Abstract

In this article, an attempt has been made to compare two methods of determining potential span of control, that is, the Stieglitz method and the Graicunas method. It appears that the application of those two approaches leads to similar ramifications. They both have essential failures, which fact leads to the conclusion that new and improved methods for determining the optimal number of subordinates for a given manager must be sought. This results in the more effective decision-making processes.
