Line Organisation
o The same level executives do not give or receive orders
amongst themselves. But they receive orders from their
immediate boss and give orders to their subordinates.
Hence, all the heads are responsible to the general
manager, the general manager, in turn, is responsible to
the shareholders who are the owners.
o This type of organisation is followed in the army on the
same pattern. So, it is called military organisation. Under
type of organisation, the line of authority flows from the
top to bottom vertically. So it is called line organisation.
