Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two clusters represented by span of control, centralization, and formalization are organic and mechanistic. Organic organizations tend to have decentralized decision-making, flexible hierarchies, and low formalization, while mechanistic organizations have centralized decision-making, rigid hierarchies, and high formalization. The terms hierarchical versus delayered, networked versus team-based, biological versus synthetic, and diverse versus integrated do not accurately describe the two clusters of organizational design features.
