You can look at vertical time as the amount of time in a day and horizontal time is the amount of time in your lifetime. When thinking about a task you must place the task in one of these two categories and in some cases both.

The terms vertical and horizontal often describe directions: a vertical line goes up and down, and a horizontal line goes across. You can remember which direction is vertical by the letter, “v,” which points down.

Horizontal lines have zero slope and their equations are of the form y=c. Vertical lines have undefined slope and their equations are of the form x=c.

Vertical construction projects are driven by architecture design where heavy civil projects are often led by structural or civil engineers and design motivations vary. Horizontal construction projects typically focus more on strong bonds with a particular industry.

Generally it is cheaper to build up than out, however factors that can cost more in some vertical cases can be expanded elevator shafts and more complicated HVAC systems when building up.

Simply put, horizontal construction refers to structures that are more spread out relative to their height, while vertical construction refers to taller structures that are more confined in terms of their footprint.

Horizontal Projects are major organisational initiatives that normally involve co-operation among two or more Directorates or policy sectors to address crosscutting or interconnected issues, within a given timeframe and in response to a specific mandate.

Horizontal and Vertical elements as the author of the article defines them are. “Vertical design elements are dependent upon the individual application and specific software implementations. Horizontal design elements are those that are common across applications and specific implementations”

In development horizontal construction refers to the initial site prep and grading that is involved with getting a site ready to build on. Vertical construction typically starts when the foundation of the new building is being poured.

Vertical organizations provide clear lines of authority and a tight span of control, which can lead to high operating efficiency. In general, the organization is comprised of relatively small departments, allowing managers to closely monitor and control the activities of their subordinates.

Cons or disadvantages of Horizontal or flat organization structure: It is nonresponsive to environmental change. It does not promote innovation and creativity. This type of structure can create a power struggle.

According to Org Chart, a horizontal structure has only two or three chains of command. For example, a horizontal company may include the business owner at the top of the hierarchy, followed by one layer of managers or team leaders with the rest of the company below them at the same hierarchical level.

Five elements create an organizational structure: job design, departmentation, delegation, span of control and chain of command. These elements comprise an organizational chart and create the organizational structure itself.

Structure is composed of three components: complexity, formalization and centralization. Discuss each of these components. Complexity is the degree to which activities within the organization are differentiated.

Horizontal and vertical are two special cases of linear relationships. Horizontal lines are lines that run directly from left to right and are parallel to the x-axis. Vertical lines are lines that run directly up and down and are parallel to the y-axis.
