Organizations that don't formally plan may be more likely to have ________

A) corrupt managers
B) legal problems
C) multiple departments performing the same task
D) a single department carrying out all company functions

Answer: C
Explanation: A major advantage to formal planning is that it reduces redundancy. That means that organizations that don't carry out formal plans would be more likely to have more than one department carrying out the same task, making that the correct response. Formal planning has little effect on corruption or legal problems, so those choices can be ruled out. A single department carrying out all company functions is essentially the opposite of redundancy, so it too can be ruled out.
