Fayol Bridge
The Fayolsche Bridge , or more rarely also Passerelle , connects in hierarchies not directly subordinate positions of a communication structure , in that information is exchanged laterally with the tolerance of the superiors . It is named after the French founder of administration, Henri Fayol .
Fayol's fifth management principle of management unity leads to the establishment of a hierarchy of subordinate and superordinate positions in a line organization . Long official channels are the result. Go the long way through the hierarchy of information is lost or there are losses of information with reducing quality of information on ( whispers ).
Fayol describes the direct connection, the so-called Fayol Bridge, as part of its ninth management principle:
“The use of the direct connection path is quick, easy and safe; because this enables the two employees F and P to deal with questions in one session or in a few hours, which in the way of the ranks of twenty transfers, the use of many people, an enormous amount of paperwork and the expenditure of weeks or months to arrive at a solution that is generally less good than the one that can be achieved by directly relating F and P to one another. "
The organizational means of the Fayol Bridge creates the conditions for cross-information .
