    Geographic organizational structure is used by organizations with many business locations. This structure defines a reporting and functional system across multiple locations, allowing each office to operate individually while adhering to company policies. Each geographic location is overseen by executives and may report directly to top executives or to executives who oversee several locations, depending on the organization's size. Industries like retail, transportation, and manufacturing commonly use geographic structure to oversee operations across different places.

    Function
    A geographic organizational structure defines a reporting and functional system
    across multiple locations. This type of structure allows an organization's offic
    es to operate individually while adhering to company policies and values. Office
    locations can be local, national or international.

    Reporting Structure
    Depending on the size of the organization, each geographic location may report t
    o an executive who oversees several locations or it may report directly to top e
    xecutives who are located at the main office of the organization. The reporting
    structure is based on the size of the organization and its industry.
    Industries
    Geographic organizational structure is used mainly in industries like retail and
    hotel chains, transportation and other large national and international organiz
    ations. Manufacturing organizations with several plants in different geographica
    l locations may choose to operate using a geographic structure.
    Geography
    Geographic organizational structure allows for each business unit or office to o
    perate as its own entity based on where it's located. Many organizations may exp
    erience more or less business opportunity in different places. This can increase
    or decrease financial budgets, revenues, the number of employees at the locatio
    n and their salaries. An area's cost of living may also play a factor in the ove
    rall operations at each location.
