The Structure of the organisation: Walt Disney Company The structure of the Walt Disney company as an organisation is a sort of hierarchical and multidivisional structure as the company has one CEO who overseas the whole operation and underneath him is the other divisions of the Walt Disney company, the main ones being the Attractions, Studio and consumer products section. A Hierarchal structure is an organizational structure where every division and section within the organization except for one, are subordinate to a single other entity.

3. The structure of the organisation: A24 The structure of A24 as an organisation is a non-hierarchical  structure as the structure of the company is more grounded. As said by the company member Zoe Beyer who runs the social media accounts for A24 “That’s only funny,” Beyer once observed, “because you’re not quite sure who’s saying it. It could be the CEO or an intern.” This is a representation of the non-hierarchical structure of the company as it shows a less rank based and more equal playing field. A Non-hierarchal structure is an organizational structure where the CEO divides the members of the company into teams based on the needs of task at hand. By eliminating layers of managers, the process of decision making is sped up and therefore administrative costs become lower.
