Functional organization

We have already discuss some important factor for the organization and those are customer organization, control organization etc…Today we are going to discuss on functional organization which is most important part of any organization and it can useful for any small business. A functional organization can be characterized as giving staff managers line authority for a product, brand, or aspect of the salesman’s performance. Instead or one manager giving him orders, the salesman may have several. Herein lies two deterrents to the functional organization division of responsibility and conflict of interest.

With a functional organization, field sales gets the advantages of specialization. Market plans developed by product managers will carry line rather than advisory authority, thus materially increasing the odds for implementation. By narrowing the scope of the field sales manager’s job to primarily direction and control he can become more specialized. Organizing on the basis of job aspects such as marketing research, advertising, and sales analysis is not nearly as prevalent as it once was with the changing role of field sales as a function of marketing.
