Q4:

Fatima manages a hair dresser salon where she is the general manager and supervises 6 staff. She does not require another manager as she is capable to look after the day-to day operation of her salon. However, Fatima does not have good accounting and finance skills and therefore requires the help of the Company AccountXY to do the accounting and finance part for her. She works very long hours (approx. 70 hours a week). Although she could give more responsibilities to her staff she prefers to do most of the administration work herself as she does not think that they are qualified to help her with supply orders and appointment schedules. She regularly rewards her staff for good performance such as bonuses at the end of the financial year. Her staff respect her as the manager as Fatima is also a very skilled hairdresser herself, specializing in hair cuts.

a) What span of control does Fatima have? Is this an advantage/disadvantage for her organization?

b) What type of modern structure did she implement in her business?

c) Does Fatima delegate effectively? Why? Why not?

d) What type of powers does Fatima have?
