Answer to Question 2

The advantages of forming an organization are:
1. To increase specialization and the division of labor: the collective nature of organizations allows individuals to focus on a narrow area of expertise, which allows them to become more skilled or specialized at what they do.
2. To use large-scale technology: organizations are able to take advantage of the economies of scale and scope that result from the use of modern automated and computerized technology.
3. To manage the organizational environment: managing complex environments is a task beyond the abilities of most individuals, but an organization has the resources to develop specialists to anticipate or attempt to influence the many pressures from the environment.
4. To economize on transaction costs: organizations' ability to control the exchanges between people reduces the transaction costs associated with these exchanges.
5. To exert power and control: organizations can exert great pressure on individuals to conform to task and production requirements in order to increase production efficiency.
