Chapter 6: Departmentalization is the logical grouping of business units to operate efficiently. An organization can split its departments in many ways. Consider a company that develops software. The company develops office suite software, social media software, and video game software and currently uses functional departmentalization as a basis for its organization structure. How might this organizational structure change if the software company operated globally? (Remember Chapter 4?) How might it change if the software company developed software for different industries? How does the organizational structure affect communication?
Remember, if you refer to someone else’s thoughts, ideas, or words, you must include in-text citations and a reference page.
