Answer to Question 1

The approaches successful companies have taken to structuring themselves during growth provide two major lessons. First, a vision is needed of how the increasingly complex organization can coordinate people around a common strategy. Second, an organization must ensure that organizational structures and reporting relationships don't become so restrictive that they undermine the creative passions that made them successful in the first place. As you can see, organizational structures set up a company for future success.

Answer to Question 2

Explanation: The chain of command is an unbroken line of authority that extends from the top of the organization to the lowest echelon and clarifies who reports to whom.
