Explanation:

In a tall organization, there are more hierarchical levels. This often leads to managers having narrower spans of management as there are more layers of supervision and control. Flat organizations, on the contrary, have fewer levels and managers with broader spans. Tall organizations also tend to have higher administrative costs due to more management layers. Standard operating procedures are not specifically a defining characteristic of a tall organization compared to the span - of - management aspect.
