Explain the types of grapevine chain that are usually found in organizations.

1.Single Stand Chain: Grapevine communication is of four different types. 

It can seep from individual to individual in a strictly linear fashion. Information takes time to spread in this fashion. It is called Single Strand Chain. 

2.Gossip Chain: In some situations, an individual goes around communicating the message / information he thinks he has obtained. This is called Gossip Chain.  

3.Probability Chain: The listeners are a chosen few only. In some other situation, an individual passes an information without any restriction to all those with whom he comes into contact. This is called Probability Chain and the information / message passed on may be interesting but not important. 

4.Cluster Chain: In yet another situation, one person communicates to a few chosen associates who in turn communicate the same to yet another group. This is called Cluster Chain.
