Answer to Question 2

The various problems with tall hierarchies are:
1. Communication problems: As the chain of command lengthens, communication between managers at the top and bottom of the hierarchy takes longer. decision-making slows, and the slowdown hurts the performance of organizations that need to respond quickly to customers' needs or the actions of competitors.
2. Motivation problems: As the number of levels in the hierarchy increases, the relative difference in the authority possessed by managers at each level decreases, as does their area of responsibility. This leads to lower levels of motivation.
3. Bureaucratic costs: The greater the number of managers and hierarchical levels, the greater the bureaucratic coststhat is, the costs associated with running and operating an organization.
