ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

Organisational Structure

The type of structure depends on its primary objectives and strategic approach to the industry

Functional, Divisional, Matrix and Hybrid

Permasteelisa uses a matrix structure

Permasteelisa employs about 70 staff in Australia

Organisational Structure - Advantages High outputs with limited personnel

Rotation of sources

Permasteelisa – 5 Projects Concurrently Same person used in more than 1 project Team leader is unique to each project (i.e. one

team leader for each project)Why?

Decentralised Management (Laslo, 2008) Faster communication

Standardised benchmarks are set by Permasteelisa Group Headquarters in Italy which form a basis of a goal and target for project maturity
