LINE AND STUFF POSITIONS

In business, organization structure means the relationship between positions and people who hold the positions. Organizations structure is very important because it provides an efficient work system of communication.

Historically, line structure is the oldest type of organization structure. The main idea of it is direct, vertical relationship between the positions and tasks of each level, and the positions and tasks above and bellow each level. For example, a sales manager may be in a line position between a vice-president of marketing and a salesman. Thus a vice-president of marketing has direct authority over a salesman. A sales manager in his turn has direct authority over a salesman. This chain of command simplifies the problems of giving and taking orders.

When a business grows in size and becomes more complex, there is a need for specialists. In such case administrators may organize staff departments and add staff specialists to do specific work. These people are usually busy with services; they are not tied in with the company product. The activities of the staff departments include an accounting, personnel, credit and advertising. Generally the do not give orders to other departments.
