What does it mean to arrange the field offices of the federal executive branch by function? From your perspective, does either contribute to challenges associated with coordination of executive branch functions?
What will be an ideal response?
The United States has chosen the functional system to arrange its field offices. A functional system of field administration means that the functionally specialized departments and bureaus can choose the geographical and authority patterns they deem appropriate for their particular responsibilities. This system contrasts sharply with the areal or prefectoral field–administration system that many other nations have adopted.
