PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
1. Choose one academic administrator and another public administrator and conduct
interview and then ask them how their job differs from that of business managers.
How do they know how well their department, institution or organization is
performing, since profit is probably not one of the criteria for assessing effectiveness
and efficiency?
2. Design a interview schedule and conduct the interview a manager in your locality and
ask him how many subordinates he has. Are different numbers of subordinates
supervised at the top, the middle, and the bottom of the organizational hierarchy?
What really determines the span of management in the organization?
3. “There are two notions about relationship between job satisfaction and productivity: a
happy worker is a productivity one; a happy worker is not necessarily a productive
one. Critically evaluate this statement and bring out the situations under which each
statement is true”.
4. “Planning is the basis, delegation is the key, information is the guide, and action is
the essence of control of.” Trace the relationship between control and other functions
