Hierarchy presents itself
in any given
organization. This varies
from senior
management (executive bo
ard) to the
lowest levels in the organiz
ation. Henri
Fayol ’s “hierarchy” mana
gement principle
states that there should be
a clear line in
the area of authority (fro
m top to bottom
and all managers at all lev
els).
This can be seen as a type
of management
structure. Each employee
can contact a
manager or a superior in
an emergency
situation without challen
ging the hierarchy.
Especially, when it concer
ns reports about
calamities to the immedia
te
managers/superiors.

organizational chart, which identifies the superior and
subordinate relationships in the organizational structure
