The document discusses different types of organizational structures including Mintzberg's types, entrepreneurial, functional, divisional, matrix, and geographical structures. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each type. Entrepreneurial structures allow for fast decision making but lack career structure. Functional structures provide economies of scale but can result in conflicts between departments. Divisional structures enable growth but can lead to sub-optimization. Matrix structures provide benefits of both functional and divisional forms but can cause dual command and conflict issues.
