The Organizational Structure

P&G's organizational structure is difficult to define because it does not perfectly match the book's options.  They have a form of divisional structure that allows them to think globally and act locally.    

Procter & Gamble have 2 Global Business Units that "focus solely on consumers, brands, and competitors around the world" (P&G.com).  The Market Development Organizations are responsible for knowing what the consumers want and what the competitors are doing in each segment of their business.  The Global Business Services provides business support services.  The Corporate Functions "ensure ongoing functional innovation and capability improvement" (P&G.com).  The main goal of this structure is to eliminate inefficiencies that are often present within large companies.
