What is one advantage of having a tall organizational structure for ABC?

• A. Faster decision-making
• B. Clear hierarchy and defined roles
• C. Increased flexibility
• D. Shorter chain of command

Answer: (B)

A tall structure emphasizes a clear hierarchy and defined roles. With many levels of management, everyone knows who is responsible for what and who to report to at each stage. This clarity helps with accountability and control, because authority and duties are laid out along explicit lines. The trade-off is that decisions often take longer and the organization is less flexible, since approvals pass through several managers and the chain of command is longer. That is why the advantage described here is the well-structured, clearly delineated reporting and responsibility system.
