Since the company is in its early development stage and small in size, job design is likely to be very open and flexible. The employees may be asked to cross-train in all areas due to the need to multitask, and the breadth of competencies required of employees may be greater than in a large company where job roles are more specialized. Additionally, there are likely to be fewer rules about how business is carried out due to the company's size and informal structure. Therefore, all of the above statements are correct.
