Organizational structure of "straight line system"

Linear system is the simplest centralized organizational structure, also known as military structure. Its leadership relationship is established according to the vertical system, and there is no special functional organization, which is the same as a straight line from top to bottom. Linear system is the earliest and simplest organizational form. Its characteristic is that the administrative units at all levels of the enterprise implement vertical leadership from top to bottom, and the subordinate departments only accept instructions from a superior, and the responsible persons at all levels are responsible for all problems of the subordinate units. The factory department does not set up another functional organization (functional personnel can be set up to assist the supervisor), and all management functions are basically performed by the administrative supervisor himself.

The advantages of linear organizational structure are: simple structure, clear responsibilities and unified orders. The disadvantage is that the administrative person in charge needs to be familiar with a variety of knowledge and skills and handle various businesses in person. It is obviously incompetent to concentrate all management functions on the top supervisor in the case of complex business and large enterprise scale. Therefore, linear system is only suitable for small-scale enterprises with simple production technology, but not for enterprises with complex production technology and management. The command and management functions of this organizational structure are basically carried out by the factory director himself. The organization is simple and the authority is clear, but there are high requirements for the factory director in terms of management knowledge and professional skills. This organizational structure is generally only suitable for small enterprises with simple production processes, but it is not suitable for large modern production enterprises because of the heavy and complicated management tasks.

functional organization

Also known as business division system or business division system, it refers to the organizational system in which the administrative organization is horizontally divided into several departments at the same level, and the business nature and basic functions of each department are the same, but they are not unified and cooperate with each other. The advantage of the functional system is that administrative agencies manage, select and hire professionals according to their functions or business nature, and play the role of professional expertise; Conducive to professional specialization, careful thinking and improving management level; Putting similar businesses in the same department and defining special departments and responsibilities are conducive to establishing an effective work order, preventing negligence and shirking, and adapting to the characteristics of complicated production technology and refined management in modern industrial enterprises; It can give full play to the professional management role of functional organizations and reduce the workload of line leaders. But the shortcomings are also obvious: it hinders the necessary centralized leadership and unified command, forming multi-head leadership; It is not conducive to the establishment and improvement of the responsibility system of administrative heads and functional departments at all levels. In middle management, there is often a phenomenon that everyone is rushing to push; In addition, when the guidance and orders of the superior administrative leaders conflict with the functional organizations, the subordinates will be at a loss, which will affect their normal work and easily lead to lax discipline and chaotic production management order. It is not convenient for the overall cooperation between administrative organizations and departments, and it is easy to form the phenomenon of departmental fragmentation, which makes it difficult for administrative leaders to coordinate. Usually, functional system should be combined with hierarchical system. Functional organizational structure is that administrative units at all levels set up some functional institutions in addition to the person in charge. Such as the establishment of functional institutions and personnel under the factory director to assist the factory director in functional management. This structure requires the executive director to hand over the corresponding management responsibilities and powers to relevant functional organizations, and each functional organization has the right to give orders to subordinate administrative units within its own business scope. Therefore, in addition to the command of the superior administrative director, the subordinate administrative director must also accept the leadership of the superior functional organization. Due to the obvious defects of this organizational structure, modern enterprises generally do not adopt functional system. Functional organizations, like linear organizations, have different management levels, but each link of the organization belongs to different leaders according to each function performed, so this kind of organization is characterized by multiple subordinate States. For example, in any university, it is a purely functional institution, and the students in the school belong to different departments, departments and administrative organs.
