For a work organization and a specific department or function with which you are familiar, create two organizational charts-a master chart for the overall organization and a supplementary chart depicting the structure and arrangement of the specific department or function. (If you have no familiarity with an actual work organization, invent an organization and department in chart form using the chapter's material for guidance.)

Questions

-Is the organization more appropriately described as centralized or decentralized? Why?

-What management position appears to have the broadest span of control in terms of number of direct reporting employees? Why?

-What is the longest single departmental chain of command in the organization, and how many levels does it consist of?

-Assuming that dramatic losses of business activity have necessitated reorganizing, revise your original master chart to "flatten" the organization by at least one level in two principal chains of command.
