The four main types of this design are functional, divisional, matrix, and flat (or network-based) structures. A functional structure groups teams by specialization, such as marketing or finance. A divisional structure is based on products, regions, or markets. Matrix structures blend both functional and project-based elements. Flat or network-based models focus on minimal hierarchy and distributed decision-making. Each type has its own strengths, depending on the company’s size, goals, and industry.
