<![CDATA[ Global Product Division Global product division A structural arrangement in which domestic divisions are given worldwide responsibility for product groups Global product divisions operate as profit centers Helps manage product, technology, customer diversity Ability to cater to local needs Marketing, production and finance can be coordinated on a product-by-product global basis Duplication of facilities and staff personnel within divisions Division manager may pursue currently attractive geographic prospects and neglect others with long-term potential Division managers my spend too much time tapping local rather than international markets See example next slide]]>

Global Functional Division: 

<![CDATA[ Global Functional Division Global functional division A structure that organizes worldwide operations primarily based on function and secondarily on product Approach not used except by extractive companies such as oil and mining firms Favored only by firms that need tight, centralized coordination and control of integrated production processes and firms involved in transporting products and raw materials between geographic areas Emphasizes functional expertise, centralized control, and relatively lean managerial staff Coordination of manufacturing and marketing often is difficult Managing multiple product lines can be very challenging because of the separation of production and marketing into different departments See example next slide]]>

<![CDATA[ Mixed Organization Structures Mixed organization structures A structure that is a combination of a global product, area, or functional arrangement Allows the organization to create the specific type of design that best meets its needs As the matrix design’s complexity increases, coordinating the personnel and getting everyone to work toward common goals often become difficult Too many groups go their own way See example next slide]]>
