Yanıt Açıklaması:

Daft groups the dimensions of organization design into two basic categories. He sorts structural dimensions as formalization, specialization, the hierarchy of authority, centralization, professionalism and personnel ratios. So, (a), (b), (d), (e) are associated with the structural dimensions of organizations. He labels contextual dimensions as size, technology, environment, goals and strategy, and culture. Among these, size can be used to define not the whole but the part of an organization and it is generally measured by the number of employees.
