Organizational Chart Analysis
A well-defined organizational chart could be enough to tell the audience about the nature of the organization for which he or she would have accessed the chart. Notably, the necessity to maintain hierarchies or to guarantee ease of vertical communication within an organization influences the organizational structure, exemplified by the organizational chart.
