They did a testable study and found what internal and external changes can do to the area. This article find that the topic is still underdeveloped in a sense that it needs more research. This is useful because it can show how the specific effects really impact the area and what goes right and wrong. It helps that it is in a specific area because it goes in detail about what exactly went good and wrong.

This study does not prove that but that the results are different. The satisfaction between the two differs in is in security and satisfaction managerial which is helpful to understand and how to distinguish the two. The article is useful because it does show the two in a study and the only downside is that it references to foreign managers.

Hummon, N. P. (1970). Criticism of "Effects of Flat and Tall Organization Structure". Administrative Science Quarterly, 15(2), 230-234.

This article was very interspecific and surprisingly mathematical about the subject. It dissects the study to a measure on all aspects, but explains the study as well in pretty decent aspects. It goes over the original studies claims and how the study has faults within it. The article can be useful however it can come off as quite confusing because it has so much going on within the article and it doesn't have the equations separated.

The article may not be the best of the best of describing flat organization, but it gives the best explanation of what some seem like advantages. Also what flat organization can bring to a company or to the employees. In all honesty, this is the simplest way of saying what flat organization can bring for the company. Of course there are disadvantages but if trying to explain disadvantages then a person has the supposed advantages to argue about. Or an article that can give cost savings, collaborative, adaptable, etc.

This is good for a both perspective sides of what flat organization can provide and what it can take away. WIthout understanding both sides, one can be quick to judge and not give a detailed or knowledgeable decision about the structure. What also helps is that they have videos, with people who have an understanding and knowledge to defend or criticize the structure. This is good for the project because it offers basic understanding and is able to help put flat organization in placing when discussing.
