Organization Structure
Formal arrangement of positions, reporting relationships, authority.
Real World
Unilever uses a divisional structure, organising its business into separate units (Beauty, Foods, Home Care) so each division can respond quickly to its own market conditions without disrupting the rest of the company.
Exam Focus
Always link structure to business context — a flat structure suits a small firm; a tall structure suits a large, hierarchical organisation.
