Answer to Question 1

e

Answer to Question 2

An organization can attempt to improve learning and decision-making by establishing a collateral organizational structurethat is, an informal organization of managers set up parallel to the formal organizational structure to shadow the decision-making and actions of managers in the formal organization. Managers in the formal structure know that their decisions are being evaluated by others and become used to examining the assumptions that they use to test alternatives and arrive at a solution. An organization establishes a collateral structure to improve the organization's ability to learn and adjust to new situations, and to enhance its ability to make decisions in an unstructured way. A collateral organizational structure allows an organization to maintain its capacity for change at the same time it maintains its stability.
