Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When tasks are routine or similar, there is a higher chance that they can be grouped together and controlled effectively by one manager or supervisor. This makes it easier to increase the span of control. In contrast, tasks that are dissimilar, complex or highly interrelated may require more specialized management skills and closer supervision, limiting the number of subordinates one manager can effectively control.
