WIDE- more efficient, fewer levels = fewer managers, save in management salaries. • Reduce effectiveness- employee performance suffers because supervisors no longer have time to provide necessary support and leadership. • Reduce cost, cut overhead, speed up decision making, increase flexibility, get closer to customers, empower employees.

  6. NARROW- maintain close control. • Drawback: expensive because add levels of management, make vertical communication in the organization more complex, slow decision making and tend to isolate upper management. • Encourage overly tight supervision and discourage employee autonomy.
