This assignment focuses on five of the seven organizational structures presented in the Chapter 15: FUNCTIONAL, DIVISIONAL, MATRIX, HORIZONTAL, and VIRTUAL. Indicate which one of them you believe best matches your particular preferences and personality. Then describe the other four structures using three sentences or less for each, capitalizing the type (FUNCTIONAL, DIVISIONAL, etc.) at least once.
For the structure you select, write at least one paragraph describing it in a way that differentiates it from the others. In the following paragraph(s), indicate why this structure appeals most to you and what contingency factors you have taken into account. Be sure to include the particular benefit(s) the structure offers over some or all of the others, the types of companies or markets for which it is most appropriate, and also the type of environment (dynamic, stable, etc.) most suitable for that chosen organizational structure (also highlighted in CAPS).
