Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which term describes the number of subordinates a manager is directly responsible for supervising?

  1. Level of hierarchy
  2. Span of control
  3. Delegation of authority
  4. Chain of command
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Span of control
Span of control refers specifically to the number of subordinates directly supervised by one manager. Chain of command is the line of authority from top to bottom of the organisation. Delegation of authority is the process of passing responsibility to a subordinate. Level of hierarchy refers to a layer in the organisational structure, not the number of direct reports.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A business changes from a tall organisational structure to a flat one. Which of the following is most likely to occur?

  1. The number of management layers is reduced
  2. Communication between layers becomes slower
  3. Each manager's span of control decreases
  4. Employees have less autonomy in their roles
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — The number of management layers is reduced
Moving from a tall to a flat structure removes layers of management, so the number of hierarchy levels decreases. Communication typically becomes faster, not slower, with fewer layers. Span of control widens (not decreases) because fewer managers supervise more people. Employees generally gain more autonomy in flatter structures due to greater empowerment.

CIE IGCSE Business Studies: Organisation and management FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Business Studies questions on Organisation and management are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Organisation and management for CIE IGCSE Business Studies, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Business Studies?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Organisation and management practice with other Business Studies topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Organisation and management questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Business Studies syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Business Studies specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Organisation and management typically tested on CIE IGCSE Business Studies papers?
Organisation and management appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Business Studies papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
