The best definition of a firm's organizational structure is

it shows the management structure & responsibilities

it shows exactly what job everyone does

it shows a plan of the offices and factory

Giving authority to junior managers to do a particular task

Passing down full responsibility to subordinates

Ordering workers to do certain jobs

Keeping full control with senior managers

An advantage of delegation is

managers can concentrate on more important tasks

managers lose some of their responsibilities

managers can control subordinates more closely

One of the disadvantages of delegation is that

there is less control over the work done by staff

workers are given more authority

workers may gain job enrichment

The chain of command in an organisation is

the line of authority flowing down the organisation

the link that exists between different departments

the method of communication used in the organisation

The span of control can be defined as

the number of subordinates directly controled by one manager

the number of departments in a business

the number of managers who report directly to each worker

the number of levels in a firm's hierarchy

One of the benefits of wider spans of control is that

delegation is wanted as many people are heard by the manager

it will lead to a long chain of command

there will be more managers in the organisation

When businesses "delayer" their organisational structure then the span of control will

increase and the chain of command will shorten

fall and the chain of command will lengthen

fall and the chain of command will be shorter

increase and the chain of command will be longer

An advantage of a short chain of command is that

communication between managers and staff will improve

the company will gain unlimited liability

managers will have greater bonuses

fringe benefits will become more common

Advantages of delayering :

May increase workforce motivation due to less remoteness from top management and greater chance of having more responsible work to perform

Could be one-off costs of making managers redundant; e.g., redundancy payments

Increases the span of control and opportunities for delegation
