Abstract

When your activities are spread widely around the globe, it is all the more important to organize them properly. Who manages which part? Who should report to whom and what are their exact responsibilities? How are units related to the company headquarters and the other units? What is the relationship of staff to line managers? Are responsibilities based on a geographic region, a product line, or a function? Does this responsibility count for the whole of the organization, the European part or just the home country? This is what organization charts are supposed to handle: they ‘draw the lines’ within and across the organization.
