Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement suggests that formalization through strict, impersonal rules may lead to a minimum acceptable level of performance, which indicates the disadvantages and liabilities of mechanistic structures. Hence, option A is the most suitable answer. Option B is incorrect because efficiency or inefficiency of bureaucracy is not directly related to the given statement. Option C is also incorrect as it suggests direct supervision as the best method, which is not discussed or implied in the statement. Option D is not an appropriate answer as there is no mention of any comparison between organic and mechanistic structures. Option E is also irrelevant as the statement does not talk about taller or flatter structures.
