This study examines the FMU organization through the current organizational structure. There are similarities in the organizational structure of FMU indicated through the division of labor, authority, span of control and division of the department. However, there are differences in the classification of departmentalizing types. The differences are caused by differences in local conditions, aswell as the potential for each policy in research location.
