Similar to the wheel network, the star network has a central hub for communication flow. This could be seen in a tech support team where all information is transferred via the team leader.

In a circle network, members communicate with others in a fixed pattern of sequence which is usually with their immediate team members. For example, in a small department, information might flow from person to person in meetings.

An all-channel network allows for everyone to communicate with each other equally, often found in flat organizations. An example is a start-up company where all team members collaborate and communicate freely without a rigid structure.

The Y network is a combination where a central authority communicates to a select few who in turn pass the information to separate groups. An NGO might operate this way, with headquarters passing information to regional leaders who then inform their local teams.

The wheel network relies on a central figure to act as the conduit for all communication. In a sales team, the manager might receive all feedback from sales representatives and then provide directions based on that feedback.
