The relationship “supervision” is not one-to-one. By Postulate 2 of Section 2, each organization member, except the president, has one and only one supervisor. Supervision would give rise to unnecessarily long chains of command, if a supervisor had only one subordinate. The number of immediate subordinates of a full-time supervisor is called his/her span of control s. From now on this span is assumed to be at least 2, $$s\geqq 2$$.
