After reading the materials related to the basic ways organizations are structured (functional, divisional, matrix, horizontal, hollow, modular, and virtual) in Chapter 17 of our textbook, respond to the following:

Identify and describe how one of the basic organizational structures was either successful or unsuccessful at your present or former organization, or an organization you are familiar with.

What were the key factors for determining the level of success or failure for this structure?

Select a different basic organizational structure for the organization you identified above and predict its level of success or failure. Explain your rationale.
