    Traditional View
    Hierarchical structure
    commands pass down to
    the subordinate while
    information flows upward
    to the superiors. This
    cannot go vice versa, at
    least, ideally.

    This can be flattened, in


    which information can
    flow horizontally,
    however, the basic rule
    still applies.
    Organization Dynamics

    Organizations need to be creative in order to survive. To


    do this, the management has to create conditions where
    the organization can learn and develop.
    ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

    An organization structure is the way the organization


    allocates its resources towards meeting its strategic aims.

    There is no single structure that is best for every company


    and for every period in its operation.
