All of the above ARE characteristic of larger organizations.

Answer 1

Adding up of levels to keep spans of control from becoming too small is not a characteristic of a very large organization.

Step-by-step explanation:

Span of control is also known as management ratio. It refers to the number of subordinates working under a superior. In a large organization number of employees is also high, so the span of control generally tend to be large not small. Levels are added to make them small and effective. A large organization can become bureaucratic. The jobs here can also be specialized with skilled workers performing their specialized works. A lot of procedures and paperwork is involved as every task is performed officially according to a set procedure. All these options will not be correct answer.
