    There are three main types of organizational structures: functional, divisional, and matrix. A functional structure groups employees by specialized function and has only vertical reporting relationships. A divisional structure groups employees by product, service, customer or geography. A matrix structure superimposes horizontal project teams onto the traditional vertical structure to facilitate collaboration across functions for specific goals.
