Thank you for your invite. I had read an article on www.learn.org on Organizational Architecture it states as below ;

" A number of authors and business theorists have written and published their philosophies on organizational architecture. The results are a variety of different models that can be applied to a business structuring. Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, teaches a3-part model, which includes assignment of decision rights, compensation systems and performance evaluation. Another model is the Tricord Model, which also uses three main points, including strategy, systems and culture. This model illustrates that these three components all contribute to a company's identity."

 

THUS IF I AGREE WITH ABOVE THEN I FIND THAT STRATEGY IS KEY COMPONENT THAT LAYS GUIDELINES FOR ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE. SO MY ANSWER IS ALSO " C ".
