3. What are the most important elements of Toyota's organizational structure?

Toyota employs a vertical structure within its business, meaning that it heavily relies on a management driven way of self-running. Managers are highly in control of the flow of business and production. Toyota also employs a system called 'TPS' in which employees have the power to veto a product if there is a defect or reason to believe there will be a defect. This is perhaps the most important element of Toyota's organizational structure.
