Hi.
I'm doing abit of research for my assignment, it's so simple really it's just finding the bloody information, I've typed loads of phrases into google but nothing of relevance comes up.
What I'm trying to find is what companys use a hierarchical organisation, and what use a flat organisation. I need for find one company for each.
Thanks
Will.

Evening !!
Probably the easiest thing to do is to pick a bunch of companies, write/email the HR department and ask them if they could tell you or send you an organisation structure chart ('Organogram' I think). If you explain your situation and what you want the info for, I'm sure they'd be pleased to help.
Cheers............ M

Any one of the Armed Forces are a good example of Hierarchical. I believe a University is an example of flat.

From what I could make out, universities are more like a feudal hierarchy - although apparently the University of Barcelona is a workers co-operative.

It's about how you phrase the search that's important for finding info. If what you are searching has a number of words put AND in between them. This will tell the search engine that it has to look for all the factors together, rather then individually. Another one is OR. This will obviously search for things that has one or the other. Just doing this should refine your search quite dramatically.

You have no idea who writes it nor whether it's remotely true! I've edited some entries on it for christ's sake! |
 That's awesome!! Although I really hope mine don't do that because I still use it a lot for revision...

Most companies are hierarchical in structure - at least the ones I've worked for. I understand that Google itself enjoys a flat structure. In reality, though, there's always a boss somewhere who makes the final decision so every organisation is to some extent hierarchical.
