17、t 2 Company Structure A Functional Structure is best suited to large companies so that costs can be kept low. Employees perform specialized tasks. For instance, activities related to production, marketing and finance will be separated into three departments. 19However, the marketing department might
18、 include sales, advertising and promotions. This leads to an efficient business where costs are kept low within each department. However, it could also lead to a lack of communication within the company, making the company inflexible and slow to respond when changes are required. Unit 2 Company Stru
19、cture20Unit 2 Company Structure A Divisional Structure divides the company according to the type of work, region or product. Each division contains all the necessary resources and functions within it. An automobile company with a divisional structure might have one division for sports cars, another
20、for subcompact cars, and a third for sedans. 21Each division is responsible for its products and has its own resources such as finance, marketing and equipment. This structure allows flexibility and a quick response to changes in the market place. Unit 2 Company Structure22Unit 2 Company Structure A
21、 Matrix Structure groups employees by both function and product. A simple example of a matrix structure would be when individuals within the company are brought together in order to complete a particular project or task. The individuals are chosen for their particular skills and knowledge according
22、to the needs of the project. The strength of the Matrix Structure lies with the sharing of information and personnel. 23 In general, it has become increasingly clear that through forces of globalization, competition and more demanding customers, the structure of many companies has become flatter and
23、 less hierarchical. Unit 2 Company Structure24 公司结构 根据发展目标的不同,公司可以选择不同的组织结构。而公司的组织结构又将决定其运作经营的模式。以下是几种最常见的公司结构。 Unit 2 Company Structure25 创业型结构在小规模的公司中最为常见。创业型结构的管理是完全集权化的,这意味着所有的重要决定都是由公司的领导者,通常也是公司的所有者作出的,上司与员工之间通过面对面的谈话进行沟通。这种结构于领导者掌握公司的成长与发展的状况,对新公司尤其有利。 Unit 2 Company Structure26 职能制结构有助于低成本运作
24、,大型公司尤其适合。在这种结构下,员工各自执行专门的工作任务。例如,生产、市场营销和财务分属三个部门。Unit 2 Company Structure27而市场营销部门则又可能包含销售、广告和推销工作。这样一来,各部门可以在保持低成本的前提下实现高效率运作。然而,这也会导致公司内部缺乏交流,在需要进行调整时,缺乏灵活性,反应迟缓。 Unit 2 Company Structure28 在部门制结构下,公司部门根据工作种类、区域划分或产品类型进行划分,每个部门都拥有一切必需的资源和功能。采取部门制结构的汽车公司可能会为跑车、超小型汽车和小轿车分别设立部门。Unit 2 Company Struc
25、ture29每个部门负责其特定产品,且各自拥有财政、市场和设备等方面的资源。采取这种结构的公司在面临市场调整时更加灵活,反应迅速。Unit 2 Company Structure30 矩阵式结构依据功能和产品划分员工工作。举一个关于矩阵式结构的简单例子:为了完成某个项目或任务,根据项目需求,公司会从内部(各部门)挑选有相关技能和知识的员工(组成项目组)。矩阵式结构的优势在于它实现了内部信息和人力资源的共享。 Unit 2 Company Structure31 总而言之,在全球化的潮流下,竞争日趋激烈,消费者的需求日益增加,我们越来越清晰地看到,许多公司的组织结构正变得更为精炼简单,等级概念也
