Under perfect management the supervisor knows what to expect from every one of his/her subordinates. Under imperfect information only a probability distribution is known for the achievement potential of a “representative operative” under one’s supervision. This distribution will be less precise, have larger variance, the greater the number of subordinates is under one supervisor, i.e., the greater the span of control x0/x1.
