• Functional Structure: Work and employees of the organization are divided by specialization of activity. So all professionals are part of the same function and report to a senior leader. Same with finance and operations professionals. 
• Divisional Structure: Work and employees are divided by output or another variable like geography. For example, a retail company might divide work and employees by product. 
• Matrix Structure: Work and employees of the organization are divided by function and output or another divisional variable. For example, a company might divide work and employees by function but also have them report to geographical managers.  
• Hollow Structure: Work and employees of the organization are divided by core and non-core competencies. Core competencies and processes are maintained internally, while non-core competencies and processes are outsourced. 
• Modular Structure: Work and employees of the organization are divided by core and non-core components of a product. Core components of the product are kept in-house, while non-core components are outsourced. For example, a sustainable clothing manufacturer may outsource the supply gathering of recycled materials but do the sewing, embroidery, and any other styling themselves.
