Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organic structure would be most suitable for a software design team as it allows for a greater degree of flexibility and decentralization, which is necessary for creative and innovative work with high variety and low analyzability. A narrow span of control, mechanistic structure, coordination through formal hierarchy, and high formalization would be more appropriate for work that has low variety and high analyzability, such as routine or standardized tasks.
