Professor Hardy and class,




An organization’s formal structure, or division of labor, defines the hierarchal configuration by

which it is meant to function (Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn, &Osborn, 2014). Tesla, Inc. uses

functional departmentation that groups individuals and teams by skills and knowledge in order to

strategically manage the organizations operations domestically as well as globally (Meyer,

2018). It also benefits from utilization of divisional departments that allow the organization to

adapt to external change and nurture highly specialized individuals (Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn,

&Osborn, 2014). The simultaneous use of both these formal structures indicates that Tesla, Inc.

uses matrix departmentation as its core formal structure, allowing for effective managerial

control over multiple diverse operations across many market segments (Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn,

&Osborn, 2014).
