How to Draw an Organization Chart

This example is based on the organizational chart from the Ohio State University website. [osu.edu/ vpsearch/ images/ University_ Org_ Chart.png]
"The Ohio State University, a multi-campus land grant institution with an international presence, is a world-class public research university and the leading comprehensive teaching and research institution in the state, Ohio's flagship university. Ohio State provides a distinctive educational experience for students and pursues cutting-edge interdisciplinary research that brings together scholars from diverse disciplines to solve key problems in society.
One of the University's core values is to "ignite a lifelong love of learning" in students. Ohio State students benefit from a scholarly environment in which research inspires and informs teaching.
The Vice President for Student Life provides vision, leadership, and strategic direction to the Office of Student Life, a comprehensive unit dedicated to supporting the educational mission of the University and promoting the best possible overall experience for the diverse student body of approximately 60,000. The Office of Student Life supports every aspect of Ohio State students experience. Its scope includes housing, campus dining, disability services, the multicultural center, counseling and health services, student organizations and leadership development, and other related operations."

"The operating forces commanders and fleet commanders have a dual chain of command. Administratively, they report to the Chief of Naval Operations and provide, train, and equip naval forces. Operationally, they provide naval forces and report to the appropriate Unified Combatant Commanders. Commander Fleet Forces Command commands and controls fleet assets on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for interdeployment training cycle purposes. As units of the Navy enter the area of responsibility for a particular Navy area commander, they are operationally assigned to the appropriate numbered fleet. All Navy units also have an administrative chain of command with the various ships reporting to the appropriate Type Commander." [navy.mil/ navydata/ organization/ orgopfor.asp]

A five level pyramid model of different types of Information Systems based on the information processing requirement of different levels in the organization. The first level represents transaction processing systems to process basic data. The second level represents office support systems to process information in office. The third level represents management information systems to process information by managers. The fourth level represents decision support systems to process explicit knowledge. The fifth level represents executive information systems to process tacit knowledge.
"A Computer(-Based) Information System is essentially an IS using computer technology to carry out some or all of its planned tasks. The basic components of computer based information system are:
(1) Hardware - these are the devices like the monitor, processor, printer and keyboard, all of which work together to accept, process, show data and information.
(2) Software - are the programs that allow the hardware to process the data.
(3) Databases - are the gathering of associated files or tables containing related data.
(4) Networks - are a connecting system that allows diverse computers to distribute resources.
(5) Procedures - are the commands for combining the components above to process information and produce the preferred output.
The first four components (hardware, software, database and network) make up what is known as the information technology platform. Information technology workers could then use these components to create information systems that watch over safety measures, risk and the management of data. These actions are known as information technology services." [Information systems. Wikipedia]
