उत्तर
Scalar chain refers to the line of authority for the chain of superior ranking from the highest to the lowest. Fayol had insisted upon using this chain in every organisation. All information must pass through every level without skipping any one of them.
In the above figure, A is the head of the organisation with two separate departments. One of the departments consists of B, C, and D, and the other department consists of E, F and G. B and E are at the same level, followed by C and F, and D and G. If D wanted to contact G, the line of communication would be D-C-B-A-E-F-G. If this chain of communication is broken, it will lead to a communication gap in the organisation.
At times it may cause a lot of delay in passing out information, which will eventually lead to delay in decision-making. To resolve this issue, Fayol has suggested a gangplank, which is a shortcut chain in which D can directly contact G.

Bhasin’ limited was engaged in the business of food processing and selling its products under a popular brand. Lately the business was expanding due to good quality and reasonable prices. Also with more people working the market for processed food was increasing. New players were
also coming to cash in on the new trend. In order to keep its market share in the short run the company directed its existing workforce to work overtime. But this resulted in many problems. Due to increased pressure of work the efficiency of the workers declined. Sometimes the subordinates had
to work for more than one superior resulting in declining efficiency. The divisions that were previously working on one product were also made to work on two or more products. This resulted in a lot of overlapping and wastage. The workers were becoming indisciplined. The spirit of teamwork, which
had characterized the company, previously was beginning to wane. Workers were feeling cheated and initiative was declining. The quality of the products was beginning to decline and market share was on the verge of decrease. Actually the company had implemented changes without creating the required infrastructure.
