Match List-I with List-II
| List-I (Structure) | List-II (Advantage/Disadvantage) |
|---|---|
| (A) Advantage of Functional Structure | (I) It facilitates expansion and growth |
| (B) Disadvantage of Divisional Structure | (II) It may lead to problems in coordination |
| (C) Disadvantage of Functional Structure | (III) It may lead to increase in costs since there may be a duplication |
| (D) Advantage of Divisional Structure | (IV) It leads to minimal duplication of effort |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
A functional structure groups similar jobs together, so its advantage is minimal duplication of effort (IV), while its disadvantage is coordination problems across functions (II). A divisional structure facilitates expansion and growth as new divisions can be added (I), but may increase costs due to duplication of activities across divisions (III). Hence (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).
