 INTRODUCTION

A company's organizational structure is its set of rules for distributing authority, control and coordination tasks.

A company's structure can be defined as the set of mechanisms by which it allocates, organizes, coordinates and controls its activities.

A company's structure defines the hierarchical and functional relationships between its various employees: this involves the division of responsibilities and the way in which the company communicates internally.

The project-based structure is particularly well suited to companies with specific contracts to manage.

It's a flexible structure, allowing complex projects to be carried out by a number of in-house or external specialists.

This structure is by nature evolutionary.

The team is created at the start of the project when the customer's order is acquired.

The team disappears when the project is closed.

The project-based structure implies a double line of authority (hierarchical, permanent vertical, and that of the project manager, horizontal and temporary).
