Answer to Question 1

In a non traditional organization structure, employees have roughly the same rank and there is no strict hierarchy of authority. This format has the advantage of promoting teamwork and consensual decision making, but it can create confusion about authority and responsibility. This design seems to work well in small companies and organizations.

Answer to Question 2

To be useful, information must be:
1 . Relevant. Although it is sometimes difficult to know precisely what information is needed, managers should try to identify the information most likely to help in making decisions.
2 . Accurate. If information is inaccurate or incorrect, the quality of the decision will certainly be questionable.
3 . Timely. Information must be available when it is needed.
4 . Complete. Information must cover all of the areas important to the decision-making process.
5 . Concise. Information should be concise, providing a summary of the items central to the decision.
