Organising

Analyze the visual models to answer the 20 questions below.

1. The diagram shows a massive boulder (Total Work) being hammered into smaller, manageable stones. Which step of the organising process does this represent?

Identification and division of work Departmentalisation Assignment of duties Establishing reporting relationships

2. Similar tasks are being grouped together into designated folders/bins (e.g., all money matters into Finance). This step is called:

Division of work Departmentalisation Assignment of duties Job description

3. The hierarchy below establishes exactly who reports to whom, removing confusion about who gives orders. This represents which step?

Identifying activities Departmentalisation Establishing reporting relationships Creating informal networks

4. A structure where departments are created strictly on the basis of primary activities (e.g., Marketing, HR, R&D) is known as:

Network Structure Matrix Structure Divisional Structure Functional Structure

5. A large company manufactures Cosmetics, Garments, and Footwear. They create separate departments for each product line. This is a:

Functional Structure Divisional Structure Informal Structure Project Structure

6. The image visually represents the number of subordinates a superior can effectively manage. This concept is called:

Span of Management Centralisation Scalar Chain Departmentalisation

7. A network of social relationships that arises spontaneously due to interaction at work (e.g., the office grapevine) is the:

Formal Organisation Functional Structure Matrix Organisation Informal Organisation

8. Which of the following is a key disadvantage of the Functional Structure highlighted in this image (departments isolated by high walls)?

Functional Empire / Silo Mentality Occupational Specialisation Product Specialisation Overlapping of duties

9. In the process of delegation, what flows downwards from superior to subordinate as shown by the arrow?

Accountability Answers Authority Grapevine

10. An obligation flows strictly upwards. A subordinate is answerable to the superior for the final outcome. This element is:

Accountability Authority Responsibility Centralisation

11. The diagram shows all decision-making power restricted and concentrated strictly at the top level (CEO). This is a model of:

Decentralisation Centralisation Divisional Structure Delegation

12. Authority is systematically dispersed to the lowest functional levels. Decisions are pushed down to where the action is. This is:

Decentralisation Centralisation Span of Control Formal Organisation

13. The diagram shows a manager (M) delegating a task to an employee (E). If the employee fails, who holds the ultimate accountability to the higher boss?

The Employee (E) only Accountability is entirely shared The CEO The Manager (M)

14. Delegation allows a manager to focus on high-priority tasks while subordinates handle routine work. Which importance of delegation does this highlight?

Employee development Motivation of employees Effective management Facilitation of growth

15. A Functional Structure promotes "Occupational Specialisation," meaning employees get very good at one specific type of work over time. Why?

Because they switch departments frequently Because they repeatedly perform similar functional tasks Because they manage the whole product lifecycle Because of informal relationships

16. The scale compares Delegation and Decentralisation. Delegation is narrow (done by 1 manager), while Decentralisation applies to the whole company. What basis of difference is this?

Purpose Freedom of action Scope Nature

17. This structure clearly shows profit/loss calculations for independent products (e.g., Laptops generated $50k profit, Mobiles caused $10k loss). Which structure easily allows this?

Functional Structure Divisional Structure Informal Structure Centralised Structure

18. The manager delegates authority but places a 'Lock' on accountability. What does this principle state?

Span of Management Principle of scalar chain Departmentalisation Principle of absolute accountability

19. In Decentralisation, the top management has less day-to-day burden and more time to focus on strategic planning. This advantage is known as:

Relief to top management Quick decision making Better control Facilitates growth

20. The image shows working relationship lines being clarified, removing overlaps and friction. Which importance of Organising does this reflect?

Benefits of specialisation Adaptation to change Clarity in working relationships Optimum utilisation of resources
