What is an organization structure?


An organization structure (or org structure) refers to the way in which an organization arranges its employees, departments, and functions to achieve its goals. It provides a framework for how work is organized, how communication flows, and how decisions are made.


Having a well-defined organizational structure helps everyone in the company understand their roles and responsibilities, and it helps the company work more efficiently and effectively.




A typical org structure consists of the following:

1. Legal Entity:  Legal entities refer to the different companies or subsidiaries that make up an organization.

2. Business units:  Business units refer to the different divisions or departments within each legal entity. 

3. Locations: Locations refer to the physical locations where your organization operates.

4. Departments:  Departments refer to the different functional areas within each business unit.
