What is an organisational structure?
Organisational structure refers to the levels of management and division of responsibilities within a business, which could be presented in an organisational chart. For simpler businesses in which the owner employs only himself, there is no need for an organisational structure. However, if the business expands and employs other people, an organisational structure is needed. Any operating organization should have its own structure in order to operate efficiently.

Adidas organisational structure
This type of structure combines the traditional departments seen in functional structures with project teams. In a matrix structure, individuals work across teams and projects as well as within their own department or function.
For example, a project or task team established to develop a new product might include design specialists as well as those with marketing, financial, personnel and production skills.
This can be clearly seen from adidas matrix structure which shows three projects ( mi adidas, adidas original and adidas performance) and how they all have connections to the different functional departments.
These teams can be temporary or permanent depending on the tasks they are asked to complete. Each team member can find himself/herself with two managers - their normal functional manager as well as the team leader of the project.
