Divisional Structure

SSarasi5y ago
Hi, With the divisional structure, is it possible to operate financial function centrally, while other function such as HR, Sales ad Purchase operate decentrally? For example,Product X and Y has their own HR, Purchase and Sales departments while the Finance function looks after both X and Y. Could you please describe this? Thank you Sarasi

Yes, that is very possible. Similarly a company could have one IT department looking after several divisions. The name for this type of arrangement is 'shared services' ie all departments can share use of a single source of expertise and resources. Sorry for the delay in replying.
