detailing the responsibilities, roles as well as other relation within individuals and entity (Huang-
Horowitz 2015). In simple term it can be said that, organisational charts have variety of uses as
well as can structured in several different manner. Moreover, organisational chart are constructed
within several formats i.e., hierarchical, functional top-down, flat and matrix. In relation of New
York Philharmonic, it is one of the oldest musical institution which was founded in 1842.
Structures and complexities
Organisational structure is system which outlines that explain how several activities are
directed for accomplishing goals as well as objectives in effective manner. These activities
involve roles, rules, responsibilities and many more which help in conducting activities in
effective manner (Kolk, 2016). In addition to this, organisational structure also determines how

information flow within levels of business firm. Proper organisational structure will allow New
York Philharmonic in remaining efficient as well as focused. There are mainly four type of
organisational structure i.e., functional, divisional, matrix and flatarchy.
 Functional structure – In this type of organisational structure every part of company is
classified as per their intent. For instance, marketing department will perform activities
related to advertising and promotion, HR work on training purpose and hiring new
candidates (Kozubikova, Homolka, and Kristalas, 2017). For small scale organisations
functional structure is more effective because in this all functions may lie upon
proficiency as well as skills of their employees and support itself.
 Flat structure - It is defined as an organisational structure where no or less management
layers between the employees and management. This kind of structure helps in increasing
the involvement of employees in decision making process instead of supervise them
(Moroni Arruda and Araujo, 2015). Especially, flat organisational structure is suitable
for small businesses whose need to be flexible that leads to the firm which can respond to
the competition. As it facilitates great interaction among management and employees as
compared to other structure as well as it may be lead high morale of employees which
results in high achievers. Whereas, sometimes flat structure of an organisation can be
made poor decisions as well as lead towards wasted time in involving all workers which
constraints the productivity as well as performance.
 Matrix organisation - It is a structure of the organisation in which some of the employee
have to report to more them one leader or the manager. It builds the relationship between
the different department as some of the activities are performed by the combination of
several department as every department performs their own task and report that to the
other which leads the effective outcome. It is work for to strengthen he strength and
weaken the weakness, thus this structure is used to measure the large-scale projects. It is
used to generally help the product manager and function manager by which there is a
complete usage of resources and project is formally coordinated by all the department
(Otache and Mahmood, 2015).

 Divisional structure – In large scale organisations divisional structure utilise which
working in board geographic places or which has distinguish small entities into umbrella
team for covering various kinds of goods or marketplaces. Benefit of implementing
respective organisational structure is to need of company met more rapidly as well as
specifically. Along with this, each and every department may perform more or less
independently for other department in company. In relation of New York Philharmonic
they are using divisional organisational structure as it is more effective and help in
dividing each and every department working within more effective manner. There are
several advantages of implementing divisional structure for New York Philharmonic as it
is useful because it affords the respective organisation greater operational flexibility.
Along with this, failure or any other issue in one division does not directly threaten the
other department of New York Philharmonic. In the multi-divisional structure,
subsidiaries benefit from the use of the brand and capital of the parent company.
Apart from this, implementation of divisional structure result in creating several complexities for
business firm such as operational inefficiencies from separating specialized functions. For

tax implications.
