★Span of control means the number of subordinates a supervisor can effectively oversee, hence it links to supervision, I-a.
★Hierarchy is the chain along which authority and communication pass through proper channels, hence II-c.
★Delegation is the transfer of authority from a higher to a lower level, that is the flow of authority, hence III-d.
★Unity of command means each employee reports to one single boss, hence IV-b.
★These are core principles of the classical school of organisation.
★They aim at clear lines of authority, control and responsibility within a structure.
