I remember learning about this in class. Entrepreneurial structure is the one that's most common for new, growing organizations before they become larger and more complex. I think A is the right answer here.

Okay, let me see. Early-stage companies are usually pretty small and flexible, so I'm guessing the entrepreneurial structure, with a flat hierarchy and the founder/CEO making most of the decisions, would be the best fit. I'll go with A.

I'm going to have to go with B) Functional. It's the classic structure for a company that's still finding its footing. Gotta keep those departments in check, am I right?
