A well-planned organizational design helps a business to better compete because
competitors don’t have organizational structures.
it cuts down on communication.
the business is more productive.
the business has more money.
Answer explanation
A well-planned organizational design helps a business to improve communication, foster innovation, and become more productive—all actions that help the business to be more competitive. A business can’t control whether or not its competitors have organizational structures in place. A well-planned organizational design improves communication; it doesn’t reduce it. How much money a business has doesn’t necessarily depend on its organizational design.
