Entrepreneurial organisational structure

An entrepreneurial or simple organisational structure typically centres authority on an owner-manager or a small leadership group, with few formal layers and relatively informal communication. It can support rapid decisions and a clear personal direction, especially in a small organisation. As activity grows, reliance on the central decision maker may create overload, weak succession and inconsistent procedures. The label concerns organisational structure, not a guarantee that every employee has equal authority or that the business is innovative.
