Carrefour has a hierarchical structure with a more functional managerial organizational structure.
Javier Campo
Their organization is such that the CEO or chairman is the top person in the hierarchy. Below him sits Director of DIA International
the CFO, the Director of Organization and Systems and the Director of Merchandise and Marketing.
The CFO exists between the CEO and the functional divisions. Beyond the functional divisions lies
the directors for each specific global zone or region for which Carrefour is located. As well as a Jean-Francois Domont
Director of Europe Nations
director for each zone they have what they refer to as the expanded committee which consists of (excluding. France & Spain)
directors of specific nations or subsidiaries.

This organizational structure works very efficiently for Carrefour. It delegates, to the major functions Leon Salto
of the large corporation, the abilities to handle all of the necessary business dealing requested by each Director of France
separate division. Allowing each function to know the dealings of each division allows them to
compare better how each division is performing compared to the other divisions. This also allows for a Alfonso Merry Del Val
more standardized means of coordinating the functions of each division, limiting confusion and Director of Spain
overlapping responsibilities. Carrefour has several types of “products” (stores) and is located in over
20 countries, which would make a divisional structure very complex.
