Put light on the ‘scalar chain’ principle of management.

Put light on the ‘scalar chain’ principle of management.

Solution

The scalar chain is one of Henri Fayol's fourteen principles of management. It refers to the unbroken line of authority that runs from the top level of the organization down to the lowest level, forming a clear chain along which communication and orders flow. Because of this chain, everyone in the organization knows who reports to whom, so messages and instructions move in an orderly, step-by-step manner rather than in a confused way.

For example, in a company a message from the general manager reaches a junior staff member by passing down through the department head and the supervisor along this defined line.
