The above diagram is found on http://www.theofficialboard.com/org-chart/crocs. This diagram shows the levels of hierarchy of the company Crocs. Like the following diagram.
As the levels go upwards, the responsibility and authority that the people in the level hold, increases. For example, the CEO, Ronald Snyder, who is at the top level in this company would have the greatest responsibility and authority. There is also a chain of command that goes from the top level to the bottom level. What the chain of command means is that decisions or orders being made by the top level would be passed on downwards level by level.
You can also see the span of control by looking at the diagram of Crocs’ organizational structure. Ronald Snyder has the greatest span of control because everybody is under him.
The following diagram can explain “span of control”.
Everybody under Managing director is his span of control. As the level goes up, the span of control increases.
Because there is no other organization’s structure to compare with the Crocs’ organizational structure, you can’t tell whether it is a tall of flat structure. One thing that can be seen is that Crocs definitely does not have a circular/flat structure, since there are so many levels of hierarchy.
It is also impossible to tell if Crocs has a centralized, decentralized structure or matrix structure with only that diagram. That is because the diagram only tells us the levels of hierarchy and how people at each level work together can’t be seen through that diagram.
