Investopedia explains 'Organizational Chart'

In general there are three types of organizational chart structures; hierarchical, flat and matrix. Hierarchical is the most common with higher ranking individuals situated atop the chart and lower ranking persons found below them. A flat or horizontal chart depicts individuals along the same level, not placing greater importance to an individual's title by placing them above any other individual. A matrix structure is more complicated, with individuals grouped by their common skill-sets but also by the groups in which they work and people they may report to.
