The tall organization passes messages down the pyramid until it gets to the intended source. The second downfall is the message is often times destroyed on the journey down the pyramid of leaders.
Flat organizations is the other type of organization.
The flat organization also has benefits and downfalls. The flat organization is more convenient having most supervisors in the same area in order to pass information. On the other hand, the flat organization has problems with other issues. For instance, flat organizations usually have much bypassing within the organization. If the managers does not have the same idea about the issue as the other managers they will be passing false information to their workers and in the end the product will by wrong.
