Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A functional structure is based on the grouping of employees based on the functions and their skillset. They perform similar tasks and have similar skills which are grouped into different departments based on their areas of expertise. Cross-functional structures are built for multidisciplinary work and involve various departments, while horizontal structures are arranged according to stages of production across departments.
