Several important questions center on the organization of marketing resources. Design choices are faced in the centralization or decentralization of the marketing organization, and the integration of diffusion of responsibility of marketing tasks. No one way of structuring matches all situations, and important contingent factors surround this design choice. Within marketing resource groups, the major structural choices are between functional, product, market or matrix designs. Consideration must also be given to the identification of new marketing roles and specializations as the role of marketing evolves in a company. One major issue is partnership, both internally, for example in venture marketing organizations, but also externally in working with marketing partners. In some cases, the networked organization will be an important development.
