 Interrelationship of functions within the organization & link to THE organizational structure
Despite a big difference in the design, services and products provided by both organizations GSK and Abbott; they have a strong connection. Organizations have different configurations depending on their goals. Organization functions are related to the organization's objectives. "GSK" is a profit organization dedicated to the continuous development of customer's livelihood. The organizational structure consists of various levels of authority, rights, communication and responsibilities of the organization. GSK uses formal organizational structure in which two internet exchange channels operate in internal environment and external environment. It uses standard policy processes as well as culture. Companies should accept organizational structure through their operations. There are various organizational structures according to the organization's functions and objectives. These configurations include:
A) Functional organization structure: Under this, department departments and production departments are divided into functions such as. Subordinate employees of these departments need to report to the Heads of the departments and report at a higher level. Power is also distributed within a same hierarchy (Anon., 2003). Therefore, in this configuration, efficiency is directly related to organizational structure and goals because each department tries to achieve organizational goals. Under the functional organizational structure, sub-indexes have been managed by experts in the field with experienced experts and the company will also take advantage of this expertise. This allows people to share their knowledge and skills by sharing them. However, there are some errors in this structure: A functional department is very hard to work with all other departments to achieve the same objectives and this structure too creates competitive environments in various departments.
B) Segmental organizational structure: In an organizational structure, business functions are classified into specific sections or branches based on geography, market, products or service groups. Each section has a complete set of features. Each department has its own responsible person who is responsible for all activities of the organization's mission. This structure permits segments to focus more on specific products or services with leaders. However, the organizational structure of the department can invite strategic thinking rather than workshop politics, which can share and provide an approach that meets organizational objectives (BBC, 2012; Thomas & Schmidt, 2012).
C) Matrix structure: A few associations acknowledge a framework structure and are more adaptable than some other association. For this situation, every representative works in a useful based office, for example, promoting or HR, and they should work under a particular venture group. In the group, the workers are with various practical zones. It is a mixture of functional organizational structure and departmental organizational structure. Abbott and GSK have accepted this framework due to changes in the organization's requirements. The matrix organization helps develop powerful communication systems through effective information exchange. All departments work together as well as communicate with each other in order to solve the problems. Before deciding, the exchange of information increases employee motivation in addition to morale, but this creates complexity within the design, which means sometimes employees are confused about the supervisor who will report them. This is a very expensive organization. Therefore, these organizational structures have their own likes and disadvantages. Organizational organizations must accept one of these organizational structures...
