Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geo Corp uses divisional departmentalization, which means departments are organized based on geographic regions or product/service lines. The addition of a new service area focused on developing business in sub-Saharan Africa would create a new geographic region within the company's divisional structure. This is different from functional departmentalization, where departments are organized by function or task, and matrix departmentalization, where employees report to both functional and product/project managers.
