsourced most of its functions.
