How is the Principle of ‘Unity of Command’ useful to management? Explain briefly.

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

• The principle of unity of command states that every subordinate must receive orders from one boss.

• This is because if he receives orders from more than one boss it would be difficult for him to clearly understand the task to be executed.

• It would also help to increase accountability to his task.

• It would help to maintain a clear cut system of discipline and order throughout the organisation.
