Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

What happens when every message must follow the chain of command?

Hint 2

Does a formal structure show friendships and social groups?

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Procedural delays: The chain of command must be followed for every communication, which increases the time taken to make decisions.

    1 mark

  2. Lack of recognition to creative talent: Rigidly laid down policies allow no deviation, so creative talent is not adequately recognised.

    1 mark

  3. Incomplete picture of the organisation: It stresses structure and work, not human relationships, so it does not show how the organisation really works.

    1 mark

Answer: Formal organisation causes procedural delays, ignores creative talent and does not give a complete picture of how the organisation works.
