Two central issues in organization structure are vertical and horizontal differentiation.

• Identify the major types of organizational structures and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each for international operations.

• Explain the meaning of horizontal differentiation, and analyze its possible implications to how managers design their company's structure.
