pls answer these 

1. The technical term which denotes the number of subordinates that a superior can effectively supervise                      .
2. Anything that goes to increase the importance of subordinates is called                            .
3. If we follow the principle of scalar chain strictly, there is a possibility of unnecessary delay in the communications. What is the 
alternative proposed by Fayol to overcome this issue? Explain the principle. 

Dear student, 

1. The term denoting the number of subordinates that can be handled by a superior is span of management

2. Anything which goes to increase the importance of subordinates is decentralisation. Under decentralisation the authority and power is delegated to the lower level hierarchy (subordinates). 

3. As per the principle of Scalar Chain the communication is strictly as per the formal line of authority. However, at times it may lead to delay in communication. An alternative route suggested by Fayol in case of emergency is Gang Plank. Gang Plank is an emergency route through which the workers can communicate with each other.
