Organizing for Global Competition
{"Image DocumentName": "Organizing for Global Competition", "Image ImageDescription": "Companies are usually structured around one of three alternatives. global product divisions responsible for product sales throughout the world. geographical divisions responsible for all products and functions within a given geographical area. a matrix organization consisting of either of these arrangements with centralized sales and marketing run by a centralized functional staff, or a combination of area operations and global product management. Global product division structures are usually used by companies experiencing rapid growth and have broad, diverse product lines. General Electric, NBC Universal. Geographic structures work best when a close relationship with national and local governments is important. Matrix form is the most extensive of the three organizational structures. It is popular with companies as they reorganize for global competition. A matrix structure permits management to respond to the conflicts that arise among functional activity, product, and geography. It is designed to encourage sharing of experience, resources, expertise, technology, and information among global business units.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
