Hierarchy
(redirected from hierarchize)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Hierarchy
In human relations, governance in which who is in power over whom is clearly defined. For example, a hierarchy may exist with a company owner and three employees in that the owner is in charge of the employees. Hierarchy is easy to understand; power structures are marked and followed. It may be contrasted with a heterarchy, but one may exist within the other.
