5 0

Explanation:

A company's organizational structure can be defined as the organization of the company's activities so that it operates more efficiently and effectively and achieves its objectives and goals.

Therefore, the structural dimensions of a company including formalization, standardization and centralization will directly influence the innovation of an organization in relation to several variables such as its internal environment, processes, products and services, as there are organizational structures that are more focused on innovation than others, such as the horizontal structure in relation to the vertical, since the vertical structure is the most rigid and with a higher hierarchy, while in the horizontal structure there is greater autonomy of employees and greater participation in the decision-making process, which is a more flexible environment open to innovation.

How is it that people working in their own self-interest produce goods, services, and wealth for others?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to earn money and produce goods that improve lives, self-directed gain would provide jobs, and subsequently wages for others.

The way people can become wealthy by their own efforts is to sell what they produce to others. As the business grows, labor is hired to produce more. This is the 'invisible hand' concept that turns self-directed gain into social and economic benefits for all.
