3. STRUCTURE //
The organizational structure of DEKOM STEEL & COAL is a "Functional Divisional" model, designed to reflect the inner workings of our business. This structure is divided into specialized units, with departmentalization based solely on products and market segments. For instance, our product-based model assigns groups of employees to focus on steel, iron ore, coal, ferroalloys, and other categories.
Advantages of the Divisional Model:
Specialization and Responsiveness: Focusing on specific industrial areas enables us to quickly identify weaknesses and address challenges effectively.
Resilience to Innovation: Closing underperforming departments due to ongoing innovations does not disrupt other structural units.
Autonomy: Divisions and decision-makers enjoy a high degree of independence.
Enhanced Communication: Strong vertical and horizontal communication facilitates rapid adaptation to changes.
Project Integration:
In addition to our functional structure, DEKOM STEEL & COAL incorporates project curators, including external specialists under agency agreements, to manage sales and procurement activities. This system allows employees to report to multiple managers at the same level, fostering collaboration.
While functional managers hold decision-making authority, project managers influence outcomes to achieve optimal results.
Our business structure also provides a clear framework for identifying the competencies required for new hires. We ensure that all employees are well-informed about their career growth opportunities within DEKOM STEEL & COAL, fostering transparency and motivation.
