and therefore the appropriate organizational structure , which supposes one strong coordination centre or head office and many holding companies worldwide , which belongs to the parent company , but have much autonomy Such organizational structure allows both to hire people that best suit given position regardless of the country of origin , as well as control all the major processes within the whole organization worldwide

B . Organizational design

Different department that exist within the organization determine the functional organizational structure of the company . It means that DuPont has different units that are specialized on different professional areas within single organization (marketing , finance , production etc . This kind of design suits best for the multinational company , since it allows concentrating effort on specific areas and attract people from different countries where DuPont operates to work in specific fields where they are best qualified at . Moreover , departmentalization also determines the geocentrical approach to management as well , since it is more reasonable to delegate authority to separate department to hold specific marketing campaign or financial resources rather than one parent company worldwide
