Question
Which of the following best describes a divisional organisation structure?
A. A structural organisation
B. A centralised organisation
C. A decentralised organisation
D. A transitional organisation
E. A regional organisation
Answer
C
Explanation:
The correct answer is “C. A decentralised organisation.” A divisional organisational structure is typically decentralised, where divisions operate semi-autonomously with their own management. Each division is responsible for its products, markets, or geographic regions, allowing greater flexibility and responsiveness to local conditions, while corporate headquarters maintains strategic control. This structure contrasts with centralised systems where decision-making is concentrated at the top levels of the organisation.
