Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a line organizational structure, the communication lines are clear and there is a direct chain of command. However, managers may not have access to the necessary resources and may feel isolated in their decision making. This is in contrast to a network structure, where communication is more fluid and there may be greater access to resources throughout the organization. Wide and specialized structures are not related to the issue of managers feeling isolated or lacking resources.
