Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3
In a Jamaican bauxite mining company, the General Manager gives instructions directly to the Production Manager, who then passes instructions to the Shift Supervisors. This chain of authority from the top to the bottom of the organisation is referred to as the:
- Scalar principle
- Line of communication
- Span of control
- Chain of command
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D — Chain of command
Award 1 mark for 'chain of command'. The chain of command refers to the formal line of authority that runs from the top of an organisation downward, showing who gives instructions to whom at each level. A is incorrect — span of control refers to the number of subordinates a manager directly supervises, not the vertical path of authority. C confuses the informal or general flow of information with the formal authority structure. D is incorrect — the scalar principle is the underlying concept that authority should flow in an unbroken line, but the named structure itself is the chain of command.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3
Asha owns a bakery in Port of Spain, Trinidad. As her business grew, she hired a production manager, a sales manager, and a finance manager, each responsible for their own department. Which type of organisational structure does Asha's bakery MOST likely use?
- Functional organisational structure
- Matrix organisational structure
- Centralised organisational structure
- Line and staff organisational structure
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Functional organisational structure
Award 1 mark for identifying the functional structure. In a functional structure, the business is divided into departments based on specialist functions such as production, sales, and finance — each headed by a manager with expertise in that area. B is incorrect because a line and staff structure combines direct authority with advisory roles (staff specialists), which is not described here. C confuses the matrix structure, which involves employees reporting to both a functional manager and a project manager simultaneously, with the straightforward departmental grouping described. D is incorrect because centralisation refers to where decision-making authority is held, not how the organisation is divided into departments.
