tall (adjective, tall, \ tɒːl \) organization (noun, or-ga-ni-za-tion, \ ˌɔːrɡənəˈzeɪʃən \)
Definition: is a type of management organization system that implies a large number of authority levels in a business hierarchy. It is a complex and a rather complicated organizational system, which involves numerous managers that have a small, limited span of control over a small group of employees. Such an organizational structure is common for large companies and highly developed businesses. It allows the executives to concentrate only on crucial, larger decisions while employees that are lower in this pyramid-like system deal with the day-to-day objectives and tasks. A tall organization also allows for a more clearly distinguished set of responsibilities for each member of the pyramid, thus increasing their concentration on the specific tasks and increasing their productiveness.
In a Sentence:
- Our company features a tall organization system, which means every manager has a very restricted control area.
- Thanks to the tall organization, the processes in the firm are smooth and well-executed since every employee knows exactly what he or she is supposed to do.
- The decision-making process is a bit longer in the tall organization management. However, our level usually deals with small daily issues, so it’s not a very big problem.
