Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organic structure encourages flexibility, adaptability, and creativity, which are essential qualities for organizations operating in uncertain and rapidly changing environments. This type of structure enables quick decision-making and facilitates communication across different levels of the organization. On the contrary, a rigid and tall structure, a highly defined set of policies and procedures, and high levels of job specialization and low levels of job interdependence may increase bureaucracy, stifle innovation and make it harder to adapt to changes in the environment.
