    The document describes 9 different types of organizational structures: line, flat, ad hoc, matrix, staff, shared governance, lateral, service line, and scalar chain. Line structures have authority flowing top-down, while flat structures eliminate middle management. Ad hoc structures are flexible and change frequently. Matrix structures have employees reporting to multiple managers. Staff structures address constraints of line structures. Shared governance gives operational decision-making to employees. Lateral structures coordinate work horizontally. Service line structures plan hospital performance around patient services. Scalar chain defines supervisory relationships from top to bottom.
