Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons
and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
The author is assuming a 'flat' organizational style would be more beneficial than the traditional orrganizational structure as it will encourage collegiaty and cooperation among employees. It also discounts all the benefits provided by the traditional structure.
First and foremost, the traditional structure encourages people to know more about their work. The people are given strong incentives to do this.
They are rewarded based on their contibution to the organization. The rewarding can be either in the form of a promotion or a salary incentive.
This way the employees are bothe apreciated and recognized for it by the employers. but in the flat organizational structure, there is no incentive for a better work or an additional effort. This will have a demotivating effect on all employees. most of them will see their careers as stagnant and will lose motivation. In this way, the flat structure makes more of a negative impact than a positive one.
furthermore, The traditional structure shows new joinees and young employees about successfully working in a work environment by looking at the working of people with senior grades. They also provide a better management style because of the clear distribution of individual responsibilities. On the contrast, a flat structure will always have some ambiguity regarding the responsibilities and to whom should on report. This curtails the effecient delegation of work and becomes difficult to monitor the progress.
One of the main arguments for a flat structure is that it encourages collegiality and cooperation among employees. The main flaw in this is that it assumes that it is more likely to have this effect in a flat structure than in a traditional struture without any evidence. It is more likelythat
traditional structure is likely to have the same effect in many cases, if not better. So, this argument doesn't make flat structure much better than a traditional one.
Traditional structure has some flaws. That doesn't mean one has to reject this approach and go for another. One should only do this if one knows that the new structure will complement the weakness of traditional structure without diminishing the benefits of the latter. The flat structure doesn't do this. It severely diminishes the benefits of traditional structure. As a result, Traditional structure is much better than a flat structure.
