Assignment:
Several types of international organizational structures are listed (i.e. matrix, export, international division, etc). For this assignment, you are to research a real global company and report on which of these structures it has and why. What are the benefits of this type of structure for this company? Which of these areas/units are specific to being global? How does this structure tie into its product/service? Where is the control in the company?
A company's website and annual report are good resources for this information. For example Nestle (www.nestle.com) has company information on the "about us" page on their website. (Please do not use this company for your paper or companies that are listed as examples in the text). Use a company that is large enough to supply this type of information.
Papers should be 3 to 4 pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and must reflect APA guidelines - at minimum a title page, reference page and in-text citations must be included. A minimum of two references are required.
