How do horizontally organized companies differ from traditionally organized companies

Horizontally organised companies do not have a strict hierarchy of posts with increasing importance and allow more freedom to the employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontally organised companies function very differently from traditional companies as the traditional structure is a pyramidal vertical structure.

In this structure people at the top are few and are at higher positions and issue orders which are distributed by managers to employees.

In the horizontal structure the managers are taken out of play and even the employees make important decisions for the company. This allows for greater morale and freedom but can only work for small and medium sized businesses in certain niches.
