The video covers 3 types of organisational structure; hierarchical structure, flat structure and matrix structure. They are all shown in the form of an organisational chart.
Businesses use organisational structures to illustrate job roles and responsibilities. Organisational structures show who each employee reports to in their job and depending on an organisation’s size, vision and requirements, the structure type will vary. In this video we cover 3 types of organisational structure, the features of those structures along with some advantages and disadvantages of using that particular structure.
There are a few key words that are important to understand before looking at an organisational chart. These are;
Span of control. This is the number of employees that a manager has responsibility for
Chain of command . The route by which instructions and communications flow from the top to the bottom of the business, it shows who answer to who
Subordinates. This is basically members of staff that work for a manager, they under that managers span of control and are below them in the chain of command.
The video covers each of these in detail and is great for GCSE revision or A level and BTEC business.

To be honest. I just sat in a 2 hour uni sitting of my management class, my lector did such a bad job explaining. I could have skipped the 2 hours. This video explained it way quicker and more efficiently. Thanks.

This is very helpful the explanation was clear and understandable
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate you letting us know :)
Thank you. Your video helped me with a good understanding on an academic midterm assignment worth 40% of my grade.
Glad it helped, that's great to hear and well done!
Solid video!
Organisation and Structure essentially imply the same thing, but on their own are too generic. So instead of using Business, Company etc, which are also generic terms, we have this not very helpful combination of two words.
The video states that Organisational Structure is how a business organizes its employees, as in an Organisational Chart, which is a big problem. Just imagine driving around by not paying attention to the road and traffic.
Todays businesses are about processes, people and technology doing what matters and should be organised around the idea of Flow.
Thanks, what a solid comment too!
Very clear and straight forward. Thank you
Thank you for the feedback. It is really appreciated 👍
very well explained 👍
Thank you, that means a lot 😃
These videos are so useful!! Do you have a specific exam board that you base your videos on?
Thank you. Sometimes we concentrate on one specific exam board but usually we try and cover as many bases as possible 😁
This is similar too ocr

@@TwoTeachers Sir, Can you do Balance Matrix Organizational Structure, Please?
Very clear, understandable presentation. It is just what I needed for illustration for my students. I like the accent very much! Manchester?
Brilliant, glad we could help out. We are from Sheffield 😁. Are you based in the UK?
Hi,
Do you know how organisational structures can affect leadership styles?
If you have a flat structure then it is likely that the manager gets involved more and is more hands on. By nature this will mean that they are more democratic. If the organisation has many levels then it is likely that the higher up the managers are the more likely they are to be authoritarian. We have a video on leadership styles that may help you out. Basically though it will depend on the culture of the organisation and the individual. 😀
@@TwoTeachers
I watched the video but it is not saying how organisational culture can affect leadership style…so how can organisational culture affect leadership styles?
Well explained, thank you. It is just a pitty that the music is very distracting and it keeps going over and over again.
We have lowered/eliminated the music Ian our more recent videos 👍
Hi, does someone know what is NHS' organisational structure?
Not too sure to be honest. I would guess Hierarchical due to its size. But without being in the NHS I’m not certain. 👍
hello two teachers can i join you and be a 3rd teacher i understand business
Hmmmm.... what would we be called?
Three Teachers
Hey can uh help me .... ? I need to contact uh will you please share your no.?@Luqman
ha,ha
lets be three teachers
Ahh three teachers, I like the sound of that, ha.
can i ask, is hierarchel the same as tall structre
Yes that's right 👍
Damn is that two teachers
Sam Smith omg sam
It sure is Sam 👍
May i ask if what is the three important things to be consider in understanding organizational structure?
Asap please.
The chain of command, the size of the organisation and how it impacts culture. They are important considerations. Thanks for watching 👍
Is it similar to functional, projectized and matrix organisation?
I believe they are more related to organisation types. So functional is where the business is managed around its functional areas I.e. HR, marketing and finance. Projectized is centred around various projects with a project manager and in this case matrix is a mix of the two. Hope this helps a bit 😀
@@TwoTeachers great...understood...thanks...
Could you please do a video on organizational charts?
Thanks but the music is a bit distracting, could you lower it next time ? Thanks again
You're welcome, we will have words with the dj, see if we can sort this out 😉
@@TwoTeachers hi, is centralised organisational structure the same as tall structure?
Why do we need an organizational structure?
Great question, without one it’s likely that there would be chaos in the workplace as no one would have formal responsibility for decisions or the management of people who work for the business. It’s very important to organise the workforce and enforce lines of communication etc.
@@TwoTeachers thank you so much.verry well said sir and a lot of your vidios is a part of my course class.God bless you
@@laniecanlas6726 you’re welcome, great to hear you found it useful 👍
Mr Seymour sent me here because I didn’t listen :))
Say thank you to Mr Seymour for us 👍
Been sent here to help with an assignment, useless
How about adding some numbers to this- by way of illustration?
In the classic hierarchy shown there are 13 "managers" of 48 people (27% by my math).
They will be paid higher salaries and perhaps get additional perks (healthcare and pensions).
They may also get offices, computers, software, gourmet coffee and a parking place near the door.
Adding all this together, the admin/management team my represent 35-45% of the labour costs of the organisation.
This is a heavy burden that must be paid for by the productive workers doing more.
How is this different for your flat structure? What are the numbers/proportions involved here?
The big difference in a small organisation is that often the upper management retain a productive role (like sales for example).
This makes them only a partial burden on the productive workers as they are still "adding value".
Of particular note is the fact that when managers are also responsible for sales, they communicate directly with the marketplace (clients/users).
This saves a good deal of communication internally as the management has their "ear to the ground".
The remaining communication will be internal, as the management must be aware of the changing circumstances within and throughout their organisation.
Also feedback is important for them as a way to confirm their instructions have carried out properly and completely (or not).
It is easier for such a hands-on team to maintain "situational awareness", something that is key to them making good planning decisions (strategy and tactics).
The video talks about passing instructions from top to bottom, but fails to take into account the communication from bottom to top.
This communication is critical to maintaining situational awareness -particularly in a larger organisation where the management may have little contact with clients/users, little contact with the coal face and little contact across the various separate functions of the organisation.
Maintaining situational awareness in these circumstances requires high bandwidth communications; something that is an additional burden on the organisation (like MRPII & SAP).
This is a non trivial problem that every organisation must adequately resolve in their organisational model.
Matrix management is an example of a "fix" to the inherent problem of scaling hierarchies. -Note, it is easy to know which manager to pay most attention to in a matrix management organisation; it is always the manager of your function. It is they who are permanent and they who will be in control of your reviews, salary and career progress.
Some excellent points there Julian, with knowledge like that you should look at creating some videos yourself!
Ha! Yes, I take your point. Its easy to criticise, less easy to make a perfect video. I agree. I wish I knew where to start. I meant my comments as a positive contribution not as a criticism. In my defence I have tried to do something- I've successfully redesigned an organisation to be first self managing and then self leading, then wrote a book about it. But again, UA-cam is still something I've not yet set foot in.
plz post direct link to the study sheet.
Hi, the direct link is in the UA-cam video description already 👍
you guys missed the second "A" out in manager. You guys put manager as "Manger"
Thanks for letting us know. By the way you missed the capital ‘Y’ at the start of your sentence and a full stop at the end of your sentence. 🎣
❤❤❤😅😅😅😅
😁👍

no cap even tho i got a cap on
M N O P Q
Me too
Pls stop playing music in the background when doing these videos. It's makes communication ineffective and disrupts the listening process.
Ok 👍
