Org, structure defn can be different for different industries, but in general it can be defined as mentioned below.

Org. Structure is:

You use the organizational structure to represent and process

disciplinary assignments, remuneration flows and statistical aggregations.

As asked by you 1 example for this is:

In an insurance company, the organizational structure models the

hierarchical picture of an organization (generally sales and distribution), in particular for

the derivation of overriding commissions.

One more definition for Org. Structure which can throw more light in understanding this is:

"A hierarchy in which the organizational units in an enterprise are arranged according to tasks and functions.

The organizational structure differs from the administrative enterprise or personnel structure, whose

structural elements are relevant to payroll accounting and accounting."

Please mark thread as answered if you get satisfactory answer.
