How would you decide what kind of reporting structure suits your organisation the best? This question is especially relevant in a rapidly growing organisation. Of course there are standard organisational models available in management theories. But what would be your criteria to judge which model fits you the best?
One traditional way is to pre-determine a ratio of manager to reportees. But does this method do proper justice to maximisation of productivity?

We discussed a lot yesterday and with every PoV we took and every example we analysed, two things were coming out repeatedly..
1. The nature of organization does not have a great deal of influence on the kind of reporting
2. Reporting is a necessary evil due to the fact that most people are 'average performers'
All things being equal, and if people are mature enough, then 'reporting' as an activity adds only to establish control over people and serves no other purpose - so, in contrast, if we have mature employees, then the only thing that needs to be defined is clear responsibilities..
