Function oriented or functional organizational structure makes supervision easier because supervisors specialize along the line of expertise (, 2005, ). It is well suited for sport medicine clinics and universities with large staffs because it enables to facilitate allocation of staff members to projects for which they have special skills and knowledge (, 2005, ). In this type of organizational structure, the employees are working in departments based on what are they doing or their area of responsibilities. Functional structure offers authority to the functional heads and the structure is sectioned by departmental groups.
It enables the company to have a simple and clear coordination from the top management; also reduces overhead; it also provides clearly marked career paths fro hiring new employees and promoting employees; and most of all employees will be able to work together with their colleagues who have the same interests.
Accenture is one of the best examples of companies that are using the functional organizational structure. Accenture is an American company that offers technical support to other companies in the world. It is a global management consulting firm, technology services and outsourcing company that is committed in bringing innovation to their client, in order for them to become high-performance businesses and government (, 2005)
The company is divided into two groups or categories in terms of services that they are offering to their client. The IT department focuses on the technical needs such as deployment, implementation and training. It also focuses on the software, networking and hardware that are needed by their client. On the other hand, Business Process Outsourcing focuses on the documentation and other mild analysis of the client’s request. By doing this the company will be able to divide the task in different areas and help to lessen the work of the IT department that bears the biggest responsibilities. It will also help to manage the skills and talent of their employees and eventually help them to detect and discover the strengths and weaknesses of each and every individual.
