A narrow span of management is usually ideal when few new problems are expected, as it allows managers to have more control over their subordinates and micromanage them effectively. However, if new problems arise frequently, a wider span of management may be necessary to ensure that there are enough managers to address these issues effectively. The other options - workers being far from each other, the manager having a lot of work outside of management, and a great deal of interaction between management and workers being needed - may all be factors influencing the choice of span of management, but they are not directly related to the narrowness of the span.
