the chain of command

The division of labour:the horisontal coordination or 

the work specialization

Work SpecializationWork Specialization

 Authority flows down the vertical hierarchy.

Tall versus Flat StructureTall versus Flat Structure

Span of control used in an organization

determines whether the structure is tall or 

flat.

Tall structure has a narrow span and morehierarchical levels.

Flat structure has a wide span, is horizontally

dispersed and fewer hierarchical levels.

The trend has been toward wider spans of 

control.

Flat Organizational StructureFlat Organizational Structure

Flat organizations have few levels of 

hierarchy. Lines of communication are

short, making the firm responsive to

change. A wide span of control means

that tasks must be delegated and

managers can feel overstretched.

OrganisationsOrganisations

Workers may have more than one manager/boss.

May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation

Structure limited to small organisations such as

partnerships, co-operatives and some private

limited companies.

blurred and merge into the job roles of others.

Advantages of tallAdvantages of tall

OrganisationsOrganisations

There is a narrow span of control ie each

manager has a small number of employees

under their control. This means that

employees can be closely supervised.

There is a clear management structure.

The function of each layer will be clear and

distinct. There will be clear lines of responsibility and control.

Clear progression and promotion ladder

Disadvantages of tallDisadvantages of tall

OrganisationsOrganisations

The freedom and responsibility of employees

(subordinates) is restricted.

Decision making could be slowed down as approval

may be needed by each of the layers of authority. Communication has to take place through many

layers of management.

High management costs because managers are

generally paid more than subordinates. Each layer 

will tend to pay its managers more money than the

layer below it.
