Answer to Question 1

The type of organization structure which may be suitable for a particular firm can depend on information life-span. If information is durable and applies to all or most of a firm's activities a U-form firm with centralized decisions may be better able to access knowledge that has accumulated over time and is still valuable. If information has a short lifespan and is specialized to particular products or areas, an M-form firm that leaves more decisions to divisional managers is superior.

Answer to Question 2

C
