University Organizational Structure
This is an excerpt from the paper...
A typical university can be characterized as a hybrid organization with elements of both tall and flat structures. Tall structures "have many levels of authority relative to the organization's size" whereas "flat structures have few levels but wide spans of control" (Tall & Flat Organizations 2008, p. 1). Given that universities have a hierarchal structure in which top level administrators such as a president or chancellor sit at the apex of the structure followed by departmental and functional deans and other executives, the structure is both tall and flat in that deans and their equivalents in administrative departments have wide spans of control.
