span of control

VVipin10y ago
what is meant by very flat span of control? "very flat" makes me confused.

It is an unusual way to put it. It means that the company is a wide flat type. That means the span of control is large (or wide) because each supervisor will have many people directly reporting. A tall narrow structure has a small (or narrow) span of control and each supervisor or manager has only a few people directly reporting.
