There are three common examples of organizational structure types:

1. Linear system. Linear system is the earliest and simplest organizational form. Its characteristic is that the administrative units at all levels of the enterprise implement vertical leadership from top to bottom, the subordinate departments only accept the instructions of a superior, and the responsible persons at all levels are responsible for all problems of their subordinate units.

2. Functional system. The functional organizational structure is that administrative units at all levels set up some functional institutions in addition to the competent person in charge. Such as the establishment of functional institutions and personnel under the factory director to assist the factory director in functional management.

3. Linear function. Linear functional system, also called production area system, or linear staff system. It is established on the basis of linear system and functional system, learning from each other's strong points and absorbing the advantages of these two forms. Most of our enterprises adopt this organizational structure.
