a. Henry Fayol was a French mining engineer who developed 14 principles of management after conducting many
experiments. He is also known as the “father of modern management”.

calculated. This helps managers to know the standard time that should be taken to complete a given task.
d. F W Taylor is known as the “father of scientific management”. He developed principles that were based on scientific
experiments. He believed that problems should be solved in a scientific manner rather than on the basis of the rule of thumb.

types of business organizations and to all levels of management.

Bhasin’ limited was engaged in the business of food processing and selling its products under a popular brand. Lately the business was expanding due to good quality and reasonable prices. Also with more people working the market for processed food was increasing. New players were
also coming to cash in on the new trend. In order to keep its market share in the short run the company directed its existing workforce to work overtime. But this resulted in many problems. Due to increased pressure of work the efficiency of the workers declined. Sometimes the subordinates had
to work for more than one superior resulting in declining efficiency. The divisions that were previously working on one product were also made to work on two or more products. This resulted in a lot of overlapping and wastage. The workers were becoming indisciplined. The spirit of teamwork, which
had characterized the company, previously was beginning to wane. Workers were feeling cheated and initiative was declining. The quality of the products was beginning to decline and market share was on the verge of decrease. Actually the company had implemented changes without creating the required infrastructure.
