Examine the provided organizational chart for 'TechSolutions Inc.' The chart shows the CEO at the top, followed by four Senior VPs (Marketing, Sales, Product Development, Operations). Each Senior VP oversees two Directors. For example, the Senior VP of Marketing oversees the Director of Digital Marketing and the Director of Brand Strategy. The Senior VP of Operations oversees the Director of Supply Chain and the Director of Customer Support. If the company decides to merge the functions of Digital Marketing and Brand Strategy under a single new Director role, which of the following statements about the span of control would be true?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
If two Director roles merge into one, the Senior VP of Marketing will now manage one Director instead of two, thereby decreasing their span of control.
