Answer: Departments are the entities organizations form to organize people, reporting relationships, and work in a way that best supports the accomplishment of the organization's goals. Departments are usually organized by functions such as human resources, marketing, administration, and sales.
But, a department can be organized in any way that makes sense for the customer. Departments can also be organized by customer, by product, or by region of the world. Departments are usually led by a Manager, a Supervisor, a Director, or a Vice President.
