  4. What is an Organisational Structure? • Shows how RESPONSIBILITIES in a business are DIVIDED up amongst different departments and people. • It shows people INSIDE and OUTSIDE of the business the different job roles for all employees. • It shows who is RESPONSIBLE for who.

  5. Why Bother? • Helps to bring order to the business • Helps new employees • Helps people outside of the business

  9. Tall or Flat? This is dependant upon the number of layers the organisation has

  10. T.P.S What are the advantages of each structure, tall and flat?

  11. Flat Communication is quicker Fewer people in the layers, so less mistakes People at bottom can feel involved with those at the top Tall Lines of communication and responsibilities are clear Span of control is smaller Opportunity for promotion Advantages

  12. Span of Control? • The person that a worker is responsible to is their LINE MANAGER. • The workers that someone is responsible for are known as their SUBORDINATES. • Span of Control – the number of subordinates that a line manager is DIRECTLY responsible for.

  13. De-layering • De-layering is the removal of layers from the organisation chart, what would be the benefit of this? Saves money Empowers remaining staff
