Answer to Question 1

A tall organization is an organization in which the hierarchy has many levels relative to the size of the organization. Whereas, a flat organization is an organization that has few levels in its hierarchy relative to its size.

Answer to Question 2

Entropy is a movement towards disorder and eventual system breakdown. This is the end result of all systems that do not exchange energy and resources with their environment. In an adaptive organization, the process of exchanging energy and resources with the environment leads to dynamic equilibrium via planned change.
