The given excerpt describes the modular organization.

Option a

Explanation:

A flexible organizational structure ensures a company that can be more easily divided and recombined. Flexible studies have been in place at the cutting edge of the automotive, computer and appliance companies, but the principal can be used in any company, big or small.

Functional departmentalization would probably allow for more efficiency and effectiveness because workers with similar knowledge and skills can be organized by function.

A downside is that the different functional classes are unable to interact, potentially reducing efficiency and creativity. The use of teams that transcend conventional departmental boundaries is a recent trend in overcoming this drawback.
