I will make the divisional chart and explain divisional organization structure.
Scenario #1:You own a new resort on a small Caribbean island that is scheduled to open the following year. Draw up an organizational chart for your new venture. Draw up an organizational chart for your new venture, describe the type of structure and explain why it is appropriate.

Functional Structure
FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE
In a functional structure, employees are organized around specific knowledge or other resources.* Employees that specialize in certain areas will be grouped into their areas of expertise. The functional structure produces pools of specialized talents that is beneficial to the company as a whole. There are several different departments to the resort and those department positions will be filled with employees that specialize in those areas. (Example: An employee that specializes in bookkeeping and has some human resource training would not be placed in the human resources department, but rather in the Accounting department.)

STRUCTURE APPROPRIATENESS
This structure is appropriate for this new resort because all of the different departments working together will be what makes our resort successful. In our new resort, we have the front office, the food and beverage area, facilities, security, human resources, and accounting departments. When the ads are placed and we begin to hire employees, we will specifically hire persons that have experience and special knowledge in those specified areas. This is a new resort and we need to hit the ground running, we can’t expect start a business with employees that have no experience or knowledge. For example, our customer service has to be impeccable, and this will make travelers want to return. If we have someone at the front desk that is unaware of how important customer service is in a resort, it will definitely kill the business.
