Answer:

The answer is A) Organic structure

Step-by-step explanation:

An organic organizational structure can be described as:

  • very flexible
  • extremely flat reporting structure (horizontal), few layers of management
  • a manager usually controls a large number of employees, not much direct supervision
  • relies on employees having high interdependence (work as a team)
  • adapts well to changes

The top management of Mayer Inc. probably chose an organic organizational structure in order to foster creativity and team work.
