Location Departmentalization
Location departmentalization
groups jobs on the
basis of defined geographic sites or areas. The defined sites or areas may range in size
from a hemisphere to only a few blocks of a large city. Transportation companies,
police departments (precincts represent geographic areas of a city), and the Federal
Reserve Bank all use location departmentalization. The primary advantage of location
departmentalization is that it enables the organization to respond easily to unique
customer and environmental characteristics in the various regions. On the negative
side, a larger administrative staff may be required if the organization must keep track
of units in scattered locations.
