Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Horizontal team organization is a newer approach to departmentalization that emphasizes cross-functional teams and flattened hierarchies. This allows for an all-directional focus that increases speed of response, individual accountability, flexibility, knowledge sharing, and coordination throughout the organization. Virtual organization, learning organization, and network structure all have their own unique benefits, but do not necessarily prioritize these specific advantages of horizontal team organization.
