Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the business only exports and has no other operations abroad, the best choice would be to adopt an Export department. This department would focus solely on managing and coordinating the company's export activities. It would be responsible for all aspects of the exporting process, such as negotiating contracts, arranging shipments, and handling customs and regulations in foreign markets. A functional organization may be too general for a company with a specific focus on exports, an international department may be too broad for a company with only one international activity, and a global product organization would not be necessary if the company only has one product line.
