The two clusters represented by span of control, centralization, and formalization are organic versus mechanistic. Organic organizations tend to have decentralized decision-making, a wider span of control, and less formalized procedures. Mechanistic organizations, on the other hand, tend to have a more hierarchical structure, centralized decision-making, a narrower span of control, and more formalized procedures.
