The statement "reduce the size of their staff component" is not accurate in relation to the stages of the organizational life cycle. As organizations mature, they may streamline or restructure their staff component, but this does not always result in reducing its size. In fact, some organizations may increase their staff component as they grow or expand into new markets.
