The market competition leads companies to develop strategic plans. The challenge is to deploy a plan and commit employees in carrying out actions aligned to the goals and to hierarchical levels. This research reveals the management model used in a business unit of a metallurgical industry and the relationship between its hierarchical levels. In order to reach our goals, an evaluation tool called flexible organizational model developed by Mendes (2002) was used.  We applied a questionnaire Likert type scale of five - response numbered one represented total disagreement and number five, total agreement. We calculated the median level of agreement on the Likert scale and the degree of agreement and disagreement through dichotomization of the data. The study found a high degree of concordance with flexible organizational model applied to this business unit. It also confirmed the leveling between the hierarchical levels studied, as elements of increased competitiveness in the perception of respondents.
