This organisational structure is one of the most complex organisational structures. The main object for development of this structure was to complete a particular project or a special task. Hence, for this purpose, employees from different departments of the organisation work together temporarily. For eg. while developing a new product most of the experts from different fields are required like research and development, finance, engineering etc. this structure has no specific flow of authority. The subordinates may have more than one boss to report to e.g. functional manager and project manager.

To provide better oversight of the operations, it separates its various functions. Some of the main divisions of the company’s organisational structures are facilities, retail, research and development, networking and operations and support.

Eg. if there are three different product lines in an organisation, it would have three different or separate divisions for these product lines. Decision making powers are given to the division heads so that they can take effective decisions to respond to the change in their markets or area of responsibility quickly.
