Boundary-spanning departments are those that work to connect the organization with external groups and people in society, such as customers, suppliers, and government agencies. This includes departments like marketing, public relations, and regulatory affairs. Inter-departmental divisions refer to departments within the organization that work together, while geographical location areas refer to departments based on physical location.
