    (Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Molina Velásquez, Isabel Cristina; López Gallego, Francisco
    This is a qualitative research with a descriptive and cross-sectional approach, in which are collected definitions of key authors that allow a conceptual understanding of what is a flat structure and are contrasted with the opinion of Colombian and Latin American experts (academics, consultants and entrepreneurs), to identify the characteristics of a flat structure for this context, the impacts on the operation of the companies and the key implementation requirements. The above looking to shed light on the applicability of these types of organizations in the Colombian context. It is found that for the interviewees the flat organizational structure is that one with low levels of formalization, centralization, and differentiation. To adopt this type of structure, organizations must ensure a clear purpose, a strong culture that functions as an alignment mechanism, employees with highly developed self-management skills, a relevant leadership style and focuses on teams and individuals' performance. Likewise, interviewees agree on that this type of structure offers very relevant advantages in the current business context, such as rapid adaptation to changes in the environment, greater innovation, commitment and proactivity of employees and a better working environment; in the other hand, organizations with this structure will have to deal with highly complex disadvantages, associated with disorganization, the materialization of agency conflicts, resistance of leaders to the loss of power and lack of coherence between corporate purpose and structure.
