The students of Class XII of ‘NK Senior Secondary
School' visited the factory of ‘Jaipur Exports Private
Limited', a company manufacturing readymade
garments. They observed that different workers were
allocated different tasks like cutting the fabric as per
specification, stitching dresses, putting buttons,
ironing the finished dresses, packing them and
putting labels. The Chief Executive Officer told the
students that this results in efficient and effective
output. They also observed orderliness in the factory
as there was a fixed place for everything and it was
present there.
The students later discussed with their Business
Studies teacher and understood that principles of
management given by Fayol were being followed in
the factory.
Identify and explain the two principles of
management that have been discussed in the above
case.
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Division of work
According to the principle of Division of Work,
work is divided into small tasks/ jobs.
A trained specialist who is competent is required
to perform each job, leading to specialisation.
This results in effective and efficient output.
(ii)
Order
The principle of order states that ‘A place for
everything (everyone) and everything
(everyone) in its (her/his) place’. Essentially it
means orderliness.
If there is a fixed place for everything and it is
present there, then there will be no hindrance in
the activities of business/ factory. This will lead
to increased productivity and efficiency.
