hierarchical organization is an organizational structure where every entity in the organization,except one,is subordinate to a single other entity.This arrangement is a form of a hierarchy.In an

organizations;most corporations,governments,and organized religions are hierarchical organizations with different levels of management,power or authority.,Members of hierarchical organizational structures chiefly communicate with their immediate superior and with their immediate subordinates.Structuring organizations in this way is useful partly because it can reduce the communication overhead by limiting information flow;this is also its major limitation.,19/49,20/49,Formal Communication,21/49,Formal and Informal Communication Networks in An Organization,22/49,Reading,Read the
