    Here are three potential structures for a toy company with my conclusion on the best structure: 1. Functional structure organised by departments like production, marketing, finance, etc. 2. Divisional structure organised by product lines or toy categories. 3. Geographic structure organised by regions of the world or countries. In conclusion, I think the best structure would be a divisional structure organised by toy categories. This allows each division to focus specifically on their product needs while still benefiting from central functions. The advantages are specialisation and clear accountability. Disadvantages could be some duplication and potential for silos between divisions. Overall it provides the best balance for a toy company.
