The analysis of Buckman Laboratories kind of departmentalization used to operate the business made me come to the conclusion that it is a Customer Departmentalization. It was a hard choice because the departmentalization type was very close to the functional departmentalization, for it because the company acts as a means to produce chemical products as well as a knowledge engine with K’netix.

No matter what department in the company, decision making processes are encouraged to anyone in any department. The thriving of becoming a business solely dedicated to providing an authentic customer service made me under the impression that the organization of this company would be mechanistic.
