1.This site describes Proctor & Gamble's overall corporate structure, which is acknowledged to be one of the best for combining the efficiencies of central product management with the responsiveness of regional marketing organizations. Entirely product-driven companies often suffer from the effects of strong product divisions demanding that their products be sold in international markets, even if they are less than suitable. Overly strong marketing organizations will clamor for a multitude of different products for small markets, resulting in a loss of economies of scale and efficiency and an inability to prioritize products and markets. P&G's structure, like many successful international organizations, attempts to matrix products with markets to attain a balance.
