departmentalization

departmentalization
Gen Mgt
the division of an organization into sections. Departmentalization is usually based on operating function, and organizations will commonly have departments for, for example, finance, personnel, or marketing. Such organizational structure is typical of a bureaucracy. It may be used in centralization, when a particular activity is undertaken by one department in one location on behalf of the whole organization, but may equally be a feature of a decentralized organization, in which departments are used as individual operating units responsible for their own management.
