(b)
The advantages of a divisional structure are:
(i) Managerial efficiency:
A divisional structure provides numerous opportunities for the development of skills and knowledge of the managers. The head of each division gains experience as he or she deals with a variety of functions simultaneously. This enables the division head to grow professionally and improve proficiency.
(ii) Measurement of performance:
In a divisional structure, the performance of each of the divisions is judged on the basis of its profit and loss during a particular period. This type of assessment of performance is easier and helps in taking appropriate and timely corrective action in case of poor performance.
The limitations of a divisional structure are :
(i) Departmental conflicts:
Sometimes conflicts may arise among different divisions with regard to various decisions and actions of the organisation such as those relating to the allocation of funds and resources.
(ii) Increase in cost:
As there exists a similar functional structure under each division, the same set of functions are performed under each department.
Thus, there is a high probability of overlapping of activities, which results in a rise in cost for the organisation.
