Question 1 (a) (b)

(a) Using a business organisation of your choice, compare and contrast
the roles and functions of a first line supervisor with those of a
middle manager (16 marks)

Hint: Allocate discussion of the supervisor's role for 8 marks and the
middle manager's role for 8 marks. Help in answering this question may
be found in the introduction unit of your ABE manual.

(b) Explain why bureaucratic structure and a role culture might be
appropriate for middle managers in a large scale organisation (9 marks)
