Assertion: The application and use of principles of management is not universal.
Reasoning: The principles of management are not as exact as the principles of science.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Since the principles of management are not as exact as the principles of science, their application and use is not universal. They have to be modified according to a given situation. However, they provide managers with certain standardised techniques that can be used in different situations. These principles are also used for training and development of managers.
