Which of the following are not the correct differences between Fayol's principle of management and Taylor's principle of scientific management?

(A) Fayol's principles are applicable in specialized situations, but Taylor's principles are universally applicable.

(B) Fayol's perspective is top level management, but Taylor's perspective is the shop floor level of a factory.

(C) Fayol's principles increase the productivity of the organisation, but Taylor's principles improve the overall administration of the organisation.

(D) Fayol was a practitioner whereas Taylor was a scientist.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) and (C) only

The correct answer is option 4- (A) and (C) only.

(A) Fayol's principles are applicable in specialized situations, but Taylor's principles are universally applicable. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Actually, Fayol’s principles are universally applicable, while Taylor’s are more applicable at the shop-floor level. So this statement is reversed.

(B) Fayol's perspective is top level management, but Taylor's perspective is the shop floor level of a factory. THIS IS TRUE. Fayol focused on top-level management, Taylor on shop-floor level.

(C) Fayol's principles increase the productivity of the organisation, but Taylor's principles improve the overall administration of the organisation. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Again, the roles are swapped here. Fayol's principles focus on improving overall administration, while Taylor's scientific management is specifically designed to increase productivity and efficiency.

(D) Fayol was a practitioner whereas Taylor was a scientist. THIS IS TRUE. Fayol is known as a practitioner (mining engineer/manager) who shared his experiences. Taylor is known as the "Father of Scientific Management" because of his systematic, scientific approach to work.
