Answer: Option 4

Disadvantages of a Line Organization - A line organization can suffer from a lack of specialization. This is because each department manager is concerned only with the activities of his own department. Therefore, employees are skilled in tasks pertaining to their departments alone. -These organizations are based on the autocratic system of management. -The division of work is not based on any scientific plan but on the whims of the manager. -It might stop progress and prevent the unit to work effectively. -Such organizations might also encourage nepotism or favoritism based on relationship or friendship.
