What Are The Advantages Of Organisation Structure?

I imagine the short answer is... you can get stuff done? Any organisation with more than one person will need a plan of hierachy in order that a single vision can be followed and delivered to fruition and beyond.

However, it would be prudent to allow for free feedback and conversation throughout the infrastructure. Whilst most businesses follow a kind of... cascading format (with upper management, middle... etc. with little room for the little people to have their say) and are successful, the most effective types are usually where a more liberal structure is encouraged. To allow for ideas and the organisations people to flourish individually and socially within and outside the business/organisation. It creates a positive feedback loop.

The irony is that an infrastructure that allows for this type of freedom needs to be more rigorously managed than without it (hence why it's usually simpler to go with a 'you do what I pay you to do' ethos)
