Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of network described in the question is a vertical network, where there is a hierarchy of supervisors and subordinates. This is in contrast to a lateral network, where individuals at similar levels of the organization interact, or an external network, where individuals interact with individuals outside of the organization. An exponential network is not a commonly used term in the context of organizational networks.
