Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As an organisation grows in size, it becomes more complex and thus needs more formalization, specialization, and standardization, resulting in a mechanistic structure. This structure is based on a hierarchical chain of authority, strict rules, policies, and procedures, which can lead to bureaucracy and limit adaptability and collaboration. Decentralization may improve adaptability, but it is not necessarily the outcome of growth in size.
