As businesses grow large, I think divisional structure is unavoidable...
...because the very senior management is not able to manage the whole business as one entity,...
...they need to put it into silos.
Having said that there is a risk that...
...when division barriers grow too strong there isn't cross-fertilisation.
Indeed, indeed.
Actually when the business has not grown that much,...
...when it is in the first years of the company...
...I would encourage actually a division because the entrepreneur,...
...the founder of the company if you will,...
...has always the temptation to do everything by himself,...
...and is quite passionate about.
It is his child essentially, so he always wants to do everything by himself.
It is a nice safeguard actually...
...to have a very disciplined division of competencies inside a company.
