問 30
- ア
正解 A divisional organization divides the company into units based on businesses such as product, region, or customer, and is a self-contained form of organization in which each division owns functions such as purchasing, development, production, and sales by itself. In choice ア, the division running the X business has its own purchasing organization, and purchasing for the Y business is handled by the purchasing organization of the division running the Y business. In other words, the purchasing function is placed independently for each business, and each division holds its own functions, a typical example of a divisional structure. Therefore, ア is correct.
Incorrectイ
Placing a specialized organization for each function such as HR, development, production, and sales is an example of a functional organization, which divides by function rather than by business. This is the opposite idea from a divisional structure, where each business unit holds its own functions, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectウ
Receiving instructions from two superiors, the person responsible for sales in region M and the person responsible for sales of product X, is an example of a matrix organization, which has two lines of command, vertical and horizontal. This differs from a divisional structure, which has a single line of command, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectエ
Gathering personnel cross-functionally from related departments to plan and develop a new business and disbanding once the goal is achieved is an example of a project organization, which is formed for a limited period. This differs in nature from a divisional structure, which runs businesses on an ongoing basis, so it is incorrect.
- A divisional organization divides by business units such as product, region, and customer, and each division owns functions such as purchasing, development, production, and sales by itself, a self-contained organization.
- Identifying organizational forms: dividing by function is a functional organization, two lines of command is a matrix organization, and disbanding after achieving a goal is a project organization.
