OVERVIEW

Do you want to gain a deeper understanding of the hierarchy and decision-making processes within different organisational structures? In this interactive video, we will explore the two main types of structures found in workplaces worldwide: tall (sometimes known as hierarchical) and flat structures. We'll analyse the benefits and drawbacks of each and demonstrate how an organisational chart represents the structure of a business.

We'll examine Getaways, a UK-based luxury holiday retailer operating exclusively online, to learn more about organisational structures. We'll look at how each member fits into the organisational chart and understand how a flat structure has fewer layers of management, while a tall structure has many.

By the end of the video, you'll have a deep understanding of the two main types of organisational structures found in the workplace, and their respective benefits and drawbacks. You'll also be able to analyse organisational charts better and understand how each member fits into the structure of a business. So get ready to learn about organisational structures and take your business skills to the next level!

  • The interactive case study explores the success story of Valve, a game developer and digital distribution platform, which has a unique flat organisational structure with no job titles or managers. Instead, employees can choose which projects to work on and have the responsibility of securing funding and building their own teams. Despite this unconventional structure, Valve has achieved significant success and growth, with an estimated net worth of around 4 billion dollars as of 2020.
