Answer

Divisional Organizational Structure

A divisional structure organizes an enterprise into semi-autonomous units based on products, regions, or customers. Each division operates independently with its own functional departments (Marketing, Finance, Production) and is headed by a Divisional Manager who reports to the top management. This structure allows for specialized focus and faster decision-making within each unit.
