One of the disadvantages in a functional organizational is that in larger organizations, there could be a difference of communication and priority between each of the different departments. Especially since each department has different goals and timelines, and according to Dess et al., (2014, p. 314), the use of common terminology may also be different, and make for poor communication.
Please explain how a manager could improve communications between departments within a functional organizational structure without significantly disrupting the functionality of the organization or departments?
