Answer to Question 1

A functional structure is a design that groups people into separate functions or departments because they share common skills and expertise because they make use of the same resources.
The advantages of a functional structure are:
1. It provides people with the opportunity to learn from one another and become more specialized and productive.
2. People who are grouped together by common skills can supervise one another and control one another's behavior.
3. People in a function who work closely with one another over extended time periods develop norms and values that allow them to become more effective at what they do.
