Specialized training and involved management mean that standout employees are quickly recognized and placed where they will be most effective and managers are always on the lookout for helpful skills and ideas.
Disadvantages
The same qualities that lead to increased production and specialization lead to complicated communication and decision-making processes. Since the functional units are not accountable to each other and share decision-making power, the process is more bureaucratic and tends to take longer. While the flow of communication within a department is expedient, communication between departments and synchronization of work and project completion is more difficult to manage. Finally, too much focus leads employees to neglect the larger view of the company and its objectives.
