4. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Nestl is a decentralized organization. The company is organized into seven worldwide strategic business units (SBUs) that have responsibility for high-level strategic decisions and business development. In recent years, two-thirds of Nestls growth has come from acquisitions, so this is a critical function. Nestle has a regional organization that divides the world into five major geographical zones, such as Europe, North America and Asia. Although Nestl makes intensive use of local managers to knit its diverse worldwide operations together, the company relies on its expatriate army of about 700 managers, who spend the bulk of their careers on foreign assignments, moving from one country to the next.
