A functional structure groups employees together based on the functions of
specific jobs like marketing, accounting, HR etc. The functional organizational structure will look like:
- Sales Department (sales function)
- Engineering Department (engineering function)
- Accounting Department (accounting function)
- Human Resource Department (HR function)
Now suppose the organization is working in several countries. The recruiting is done only in USA, the finances are monitored from France and the marketing department sits in Singapore. That structure will be called as a Global Functional Structure.
