Structures
Tall Structure
Drawbacks
Fewer management positions so workers have fewer options for promotion
Managers have a wide span of control so it is more difficult to monitor the work of subordinates who may make costly mistakes
Benefits
more line managerial positions makes it easier to monitor subordinates' performance
more chance of promotion for subordinates, which can be motivating
Flat structure
Drawbacks
Communication takes longer as chains of command are longer
More management positions means the business has to pay higher salaries, increasing their costs. Businesses can cut costs through de-layering which is removing a level of management.
Benefits
Information can get passed through relatively quickly
Fewer management roles which reduces the need for the business to pay high management salaries
easier for managers to delegate tasks as they have a wide span of control
more delegation to subordinates which gives employee more responsibility, therefore workers' motivation might increasea
