Setting Clear Standards
The weakest link: setting standardsBetter quality is not preciseFaster response to customer contact
- not much better

they were told.This may be reasonable if you had workers that were
relatively uneducated or untrained.

AuthorityCentralized or Decentralized
DecentralizedAuthority & decision making spread out over the levels of management.
The United States Government is a prime example of separate levels of authority.
Federalism reserved all powers of decision making to the people and the states that are not delineated as responsibilities of the Federal or central government. Local decisions are more responsive to the wishes of the people.

Choosing a span of control
How many subordinates should/can a manager supervise?
At lower levels, where work is more standardized 15 to 40 workers is possible.
At higher levels this span shrinks to 3 to 12 people per supervisor.
