Flat Structure Organisation Arguments

⇐ ПредыдущаяСтр 4 из 4

In contrast to a tall organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few layers or just one layer of management. This means that the “Chain of Command” from top to bottom is short and the “span of control is wide”. Due to the small number of management layers, flat organisations are often small organisations. However, this does not mean that larger organisations cannot

Advantages of flat Organisations	Disadvantages of flat Organisations
More/Greater communication between management and workers.	Workers may have more than one manager/boss.
Better team sprit.	May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation.
Less bureaucracy and easier decision making.	Structure limited to small organisations such as partnerships, co-operatives and some private limited companies.
Fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs as managers are generally paid more than worker.	Function of each department/person could be blurred and merge into the job roles of others.

In the 2007/08 State of the Service Report it states:

“There is a growing need for APS agencies to be able to demonstrate that they are capable of working across organisational boundaries and in partnership with a range of organisations in order to devise and implement policies that tackle complex policy issues effectively. As these issues cross organisational boundaries and go beyond the capacity of any one agency to understand and respond to, they require an APS response that is more innovative and flexible than the traditional linear approaches to policy making that have operated in the past. Business as usual will not be effective in the coming decades.”

What I am proposing is consistent with fixing this problem.
