(Communication network pattern can be described in terms of centralization, or the degree to which the communication in a network flows through some members rather than other. On the left side of the figure is the all channel network structure, which is highly decentralized. . On the right side of the figure, at the other extreme, is the wheel network structure. Although there are many other configurations you can easily think of, we also included the circle and Y structures to illustrate examples that fall between the extremes in terms of the level of centralization.)
