Metro General Hospital (Scenario)
Joyce is the chief administrator in charge of a department at Metro General Hospital.

She also feels that the numerous levels of hierarchy are unnecessary and place barriers between herself and her staff. Joyce is not exactly sure why things have to be so "organized" and is planning to talk to her boss about making some changes to increase flexibility and reduce the number of rules and procedures.
-The current structure of Metro General Hospital is based on a _____________ span of control and most likely ____________ departmentalization.
