Question

Explain Wheel & Spoke network in communication.

Answer 1

Wheel and spoke network : This organization where there is a single controlling authority who gives instructions and orders to all employees working under him / her. All employees get instructions directly from the leader and report back to him / her. It is direct and efficient for a small business / company, but inappropriate way of communication in a large organization with many people. A company with many employees needs more decision makers or nothing would get done. Can a large conglomerate like Reliance or Tata Sons have one person making decisions ? Moreover, if the central figure is not competent, the entire business will suffer.
