Stephanie is the owner of a relatively large retail community pharmacy chain. She owns 15 retail outlets across 3 towns that span a total of 12 miles. This is the largest retail chain operation in the area. The chain carries a diverse array of consumer products including food, cosmetics, office supplies, photo services, and OTC and prescription drugs. Stephanie makes all of the decisions for all 15 of the chain’s retail outlets. She has learned that if all of the technician staff are trained the same way and do the same job functions in the same way across the 15 outlets, the stores run more efficiently. Which of the following BEST describes the organizational structure of the retail community pharmacy chain?
