1) organic organizations are better able to deal with a complex environment.

Explanation:

An organic organization is one that is flexibile, and that can adapt easily, and quickly, to a changing enviroment.

According to the contingency model, organizations are better off when they are flexible, keep their options open, and adapt rapidly to changes. In other words, organic organizations are better able to deal with a complex enviroment.

This is because of the lack of rigidity inside an organic organization. The organic organization will prioritize pragmatism over rules or hierarchy, allowing it to respond more quickly to a dramatic shift, than a mechanistic, rigid organization.
