Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional departmentalization groups employees by their specific skills and expertise, such as marketing, accounting, or human resources. This reduces the number of skills a manager must possess, as each manager oversees a specific functional area and can rely on their employees' expertise. In contrast, other types of departmentalization, such as customer or product, may require managers to have a broader skillset and knowledge base.
