An organizational chart (org chart) is a diagram that depicts the structure of an organization, showing the ranks and relationships among its various positions. There are three main types of organizational charts: hierarchical, flat, and matrix, each serving specific structural purposes. While org charts are beneficial for clarifying roles and enhancing coordination, they also have limitations, including an inability to reflect informal relationships and a tendency to become outdated quickly.

2. Definition of Organizational Chart
An organizational chart (often called organization chart, org chart,
organigram(me), or organogram(me)) is a diagram that shows the structure
of an organization and the relationships and relative ranks of its parts and
positions/jobs. The term is also used for similar diagrams, for example ones
showing the different elements of a field of knowledge or a group of
languages.

It is a type of organizational structure in which
people with similar skills are pooled for work
assignments, resulting in more than one
manager (sometimes referred to as solid line
and dotted line reports, in reference to
traditional business organization charts). Also known as horizontal. An organization
that has an organizational structure with
few or no levels of middle management
between staff and executives.
A hierarchical organization is an
organizational structure where every
entity in the organization, except one,
is subordinate to a single other entity.

5. Limitations of an Organizational Chart
It only shows "formal
relationships" and tells
nothing of the pattern of
human (social)
relationships which
develop.
It shows nothing about the
managerial style adopted
(e.g. autocratic or
democratic)
It very quickly becomes
out-of-date, especially in
large organizations who
change their staff regularly.
