Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A wide span of management (or span of control) exists when a manager has a large number of subordinates. A wide span of management does not require excessive supervision of oversight which would be the case for highly trained professionals. A wide span of control--one manager for many, competent professionals--is often adequate when managing highly-trained staff.
