Grouping Organizational Units by Processes Has Several Disadvantages When Compared

Grouping organizational units by processes has several disadvantages when compared to grouping by functions, including:

A) general lack of interaction across individuals who share similar professional backgrounds, educations, or specialized training
B) extra need for coordination and control from above, which tends to result in a more formalized or bureaucratic structure
C) diminish the sense of professional worth of skilled workers and potentially lower overall quality of the work that they perform
D) often parochial-with little more than a narrow perspective on organizational goals or purpose
E) lack built-in objectives that directly relate to organizational goals
