Scientific decisions
Management principles help in thoughtful decision-making as they
emphasise logic rather than blind faith.
Management decisions taken on the basis of principles are free from
bias and prejudice as they are based on the objective assessment of the
situation.
(ii)
Providing managers with useful insights into reality
Adherence to principles of management adds to the knowledge of
managers, ability and understanding of managerial situations and
circumstances.
They will also enable managers to learn from past mistakes and
conserve time by solving recurring problems quickly and help to
increase managerial efficiency.

Q. (b) Explain the following techniques of Scientific Management:
(i)
Differential piece wage system
(ii)
Time study
(i)
Differential piece wage system
Differential Piece Wage System is a technique which differentiates
between efficient and less efficient workers. It rewards the efficient
workers and motivates the less efficient ones to improve their
efficiency.
In this plan, there are different rates of wage payment- higher for
those who performed standard output or more and lower for those
who perform below the standard output. The difference in the wage
(ii)
payment motivates the inefficient workers to perform better.
Time study
Time study is a technique which determines standard time required to
perform a well-defined job. Time measuring devices are used for this.
The objective of time study is to determine the number of workers to
be employed, frame suitable incentive schemes and determine labour
costs.
