Managers have only a few people to manage (narrow span of control)
Employees can specialise in what they know best
Good promotion prospects because there are more jobs
Bigger range of benefits, such as a car park, canteen, social club
Advantages of Tall Organisational structure
![Page 9: Organisational Structures. Organisational Charts Traditional Structure Who fits is where? Managing Director/Owner Secretary Receptionist Senior Manager](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082711/56649eac5503460f94bb1e91/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Disadvantages of Tall Organisational structure
Employees might feel very remote from the person running the company, especially in a company like Tesco where the Chief Executive is in one country and some employees are in another country
The structure can be inflexible because employees will have to work to rigid policies and procedures
Decisions can take a long time to filter down from the Chief Executive
Departments might work in isolation

Advantages of Flat Organisational structure
Good communication because the business is small
New ideas can be quickly adopted by all staff
Staff feel they can communicate with the manager
Can operate informally because employees will know everyone else and they can easily help other staff
Decisions can be taken and put in place very quickly

Disadvantages of Flat Organisational structure
Employees might feel that there is little chance of promotion because there are only a few people in the organisation; this can be demotivating
Employees might feel that they have to do a range of jobs rather than concentrate on just one.
Managers may have many people to manage (wide span of control)
