Answer to Question 1

To understand an organization chart, look for lines of authority, the existing division of work which may be called
divisions, departments, teams, units, or some other appropriate title, and the relationship of the work groups to
each other.

Answer to Question 2

Participatory management uses project teams to bring together employees with the talents needed to work on a
specified project; line authority allows supervisors to supervise employees who do the work immediately below
them in the organizational structure; staff authority does not produce the produce or service, but does contribute to
the company's overall mission by providing assistance in an advisory a capacity.
