A few fourth of the media have situated flat hierarchies as a need for the fruitful organizations of tomorrow. In any case, this is not the situation. They suit certain organizations however will probably be detrimental to other people.

What hierarchies and different types of flat hierarchies share practically speaking is a littler than-ordinary layer of center management. Some flat hierarchies have no center managers among staff and officials, with choices made without anyone else's input arranging groups or turning group pioneers. Others have less center managers than you would regularly expect in a customary organization of a similar size, with every one managing an a lot bigger cut of the workforce. Largely, managers will in general have greater duty and responsibility in flat organizations. This is especially evident where there is just one layer among staff and the official level.

4. DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
As per Miles and Huberman (1994), information show is a visual configuration that presents data efficiently so the clients can make inference. "Analysis of subjective information lays midway on showcases that pack and order information to allow reaching determinations, while guarding against the over-burden and potential for inclination that shows up when we attempt to investigate expanded, unreduced content‖ (Miles and Huberman, 1994).
4.1 Data Analysis on the Structured Interview Table 4.1: MBA Institutes falling under category of Organisation Structure Figure 4.1: MBA institutes falling under each organisation structure
In light of the reactions acquired from the interview, it was seen that all the 210 institutes pursue any of the three organization structures: hierarchical, flat and flat-hierarchical. 70 institutes had a common 'start to finish approach', single expert and scarcely any adaptability as far as basic leadership. Choices are made by the expert just and there is not really any accord taken. These have been classified as hierarchical organizations. 98 institutes had adaptable decision-making and 'length of control' was wide. These institutes had not many layers of the executives prompting a shorter 'start to finish' correspondence approach. These have been classified as flat organizations Remaining 42 institutes had an organization structure that was hierarchical on the top and after that flatter at the base. These institutes had specially appointed groups to take care of various viewpoints. Every division in these institutes had their very own different groups. Each group had a specialist which cared for the group's working. These institutes additionally circulated work dependent on specialization of the representatives. Being a mix of pecking order and flat organization structure, these 42 institutes fall under the classification of flatarchies or flat-hierarchical organization structures.

CONCLUSION
