Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of EA Canada's structure includes few formal rules and little direct supervision, indicating that it has an organic structure. An organic structure is characterized by a flexible and decentralized approach to decision-making, with few formal rules and a focus on innovation and adaptability. This is in contrast to a mechanistic structure, which is more rigid and formalized. A virtual structure involves a network of geographically dispersed individuals and organizations working together via technology, and a complex structure typically involves multiple layers of hierarchy and bureaucracy, which is not indicated in the description.
