- Organisational Structures
- Tall (Hierarchical)
- Tall structures have many levels of hierarchy,
- The span of control is narrow and there is opportunities for promotion.
- There is a lack of communication between the layers
- Clear chain of communication and there is less responsibility placed on one person since there's so many layers
- Flat
- Flat structures have few levels of hierarchy
- The lines of communication are short, making the company responsive to change.
- There is a wide span of control which means that tasks must be delegated (shared) and the managers can feel overstretched with all the responsibility
- Matrix
- Unlike the Tall and Flat structures, the Matrix structure doesnt have a clear level of hierarchy.
- Within this structre it is shared responsibilty as the groups overlink with one another
- There isnt a clear chain of command since all the groups are linked together and it is hard to get promoted
- The line of communication is easier than in a Tall strusture
