Question
what makes principles of management flexible ?
Advertisements
Solution
The principles of management are not rigid and extremely flexible. The manager has enough discretion to modify the principle of management to be applied according to the demands of the situation. For example, the decision of centralization or decentralization depends upon the situation and the circumstances arising. The individual principles are like individual tools which can be applied on the basis of the circumstances by the manager.
