Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fayol and Weber's theories advocate for a hierarchical organizational structure with clear lines of authority and decision-making power. As organizations grow, they will naturally develop several layers of management, which may slow down decision-making processes due to increased bureaucracy and the need for coordination between different levels of management. Therefore, option C is the likely scenario that will result from following these theories. Option A is incorrect because quick decision-making is not necessarily a direct result of following Fayol and Weber's theories. Option B is unlikely since hierarchy and chains of command are critical elements of these theories, and eliminating them would lead to a breakdown in organizational structure. Option D is also unlikely since specialization and departmentalization may increase the need for workforce in some areas.
