The general pattern in technology research is that when technologies are routine, analyzable, independent, and well defined, then:
A) use organic structures with less control, fewer procedures, decentralized decision making, and face-to-face communications.
B) a sociotechnical approach should be used.
C) mechanistic structures with tighter control, formalized procedures, centralized decision making, and written communications are appropriate.
D) coordination must be achieved through CIM.

When technologies are routine, analyzable, independent, and well defined, mechanistic structures with tighter control, formalized procedures, centralized decision making, and written communications are appropriate. This is because the tasks involved are predictable and can be standardized, allowing for improved efficiency and effectiveness through a more structured approach to coordination.
