Types of Organizational Structure...

The thing, which is challenging more to a business, is the type of task on how to organize the people who are performing the work or a job in an organization.

1. Traditional Organizational Structures merely focus to the functions of a department within an organization. Included with it are the customs and bureaucratic procedures, which have defined by structures to be line-authority for all levels of management.

Two kinds of traditional structures:
• Line Structure defined as a chain of command from which the final approval on decisions comes from the operation officer of the organization, meaning from top to down management structure. A line structure by nature is informal which involves few departments controlling the organization that is decentralized into one top management authority.

• Line-and-Staff Structure is applicable because it always helps the organization to identify a set of guidelines for the people involving for completion of an organizational chart work. This type of structure combines the flow of data/information from the line structure with the staff departments that service, advice, and support them (Boone and Kurtz, 1993).

2. Business Organizational Structure is the area that covers the wide array of policies and rules governing the formation and operation of different kinds of entities by which individuals can organize to do business. Its term used to describe the entities themselves, the area of study examines issues such as how each major form of business entity may be formed, operated, and dissolved.
