1.) I would say the management style of Acme is mechanistic. Daft’s definition of mechanistic management is an organization that is formalized. This organization has a standard set of rules‚ procedures and a clear hierarchy of authority. Omega’s management style is organic. The organic style of management does not have rules and regulations written down. John Tyler‚ of Acme Electronics‚ clearly ran a top-down company.
