How Manufacturers Are Organized

Question 6 • Career Explorations III

The product structure overcomes one of the challenges common to a functional organization structure because it is better able to do what?

Answer
A
focus on the goods being made
B
focus on the department's needs
C
focus on career development
D
focus on the worker

Explanation

A product structure groups people and resources around specific products, so teams can concentrate on the goods being made and respond to each product’s needs. In contrast, a functional structure groups employees by departments such as marketing or production, which can make attention to individual products harder. Therefore, the product structure is better able to focus on the goods being made.
