Question

Give two examples where chain and all communication networks can be more effective than wheel channel network. Provision of supportive argument is compulsory to answer how chain and all communication networks are effective in each example.

Answer 1

Answer

In a chain network, communication travels up and down through the hierarchy. Each person communicates with only the person directly above or below in terms of reporting relationships. The chain network rigidly follows the formal chain of command. In addition, In an all-channel network, communications flow upward, downward, and laterally among all members of the group. This pattern of communication supports an equal participative culture and fosters cross-functional efforts.

The all-channel network is best if you are concerned with having high member satisfaction. Therefore, chain and all communication networks are more effective than wheel chain networks since employees in the group communicate primarily with that person rather than with each other.
