3. Which NIMS Management Characteristic refers to the number of subordinates that directly report to a supervisor?

Span of control

Explanation:

The definition of "Span of control," also recognized as management ratio, refers to the amount of directly superior-controlled subordinates.

Comprehending small business owners is an especially important principle since small businesses often find themselves in trouble when the entrepreneur ends up with far too large a span of command.

Span of control is a subject taught in schools of management and commonly used in big organizations such as the military, government agencies and academic institutions.
