What you\u2019ll learn to do:\u00a0explain how organizational structure contributes to the achievement of each organization's mission<\/h2>\r\n\"Black-and-white<\/a>\r\n\r\nOrganizing is an important but sometimes overlooked function of managers. The way\u00a0an organization is structured determines how tasks are assigned, who reports to whom,\u00a0what processes are in place to resolve customer concerns and complaints, and, most important, it designates\u00a0the manager's\u00a0span of control<\/em>. \u00a0The best organizations build\u00a0their structure (organization) around their mission, goals, and objectives, while others allow the company to grow in multiple directions, letting it assume whatever shape the environment encourages. Just as\u00a0there is no one-size-fits-all legal structure for business, you will learn in this section that there is no one-size-fits-all organizational structure. The expression\u00a0\"form follows function\" applies as much to business as it does to bike racks and art.\r\n
