  7. Class debate: Flat vs. Traditional You are competing teams of management consultants, vying for the business of a new company looking to design its management structure. One team will lobby for a traditional structure, the other a flat on. You each have 25 minutes to research and assemble your case before presenting it as a group. Traditional – If flat structures are so great, why are so many organisations still using a traditional structure? Research what benefits a traditional structure can bring and why a flat structure isn’t for everyone. Flat– It’s all the rage and for good reason (right?). Figure out the arguments for adopting this management structure and present them to beat the traditional team to the contract. Identify what is wrong with the traditional structure and how flat structures address these problems.
