Flexibility and initiative are promoted by divisional structure.
Note on divisional structure of an organization:
The divisional structure is a type of organizational structure that groups each organizational function into a division. These divisions can correspond to either products or geographies. Each division contains all the necessary resources and functions within it to support that product line or geography (for example, its own finance, IT, and marketing departments). A multidivisional form (or "M-form") is a legal structure in which one parent company owns subsidiary companies, each of which uses the parent company's brand and name. The divisional structure is useful because failure of one division doesn't directly threaten the other divisions. In the multidivisional structure, the subsidiaries benefit from the use of the brand and capital of the parent company. Disadvantages of divisional structure can include operational inefficiencies from separating specialized function. For the multidivisional structure, disadvantages can include increased accounting and taxes.
