Answer to Question 2
The relationship between technology and organizational structure can be differentiated among three kinds of technology on the basis of the relative contributions made by people or machines. Small-batch technology is used to produce small quantities of customized, one-of-a-kind products and is based on the skills of people who work together in small groups. Mass-production technology is based primarily on the use of automated machines that are programmed to perform the same operations time and time again. Continuous-process technology is almost totally mechanized. Products are produced by automated machines working in sequence and controlled through computers from a central monitoring station.
