Presented by Himanshu Shakyawar (E&I IET DAVV) Boeing Organizational Chart Boeing is a Centralized Organization: -high-level executives make most decisions and pass them down to lower levels for implementation.

Boeings span of control is wide: -163,851 employees -In 70 countries

Boeings hierarchyHas hierarchy levels where top supervisors make decisions for organizationUses Differentiation - the organization is composed of many different units that work on different kinds of tasks, using different skills and work methods.Uses Integration - the differentiated units are put back together so that work is coordinated into an overall product.Authority trickles down organization from top to bottomCEO and CFO and COOPresident and Vice PresidentDepartment Heads

Vertical StructureHorizontal StructureOrganization is subdivided or departmentalized into smaller units or departments.Each Department has a Department head that oversees that division and all employees in the division.Lower level management reports to department head who reports to CEO, CFO, or COO.This structure works to create individual and specific divisions that oversee specific functions of the organization.

Analysis of Vertical and Horizontal StructureVertical and Horizontal Structure often work synonymously.

Vertical Structure establishes top supervisors who make decisions about how to run the organization.

Horizontal Structure breaks down the organization into smaller divisions overseen by department head who report to top supervisors.

Vertical Structure dictates how authority is delegated (top to bottom)

Horizontal Structure dictates how each division is integrated into the organization.

Matrix StructureBoeing uses the Matrix structure to runs its organization.- Different divisions run independently due to the diversity of Boeings products.

- Boeing is an organization that has constant changes in technology, which means that collaboration amongst the divisions is essential for success.

- Boeing is a network organization with independent, single-function firms that collaborate on a good or service.

- Resource utilization is efficient because key resources are shared across several important programs or products at the same time.
