Thank you for joining us again today for an important lesson! Have you ever wondered how a company looks on paper? Today, we'll address the visible description of corporate hierarchy and structure.

Today's Lesson
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART   組織図

Explanation

  • Most companies have a graphic outline of formal corporate structure and authority. This outline is called an organizational chart, or simply an "org chart." It represents a chain-of-command within a company that illustrates areas of responsibility and status.
  • ほとんどの会社には企業の組織と権限をまとめた概略図があります。このような図のことを organizational chart  または、短く "org chart" と呼びます。責任の範囲や地位が図で示されていて、企業内の指揮系統が分かるようになっています。

examples

  1. The position of CEO, or company President, is at the top of the organizational chart, equaled only by the Board of Directors and, perhaps, the CFO.
  2. According to the organizational chart  of Elo Electronics, the Sales Manager reports to the Director of Marketing.
  3. The organizational chart  has been changed as a result of corporate restructuring by our parent company. Now, the New Product Manager is responsible for the Research & Development Department.

So, can you locate your position on your company's  organizational chart? Is it near the top, or is it a little lower than you prefer? Have a great day!
