Document Summary

Network organizational structure helps visualize both internal and external relationships between managers and top-level management. They are not only less hierarchical but are also more decentralized and more flexible than other structures. The idea behind the network structure is based on social networks. Its structure relies on open communication and reliable partners; both internal and external. The network structure is viewed as agiler than other structures because it has few tires, more control and bottom flow of decision making. Using a network organizational structure is sometimes a disadvantage because of its complexity. The below example of network org chart shows the rapid communication between entities. Network organizational structure chart drawn with creately: divisional structure. Within a divisional structure, each organizational function has its own division which corresponds to either products or geographies. Each division contains the necessary resources and functions needed to support the product line and geography. Another form of divisional org chart structure is the multi-divisional structure.
