regional divisions  

Definition

  • A regional division is a multinational firm's organizational structure by which the primary division of the firm is by a small number of geographic regions. For example, an insurance firm may be primarily divided into four regional divisions (Americas, Africa/Middle East, Asia/Pacific, Europe), and each of these divisions may then contain various product, market, and country structures.
