Explanation of Solution

A complex organization requires a broader organizational structure, or more resources, within each company, project or department. The uncertainty can be caused by various stakeholders, different organizational structures or multiple steps involved in a process. Despite of the dynamic organizational structure, some of the challenges are Sluggishness. When there is a strike, the proprietor mobilizes the staff. Add-on complicity slows things down.

Poor communication and feedback is another concern. When it is complicated enough a company has to organize the job into divisions. This affects the coordination as employees are separated, in particular when the organizational structure includes whole divisions divided by distance.
