The British Academy for Training and Development offers a course on Modern Models in the Preparation of Organizational Structures and Job Description. This course is designed for those who wish to acquire high-level managerial skills and gain expertise in preparing organizational structures.

Organizational structures determine how tasks are divided among employees, the official coordination channels, and the hierarchy of leadership. An organizational structure organizes relationships within an institution, defines responsibilities, and comes in several types. The functional structure groups every specialized function into one department, such as having a single financial department, a single engineering department, a single warehouse department, and a single maintenance department. A disadvantage of this system is its lack of flexibility, poor inter-departmental relationships, and a long management hierarchy, meaning there are many management levels. The advantage of this system, however, is its cost-effectiveness.
There is also the divisional structure, which groups employees who are specialized in a specific product or service into one division. It's worth noting that this system may sometimes maintain some of the original departments.

The organizational structure is the backbone of an institution, affecting its success or failure. It helps organizations adapt to external factors such as market changes, economic shifts, and technological advancements. At the same time, it reflects the cohesion of internal relationships within the organization, including the relationships between supervisors, subordinates, and colleagues.
