Organization Chart

View Template for: SHU Organization Chart

In general, organization charts are:

1. Becoming flatter, with fewer layers of management;
2. Changing more frequently as restructuring occurs more frequently;
3. Less precise as multiple lines of reporting are more common;
4. Relatively less important every year;
5. Still reviewed by many people with great excitement and other emotions.

Given that the purpose of the horizontal unit is to support the businesses of the corporation, it is often revealing to draw a second chart which illustrates these logical reporting relationships.

Although rarely shown on an organization chart, every member of the horizontal unit should at least psychologically report to one or more business unit managers.

In practice, however, because of corporate titles and personal egos the above mentioned chart is usually too politically sensitive to be used constructively in most organizations.
