The first is a large manufacturer of electrical equipment whose products range from aircraft engines to toasters. The second is a publisher whose books cover everything from art to zoos. Since the electrical manufacturer's products are so diverse, it may organize its cells around products, as shown in Fig. 10-2(a), with different cells for the toaster group and the jet engine group. Each cell would contain the design, manufacturing, and marketing people, on the grounds that people marketing jet engines need more contact with people manufacturing jet engines than they do with people marketing toasters. Fig. 10-2. (a) Two cells organized by product. (b) Three cells organized by function. In contrast, the publisher would probably organize the cells as in Fig. 10-2(b) because manufacturing (i.e., printing and binding) a book on art is pretty much like manufacturing a book on zoos, so the differences between the departments are probably more significant than the differences between the products ...» | Код для вставки книги в блог HTML
