Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false.

Statement 1 is true: An organization's structure does indeed influence its communication flow and coordination. The way an organization is structured affects how information is passed between different levels and units within the organization, which in turn impacts coordination and decision-making processes.

Statement 2 is false: A flat organizational structure promotes a broader span of control, not a narrower one. In a flat structure, there are fewer levels of management, and each manager or supervisor has a wider span of control, meaning they oversee a larger number of subordinates. This contrasts with a tall organizational structure, where there are more levels of management and a narrower span of control for each manager.
