Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a clear example of a line organizational structure because there is a clear chain of command with the wait staff reporting directly to the floor manager, who in turn reports directly to the restaurant manager. The other options do not fit this scenario as well, as a matrix structure usually involves multiple lines of reporting and a network structure is generally less formal and more fluid. A line-and-staff structure involves both direct and support staff reporting to managers, which doesn't match the scenario given.
