Answer to Question 1
The number of subordinates a manager directly manages is known as span of control. Perhaps the single most important factor limiting the managerial span of control is the inability to exercise adequate supervision over the activities of subordinates as they grow in number. Research has shown that an arithmetic increase in the number of subordinates is accompanied by an exponential increase in the number of subordinate relationships that a manager has to supervise. When subordinates' tasks are complex and dissimilar, a manager's span of control needs to be small. If tasks are routine and similar so that all subordinates perform the same task, the span of control can be widened. Managers supervising subordinates who perform highly complex, interrelated tasks have a much narrower span of control than managers supervising workers who perform separate, relatively routine tasks.
