Marking-scheme solution
• (i) Discipline
It is the obedience to organizational rules and employment
agreement which are necessary for the working of the
• organization.
It requires good superiors at all levels, clear and fair
agreement and judicious application of penalties.
• (ii) Equity
The principle of Equity states that there should be no
discrimination against anyone on account of gender, religion,
• language, caste, belief, nationality etc.
This principle emphasises kindliness and justice in the
behaviour of managers towards the workers to ensure loyalty
and devotion.
• (i) Fulfilling social responsibilities
Increased awareness of the public forces businesses to fulfill
their social responsibilities. Principles of management help in
• doing so by responding to the demands of the public.
The interpretation of the principles also assumes newer and
contemporary meanings with the change in time. Management
theory and management principles have also evolved in
response to this.
• (ii) Management training, education and research
Principles of management are at the core of management
theory. As such these are used as a basis for management
• training, education and research.
The principles provide the basic groundwork for the
development of management as a discipline. Professional
courses such as MBA (Master of Business Administration),
BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) also teach these
principles as part of their curriculum.
