Principles of Management

Question:

'If a company is manufacturing motorcycles as well as cars then it should have two separate divisions for both of them'.

Which principle of management of Henry Fayol is highlighted in the above example?

Options:

Discipline

Unity of command

Authority and responsibility

Unity of direction

Correct Answer:

Unity of direction

Explanation:

Unity of Direction: All the units of an organisation should be moving towards the same objectives through coordinated and focussed efforts. Each group of activities having the same objective must have one head and one plan. This ensures unity of action and coordination. For example, if a company is manufacturing motorcycles as well as cars then it should have two separate divisions for both of them. Each division should have its own incharge, plans and execution resources. On no account should the working of two divisions overlap.
