Dear Student,

According to the principle of Unity of Command, any person should be answerable to just one boss. If an individual receives command from two or more people then, this principle is violated. However, under functional foremanship, the workers at the lower level management are assigned to take orders from eight foremen. That is, each worker has to follow the commands given by any of the eight foremen (which is in violation to the principle of unity of command).
