What is a flat organization? What is a virtualized organization?

Flat organization is one of the forms of modern enterprise organizational structure, which changes the vertical relationship between superior and subordinate organizations and leaders, the horizontal relationship between units at the same level and the relationship between organizational body and external aspects in the original hierarchical organizational structure.

Organizational virtualization means that the future enterprise organizational structure is no longer a real enterprise entity composed of various posts and departments based on property rights, assets as the link and authority as the basic operating mechanism, but a dynamic enterprise consortium based on computers and information networks, with division of labor and cooperation as the link, combined with the principle of authoritative control and market equivalent exchange.
