Vibhu discussed an important principle of management. Identify and explain the principle with the help of an example.
उत्तर
Scalar Chain: This is the principle discussed in the above case study.
The scalar chain refers to the official lines of authority between superiors and subordinates from the highest to the lowest positions.
According to Fayol, organizations should have a chain of authority and communication that extends from top to bottom and is followed by managers and subordinates.
This chain should not be broken; however in an emergency, personnel at the same level can contact their immediate supervisors via GANG PLANK.
Concerning the scalar chain, the term GANG-PLANK is employed. A gang-plank arrangement is one in which two managers working at the same level can interact directly for speedy communication.
If D wants to speak with G, the message will normally travel from D to A via C and B, then from A to G via E and F. However, if quick communication is required, a Gang-Plank (dotted line) can be established between D and G without jeopardizing the chain of command.
