The empirical study that was conducted included a sample of 51 companies in the territory of Western Serbia. Their business practices identified the existence of a statistically significant and strong correlation between organizational structure and the determinants of supply chain management efficiency. Within the conducted research, specialization and decentralization stand out as the elements with the greatest impact on improving the quality of products/services, shortening delivery times, resolving complaints more efficiently and reducing costs of the supply chain. The results of the study indicate that delegating competencies and responsibilities within a company, along with motivating staff to become more committed to and influence the activities they perform, is a key organizational prerequisite for establishing an efficient supply chain management, which is one of the key qualitative indicators of any company's market and business success. eng Mijušković, Veljko Todorović Spasenić, Ana
