The assertion is correct. The principle of "Scalar Chain" indeed aims to facilitate effective communication and coordination by defining the chain of command and how information should flow within an organization.
The reason is incorrect. It states the opposite of what the "Scalar Chain" principle aims to achieve. The principle intends to ensure that information flows through the chain of command without distortion, promoting effective communication and coordination, not with distortion.
