Vertical organization
What is vertical organization?
A vertical organization is a traditionally organized company with a hierarchical and linear structure consisting of multiple levels of management. This usually looks like a pyramid with executives at the top, mid-level managers in the middle, and low-level managers and employees at the bottom.
As individuals pass up the pyramid they will be given more power and financial remuneration but that also comes with increased responsibility, working hours etc. This model is arguably the most traditional business structure in place today and remains characteristic of the majority of businesses working across the world.
