Answer 1

Answer: Pooled interdependence

Explanation:

Pooled interdependence is a loose organizational model in which each business unit carries out it's own separate functions, might not interact with the other units and does not depend on other units directly even though it contributes to the accomplishment of the organizational goals and success.

Pooled interdependence is often seen as the loosest form of interdependence in organizations. Although the departments may not interact directly and may not depend on each other directly in the pooled interdependence model, every department contributes it's own individual pieces to the achievement of the same overall puzzle.

This creates a blind, indirect dependence on each other and the performance of a department has an impact on others as a department's failures may lead to the failure of the entire organization.
