Pyramidal organization model

A classical pyramidal organization model with strong functions may embody a silo condition that prevents effective team engagement and overall alignment thus, ensuring that the company has the correctly engineered organization as a prerequisite for success and measurement alone will be insufficient. 

A computer simulation of promotion practices at a hypothetical corporation provides a convincing demonstration of the cumulative effects of small-scale bias.22 The simulation modeled an organization with an 8-level pyramidal hierarchy, in which each level was staffed with equal numbers of men and... 

Let us consider now the food chain. Chemicals which accumulate in one organism at one trophic level in the food chain (a prey) owing to tissue binding are further concentrated at the subsequent trophic level. The highest tissue will occur at the top of the trophic pyramid. This holds especially true for human beings who are indeed at the top of different food chains. The mechanism of bioaccumulation can be best understood by a simple ecosystem model (Spain, 1982). Figure 5 shows the time course of concentration of a non-metabolized pesticide at each trophic level following the constant influx of a pesticide into the environmental compartments.
