I feel as though each organizational structure has its own strengths and weaknesses; however, depending on the size or needs of the company one structure may be more advantageous than the others. For example, a functional organization may prove adequate for a small company who doesn’t have many employees and therefore, it can use this organization without much issues with forming information silos and coordinating projects between departments. It almost works like a project-based organization which would probably lend its usefulness to a larger company. Finally, the matrix organization may prove more useful for a massive company this type of organizations tends to lend itself to larger bodies of people. Overall, I don’t believe there is a “best” organization type, but simply organization types that are best for a given situation and their effectiveness will be based on this situation.
