उत्तर १
Divisional structure refers to an organisational structure wherein various diversified business activities of an organisation are grouped in different divisions. Each division is headed by a divisional manager who is responsible for the performance of that division. Further, under each division, multiple functions are performed such as production, sales and marketing. In other words, under each division, there is a functional structure.
This can be depicted with the help of an example. Suppose an organisation deals in the manufacturing of four products, namely footwear, garments, jewellery and leather accessories. Accordingly, there are four divisions, each of which reports to the Managing Director. Further, under each division, there are four departments—production, sales, marketing and advertising.
