Analysis a. What are Mason's organizational problems? b. What is his span of control?

Mason was exhausted. A few months ago, he was asked by the company president to coordinate the firms annual employee party. The event had grown from a simple summer picnic in the good old days to a complex musical extravaganza. He was put in charge of selecting a theme, renting an auditorium, choosing the music, choreographing the numbers, designing the sets, conducting auditions for the singers, and leading the rehearsals. All the work usually had to be done in the evenings, even though he had been promised release time from his job. It seemed as if there were people running everywhere, and there was a question, idea, comment, or complaint every minute. mason had tried to get organized a few weeks ago and had appointed four section leadersone each for the sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. Each section had 15 singers in it, including the section leader. Then he recruited three aidesa choreographer, a stage manager, and a publicity person. Finally, in desperation, he talked his friend Larry into being the assistant director, hoping that Larry could relieve him of some pressure by leading the chorus in rehearsals.
