Hierarchy of Organizational Structure

All large companies have a design in their structure that works best for them. Most large companies follow the basis of what any other large organization would. Such as School, Military, Police, or even a Government, they all have their own set in standard way of hierarchy. This can be mirrored of what a fortune 500 company would use. Of course you have your owner, VP's, and then comes the managers.

• CEO
• Vice Presidents
• Lawyers
• Decision Support
• Management
• Employees

In this typical layout, it can be spread across any number of product lines or services a company offers. For instance if a company offers five different product lines then there is usually going to be a Vice President put in place to represent one of each sections, then would come the decision support for those sections and of course followed by its own management structure. Fortune 500 companies like Verizon, Comcast, or even Staples must have achieved this successful design and strategy to allow them to grow so rapidly and become so large. The divisional way of doing things can be seen like a matrix, where any given employee can have anywhere from two managers to dozens.
