Option 4: Coordination between product divisions
Multi-divisional structures, also known as multidivisional or M-form structures, typically emphasize coordination between product divisions. In this organizational design, different product or business units (divisions) operate semi-autonomously under a central corporate umbrella. The emphasis is on achieving synergy and coordination between these divisions, allowing them to specialize in their respective products or markets while still benefiting from centralized resources, decision-making, and strategic direction. This structure aims to balance specialization and coordination across different product lines or business units.
