Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In newer organizational structures, the chain of command is flatter, with communications flowing in all directions, and authority and responsibility are delegated to the lowest operational level possible.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Decentralization fosters informality and democracy in management and brings decision making closer to the action. Thus decisions may be more effective, because the people who know the situation and have to implement the decisions are the ones who make them.
