- Practical approach: Principles of management are developed through research results derived by handling real-life business problems. This means they are practical in approach and not just a theoretical analysis of problems.
- Adaptability: Principles of management are adaptable to most business problems with slight variations. Different organisations find different aspects of these principles useful. Managers find them significant in dealing with different decision making scenarios in real business.
उत्तर २
- Universally applicable: Principles of management have universal applicability, i.e. they can be applied to all organizations irrespective of their size, nature, and geographical location.
- Guidelines: Management principles are the guidelines for decision making in the course of management. That is, the principles of management are not applied as they are in real business situations; rather, they need to be modified by the manager according to the situation and the requirement.
- Formed by experimentation: Management principles are developed over time by exhaustive observations and experimentation by managers in different situations.
- Flexible: Management principles are not rigid. They are flexible enough to be used and molded by the manager according to the requirement of the situation.
- Influence Buman Behaviour: The principles of management are meant for influencing human behaviour and getting higher performance from them. They guide them on how to respond under different situations. For example, principles like division of work, unity of command, discipline, unity of direction, etc. help the managers to regulate the behaviour of operative employees. However, because of the complex nature of human behaviour, management principles might have limited application.

After completing her Bachelors in Fashion Designing from a well-known college in France, Aditi has opened a boutique in a posh market in Kolkata. She has divided the work in smaller units and each employee is well trained to perform his/her task efficiently. The sales persons are allowed to close a deal with a buyer by giving a maximum of 5 percent discount, whereas the decision to give any further discount rests with Aditi as the final authority. In the earlier period of her business venture, employees were asked to put in extra hours of work. In return she had promised to give them a special incentive within a year. Therefore, when the business was doing well, she honours her commitment by giving bonus to her employees. She also instructed her employees that communication from top to bottom should follow the official lines of command. However, she tends to be more biased towards her female employees, when it comes to solve the conflicts among employees. |
