1. Introduction
Organisation can be seen as networks of system perform by a collective effort of people in order to achieve to a common purpose. (Schermerhorn et al. 2011, p.11). An organization can be structured in many different ways, depending on their objectives. The structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs (Damraks 2009 p.1). Valve has a unique flat organisation structure where it operates. The purpose of this report is to discuss how selective adaptation of a vertical organisation structure can increase the efficiency, performance and growth at Valve. Firstly, this report will identify and examine Valve’s organisation structure problems within two main scopes of organisational structure, the horizontal organisation structure and the vertical organisation structure. Secondly, this report will analyse the academic literature regarding the two main scopes of organisation structure mentioned above as to deal with
