Question

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a narrow span of control?

• A. There is less opportunity to delegate
• B. This form of span of control creates a smaller hierarchy within the business
• C. Supervision and control are tighter
• D. The distance between the top and bottom of the organisation is greater

Answer 1

The correct option is C Supervision and control are tighter

In a tall organisational structure which has a narrow span of control, it is not possible to have an effective supervision and control. Communication takes longer than usual which hampers decision making of the company.
