The vertical connecting lines in the organization chart show the firm's chain of command: the authority relationships among people working at different levels of the organization and starting from Director, Vice President, Human Resources, and others. There are, however, conditions under which an organization and its employees can benefit by violating the unity-of-command principle. Under a matrix structure, for example, employees from various functional areas (product design, manufacturing, finance, marketing, human resources, etc.) form teams to combine their skills in working on a specific project or product.
