Hi,
Can anyone send me a format of reporting structure and organizational structure? It's really urgent! I have an org structure, but there's a lot of difference between the organizational structure and reporting structure. Please help!

Hi Supriya,
Can anyone send me a format of reporting structure and organizational structure? It's really urgent!
I have an org structure, but there's a lot of difference between the organizational structure and reporting structure!
There are two types of reporting: administratively and functionally.
These terms are used in discussions of organizational structure and refer to who reports to whom or who supervises whom. You could report to someone administratively, functionally, or both.
Reporting to someone administratively means that person is your official supervisor, with formal responsibility to hire, train, evaluate, pay, and potentially fire you. This is sometimes referred to as hiring-and-firing authority.
If you report to someone functionally, it means the person is in a more senior role in your business function (for example, marketing, operations, HR, or sales) and is responsible for providing you with guidance and general direction on matters pertaining to your business function.
If you report administratively to someone who is also a senior manager of your function, you are reporting both administratively and functionally.
Let's take an example of adopting a functional management structure. If I am the human resources manager for a plant in Mumbai, I could report functionally and administratively to the vice president of HR at corporate offices and be responsible for supporting the plant manager in Mumbai with HR programs and processes. The plant manager would be my primary internal customer but would not have the authority to terminate or promote me.
While the difference between these two approaches may seem unimportant and easy to understand, organizational dynamics, such as power, influence, prestige, and accountability, can shift dramatically when a change is implemented from one reporting structure to the other.
Imagine the differences in organizational dynamics between the following two job descriptions:
Reports administratively to line management
Title: HR Manager
Reports to: Plant Manager
Responsibilities:
Develop and implement HR programs that support the business objectives of the Mumbai plant. Consult with corporate HR regarding corporate policies and programs.
Reports administratively to functional management
Title: HR Manager
Reports to: VP of HR
Responsibilities:
Provide the Mumbai plant with local HR support. Guide local managers in the effective implementation of corporate programs and policies.
In the organizational structure, administratively reporting is shown with a line and functionally reporting with a dotted line.
Hope this clears your doubt. If not, please feel free to ask for clarifications.

Hi Sujani Nair,
I am very confused about understanding the differences that exist in the HR organization structure in line/staff/functional/divisional and matrix organizations. Please help me understand these concepts with simple examples. Also, I would like to know if HR managers are line managers/staff managers. Do staff relationships exist internally in an HR department? This is a little urgent. A quick response would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sujani Nair
