The currently used long vertical organization (layered)  takes too long time to process information, resulting more time to complete a process and to produce an output

Main disadvantages are as follow:

(1) Ignorance of Organizational Objectives:

Each departmental head works according to his sweet will. They always give more importance to their departmental objectives. Hence, overall organizational objectives suffer. For example, to establish its image, the production department may produce quality product ignoring the fact that market trend favors accepting medium quality product.

 (2) Difficulty in Interdepartmental Coordination:

All departmental heads may work as per their own wish. No doubt this facilitates coordination within the department but it makes interdepartmental coordination difficult.

(3) Conflict of Interest:

Every departmental head wants to become a functional empire. To satisfy their ego every one demands maximum resources for their department. This situation leads to conflicts among the various departmental heads.

(4) Hurdle in Complete Development:

This system is a hurdle in the way of the complete development of the employees. Each employee specializes only in a small part of the whole job.
