MANAGEMENT

Detailed explanation-1: -Wide span of control: Often found within a flat organizational structure, a wide span of control allows managers to have more direct reports and, therefore, more control over the work they produce.

Detailed explanation-2: -A wide span of control means the manager supervises many direct reports, while the narrow span of control, means the manager supervises fewer employees. A wide span of control is essentially a higher span of control which implies a flat structure, or an organizational structure with fewer layers of management.

Detailed explanation-3: -Span of control refers to the number of subordinates that can be managed effectively and efficiently by supervisors or managers in an organization. Typically, it is either narrow or wide resulting in a flatter or more hierarchical organizational structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the work assigned to a team is routine and predictable, the manager can be given a larger span of control than the work assigned being more complex and unpredictable. Further, a team with a high degree of autonomy will require more span of control than one that a manager leads.
