Hey, at least they didn't ask about holacracy. That would have been a real head-scratcher for a furniture manufacturer!

Divisional organization? For a small, non-expanding firm? That's overkill. I'm sticking with A, functional departmentalization.

Matrix organization? Really? That's way too complex for a 100-employee furniture shop. C is definitely not the right answer here.

I'm going with B) Product departmentalization. Organizing around the different furniture products makes sense for a manufacturing firm, even if it's small.

I think A) Functional departmentalization could also work, but B) Product departmentalization is probably more efficient.

A functional departmentalization structure seems like the best fit for this small furniture manufacturer with no plans to expand. It's a simple, straightforward way to organize the business.
