(1)Construction business Organization Structure Examples

The following examples are basic structures. Ultimately, you will need to choose and tailor a structure that best fits your business goals and needs - either adopting a basic model or combining different models.

Functional Organization Structure

Functional organizations are structured around job functions. This type of business structure is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses that do not have a wide range of products or production requirements. Product organization structures lend well to organizations such as department stores and supermarkets. When these organizations operate in multiple regions, a hybrid between geographical and product organization structures is suitable.

Product Organization Structure

Matrix Organization Structure

Geographical structures are organized, as the name implies, by geographic area or region. Each region is its own complete entity; its goals tied to the overall goals of the business. There is usually a regional manager overseeing the entire operation, who will report to head office, but will otherwise have complete responsibility for the regional unit. The above chart gives an example of a North American geographical structure. The same can be applied internationally, where regions are split up by continents or subcontinents. Automobile manufacturers and multinational fast-food chains often follow this business organization structure. In some cases, products will remain the same across all regions, while in other cases, a product may be slightly modified or a new product introduced to meet local needs.

Managers are people who steer an organisation towards meeting its' business objectives. Management has been described as: 'the process of planning, organising, leading and controlling the efforts of organisation members and of using all organisational resource to achieve stated organisational goals.' A manager's job is to maintain control over the way an organisation does things, and at the same time to lead, inspire and direct the people under them. In a company the shareholders will elect a board of directors to represent their interests. A Managing Director will be appointed who has overall responsibility for running the company. The managing director with help from other directors will appoint senior managers to run the company. The type of managers appointed will depend on the structure of the company. Possible structures will include:

regional managers when an organisation operates on a regional basis

functional managers when an organisation is split up into various functions e.g. human resources, finance, sales etc

departmental managers when an organisation is split up into departments e.g. a school, or a retailing outlet

general managers - for example, an office or factory may have a general manager who functional managers report to.Each manager in an organisation is given an area of responsibility. Typically they will have targets and objectives to meet which fit into the organisations overall targets and objectives.
