Name three useful organizational structures and the advantages of each.

What will be an ideal response?


Hierarchical structures have the advantage of familiarity. People have previous experience with them. Hierarchies have the additional advantage of first showing users the big picture, followed by levels of successively finer detail that appear as a user drills down through the structure.
A hypertext structure, which consists of items of information and connecting links, provides the flexibility missing a pure hierarchical system.
A database organization gives people the ability to search more pages than they could if they had to look at each page in turn.
