Line and Staff Authority
• Line ManagerA manager who is (1) in charge of essential activities
such as sales and (2) authorized to issue orders to subordinates down the chain of command.
• Staff ManagerA manager without the authority to give orders down
the chain of command (except in his or her own department); generally can only assist and advise line managers in specialized areas such as human resources management.
