Here we go again – more on org charts<\/a>! I did walk you through some of the different organization structures<\/strong> in our previous post<\/a>, if you haven’t seen the post, go read it<\/a>! And now, I’ll take you through 3 more organization structural types.<\/p>\n

The holding company structure<\/h4>\n

You probably know what a holding company is? However, if you begin to wonder what this is, here’s a little description. Holding company is an investment company consisting of shareholdings in a variety of separate business operations. These business operations may operate independently although they are a part of the parent company.<\/p>\n

A holding company structure<\/a> is based on the idea that the constituent businesses will operate their product strategy to their best potential if left alone, particularly as business environments become more turbulent. This structure may claim benefits, such as the spreading of risk across many business ventures and the ease of divestment of individual companies. Perhaps the greatest weaknesses of this structure are the lack of internal strategic cohesion and duplication of effort between businesses.<\/p>\n
