Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the company is organized into functional departments, employees can specialize and develop their skills in-depth, leading to opportunities for growth and development. While quick response to changes in the business environment and excellent communication between departments are desirable outcomes, they are not guaranteed simply by organizing into functional departments. Increase in scope of performance of functions is also not inherently improved by departmentalization.
