How deep can organizations be nested in units?
Beginning at middle size many companies are split into separate business units.
Is there any limit in nesting company/unit/department?
How are teams with members belonging to different units handled?
Are those members internal or external?
Example:
Company X
- unit central management
- units for local management and run
- unit IT
- unit maintenance
- unit ...
Company wants to build a new location, almost any existing unit is involved in planning and implementation:
For brainstorming each unit for local management is envolved at multiple stages of planning at least, later on not absolutely required. Central management, IT, maintenance and other units are always required (be it for information only or active work or validation of budget only).
