Pyramid- The pyramidal shape of a company's organizational chart reflects a hierarchy. Executives are at the top of the chart; middle management follows; and lower-ranking employees are at the bottom.
Centralised/decentralised- In a centralised organisation head office (or a few senior managers) will retain the major responsibilities and powers. Conversely decentralised organisations will spread responsibility for specific decisions across various outlets and lower level managers, including branches or units located away from head office/headquarters.
Collaborative- A collaborative business is structured so that people can work together efficiently and effectively. This enables them to respond quickly to the challenges faced by the organisation. Teams are a common feature of collaborative organisations. The members may work together or communicate from a distance, using IT. These are known as virtual teams. Team membership will change so that the necessary expert skills are represented depending upon the type of task or problem.

Here the most senior manager is in the middle looking out, rather than at the top and looking down. The structure can be shown as a series of concentric circles. The people in the organisational have flexible job roles and can move in and out of different
