Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organization X has a total of 7 members with 2 managers, which means that each manager has a span of control of 3.5 (since they both also report to the president). In contrast, Organization Y has a single boss who manages the entire team of 6 employees, resulting in a narrower span of control. Therefore, Organization X has a relatively narrower span of control compared to Organization Y.
