What is meant by flat management model?

Flat management, or flat management, refers to the reduction in the number of management levels and the improvement of efficiency. Traditional business management models generally present a pyramid structure with many layers and relatively low efficiency.

The contributions of flat management are:

1, reduction of management levels;

2, higher levels can map a larger area of subordinates, thus improving management efficiency;

3, special subordinate functions are focused on at a higher level (the direct management model, or network structure).

Widely used by small businesses, it allows the owner to directly manage the entire organization. A variant result of flattening is the network model. A functional point has different roles in different relationships, which leads to a lower vacancy rate of human resources and realizes efficiency gains.

Flat management is a management model implemented by companies to address the challenges faced by hierarchical organizational forms in the modern environment.

When the size of the enterprise increases, the original effective way is to increase the management level, but now the effective way is to increase the management range. When the management level is reduced and the management range is increased, the pyramid form of organization is "compressed" into a flat form of organization.
