Nestle System and Organization Structure
A company's organizational chart typically demonstrates relations between people
within an organization. Such relations might include managers to sub-workers, directors
to managing directors, chief executive officer to various departments, and so forth.
When an organization chart grows too large it can be split into smaller charts for
separate departments within the organization.

2. The different types of organization charts include:
Hierarchical
Matrix
Flat (also known as Horizontal)
Nestle Company is a decentralized organization that is organized according to the
matrix structure. Nestle as a decentralized organization permits to subordinate branches
to enjoy a proportionately high-level of independence. Although it still makes major
strategy decisions at the headquarter level, daily operations are left up to subordinate
branches to derive and perform. The responsibility for operating decisions is push down
to local units (Broeckx & Hooijberg 2008).
In organization structure, Complex system is a system that is comprises a large number
of entities that display a high level of nonlinear interactivity. There are number of basic
observations that have been made through the examination of complex systems, mainly
using computer simulation and the mathematic of non-linearity. (Unden 2001)
Complex systems are usually open systems. Nestle, over its long historical
development from a small village operation to the world's leading food Company, has
illustrate an excellent capability to adjust to an ever-changing external environment,
without losing its basic beliefs and core values, so important for long-term success.
Over the years to come, this capability will continue to be challenge even more as
Nestle is growing in size and complexity up to a dimension, which demands a
continuous development of its organisation and of the way in which it run (Christopher &
Yannicrumar 2008).
