Answer to Question 1

A
A small rural hospital with only 30 beds would most likely have a flat structure. The flat structure has
few layers while a tall structured organization would have many layers in the chain of command. The
matrix, or product line structure, may not be appropriate because of the limited number of patients
cared for. Additionally, a small rural hospital would probably have a limited number of staff
members.

Answer to Question 2

B
The tall structured organization would most likely be the most centralized. A tall organization would
have many layers in the chain of command. The Flat structure has fewer layers, and the matrix
structure may have at least two different reporting paths. There is no structure called a compromised
structure.
