I think the most common one that I see and am in is the hierarchy. Being a restaurant server I understood what you meant when you used the example. At my place, it feels like the hierarchy is busser, host, server, bartender, manager, GM. I think that I fit best into a team-based organizational structure though. Creating that common language helps me feel connected and invovled.
The miracle you gave me was giving order to communication. It is carrying over to other parts of my life. For THE Dyslexic Jenius, that is a miracle. Thank you.
In my IT company if you're a consultant/developer you have a technical lead above you. The technical lead (and the team) respond to the project manager. Each element of the team also has a personal manager. Each personal and project manager report to their respective BU chiefs which in turn report to the chief of whole department. There's multiple departments across the country and each of the chief departments report to the region/country leader which in turn reports to the CEO of the company.
Coordinator or Frontline Lead > Specialist or Asst. Manager > Analyst or Manager > General Manager > Director > Senior Director > COO and/or VP > Divisional President > Functional C-suite
Not sure I have a favourite, but worth noting that Strategy drives Structure, but more often Structure drives Strategy. This may be a constraint or an enabler. The whole point of Strategy is to step back and respond to the external (& internal environment), but so often these responses must fit to a predetermined structure.
One thing I did question when it came to "team" concept..is the usage of a "team captain"... ...Does most organizations in the team concept have a team captain? ...Is the "team captain" typically selected by the General Manager? Or is it a case of the team picking its Captain? ....what type of roles does a team Captain hold? Is it a "first among equals" or a case, where the Captain is given authority, by the General Manager? The concern of "authority" would basically dealing with an organization, that has multiple teams, but the size of the teams may vary. For example, what if there was an organization where a General Manager had 5 teams, having a combined membership of 37 people. Team A would have 12 people; Team B would have 9 people; Team C would have 8 people; Team D would have 5 people; and Team E would have 3 people. Team A might need a Captain with authority, because of the size. Team E might not have a "team captain" as strong, but mainly as first among equals.. With an organization with the "team structure", if there is a situation which involves a meeting with multiple teams, which one is more likely: The General Manager having a meeting with the entire organization as a whole (such as at a meeting hall or conference call) OR the GM having a meeting with the Team Captains, who will relay the message to their respected teams. (Would this be referred to as a "team of teams"?)
Organizational structure and core function are intriguing concepts to me. I think a definitive, logical match between the two is required. For example, a core function of a university should be teaching and/or research. The organizational structure should support that and honor that, however, frequently it does not.
I would develop in saying that teaching and learning are two different things. Then, one might realize that the function of the faculty members is not to teach but to facilitate the learning of others. This contrast when you look @ the organizational structure of a university and realize that it's present function is not to educate but instead is primarily aiming to maximize the quality of work life of the faculty. Education is a requirement but not an objective of the system we call a university. Ref: Turning Learning Right Side Up, Ackoff 2008
Wow, you've provided a great overview! I believe this is most often the case, for the modern education system at least. It's become more essential to facilitate the learning part, the information and resources are readily available with or without institutionalized learning. The goal has likely shifted from being able to provide proper education to facilitating the the students attempting to learn. This perspective makes much more sense!
Pls do more videos on organization structure hierarchy and different names with difference position and military vocabulary and team structure in detail
You could add the idea of hybrid. For example product based divisions (team) with shared functional corporate service divisions eg hr, accounting, it. (hierarchy)
Within my organization we have used program manager, team lead, and even hat association on maintenance type jobs when I worked in production. What it has represented is an hierarchy of work levels and even lateral workers who depend on each for an exhange in the workforce of production and or performance.

This is my report in strategic management subject, actually there's 4 types of creating an organizational structure such as, functional structure, multi divisional structure or known as M-form structure, matrix structure, and boundaryless structure. For me, the most difficult one to understand is the matrix structure 😭💔
My college major required I took 3 semesters of calculus and when I ended up switching to business it was like getting war flashbacks with all the matrix(vector) multiplication 😅
I was just trying to think of different variables common to organisations that have changed over the years, and based on your videos, I thought you might be able to give some insight on what to consider - A perspective. Your interpretation of my post is unfortunate.
I was looking to know about Horizontal and Vertical organization structures and the difference between them. But you didn't gave much details about it.
I have two videos planned on those topics but this video is not mainly about vertical and horizontal communication or structures. Those two are related for sure but this video is only about the three mentioned: Hierarchy, team, and matrix.

Hi, Chris. I'm so encouraged that you're finding the videos helpful. :-)
I'm going to make a report about organizational structure for our online class. Thank you for this discussion😉 I got an idea
Organic structure is my favorite, I worked for 2 companies with Organic structure and I enjoyed a lot at my work
Could you define what does organic structure mean ?
In my IT company if you're a consultant/developer you have a technical lead above you. The technical lead (and the team) respond to the project manager.

Good example. Thank you for sharing.

Online class brings me here thank you ❤🙏
I just learned
1- Functional organizational structure.
2- service & product organizational structure.
3- Matrix organizational structure.

...Does most organizations in the team concept have a team captain?

Thanks Dr. Lyon.
Hello would you know what job title is appropriate for the administrative/management jobs in a pharmaceutical industry? Thank you
You could add the idea of hybrid. For example product based divisions (team) with shared functional corporate service divisions eg hr, accounting, it. (hierarchy)
Which type of structure do you prefer for your industry?
Hi there, thank you for the video, it was great and easy to follow. Could you please do a more in-depth video on Organizational Structures?
hierarchy
In my organization we have the basics. Staff, Expirence Staff, Senior, Expirence Senior, Assitant Manager, manager etc
Thanks for the examples. What type of organization is it? Could be a restaurant?
God Bless you too.
Amazingly explained
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, Kesmer.
One question please,
Can the types mentioned in the video be named as follows:
- Functional type
- Divisional type
- Matrix type
And thank you
That's not the way I've seen them described. I see what you mean but the terms I'm using in the videos are the one's I've heard used.

What is the difference between team based organization and matrix
Here in my country, Libya, the most famous structure is hierarchy.
Thanks for your contribution, Salah.
What are the some of the common variables that have changed in organisations between the 19th and the 21st century?
Well, this sounds like a test question from a teacher, right? You'll have to research that on your own. Sorry.
I was just trying to think of different variables common to organisations that have changed over the years, and based on your videos, I thought you might be able to give some insight on what to consider - A perspective. Your interpretation of my post is unfortunate.
can someone explain what international division structure is in monkey terms?? i really dont understand what it is
This was helpful
Project structure
Take a look at "Org Physics"!
Matrix works best for my company
