Options:

Management Principles are very flexible whereas pure science principles are rigid.

Management Principles are applied with creativity as these principles influence the behaviour of human being whereas scientific principles are applied in absolute or in static manner.

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

Both statements are true when management principles when compared to scientific principles. The principles of management are not rigid prescriptions, which have to be followed absolutely. They are flexible and can be modified by the manager when the situation so demands. They give the manager enough discretion to do so. For example, the degree of concentration of authority (centralisation) or its dispersal (decentralisation) will depend upon the situations and circumstances of each enterprise. Moreover individual principles are like different tools serving different purposes, the manager has to decide which tool to use under what circumstances.
