Applicable in Fayol's principle of management today?
The 14 Management Principles from Henri Fayol (1841-1925) are: # Division of Work. Specialization allows the individual to build up experience, and to continuously improve his skills. Thereby he can be more productive. # Authority. The right to issue commands, along with which must go the balanced responsibility for its function. # Discipline. Employees must obey, but this is two-sided: employees will only obey orders if management play their part by providing good leadership. # Unity of Command. Each worker should have only one boss with no other conflicting lines of command. # Unity of Direction. People engaged in the same kind of activities must have the same objectives in a single plan. This is essential to ensure unity and coordination in the enterprise. Unity of command does not exist without unity of direction but does not necessarily flows from it. # Subordination of individual interest (to the general interest). Management must see that the goals of the firms are always paramount. # Remuneration. Payment is an important motivator although by analyzing a number of possibilities, Fayol points out that there is no such thing as a perfect system. # Centralization (or Decentralization). This is a matter of degree depending on the condition of the business and the quality of its personnel. # Scalar chain (Line of Authority). A hierarchy is necessary for unity of direction. But lateral communication is also fundamental, as long as superiors know that such communication is taking place. Scalar chain refers to the number of levels in the hierarchy from the ultimate authority to the lowest level in the organization. It should not be over-stretched and consist of too-many levels. # Order. Both material order and social order are necessary. The former minimizes lost time and useless handling of materials. The latter is achieved through organization and selection. # Equity. In running a business a 'combination of kindliness and justice' is needed. Treating employees well is important to achieve equity. # Stability of Tenure of Personnel. Employees work better if job security and career progress are assured to them. An insecure tenure and a high rate of employee turnover will affect the organization adversely. # Initiative. Allowing all personnel to show their initiative in some way is a source of strength for the organization. Even though it may well involve a sacrifice of 'personal vanity' on the part of many managers. # Esprit de Corps. Management must foster the morale of its employees. He further suggests that: "real talent is needed to coordinate effort, encourage keenness, use each person's abilities, and reward each one's merit without arousing possible jealousies and disturbing harmonious relations."
What are the disadvantages of line organization?
Disadvantages of Line Organization1. Over reliance- The line executive's decisions are implemented to the bottom. This results in overlying on the line officials.2. Lack of specialization- A line organization flows in a scalar chain from top to bottom and there is no scope for specialized functions. For example, expert advices whatever decisions are taken by line managers are implemented in the same way.3. Inadequate communication- The policies and strategies which are framed by the top authority are carried out in the same way. This leaves no scope for communication from the other end. The complaints and suggestions of lower authority are not communicated back to the top authority. So there is one way communication.4. Lack of Coordination- Whatever decisions are taken by the line officials, in certain situations wrong decisions, are carried down and implemented in the same way. Therefore, the degree of effective co- ordination is less.5. Authority leadership- The line officials have tendency to misuse their authority positions. This leads to autocratic leadership and monopoly in the concern.
Why is force a scalar quantity?
Force is not a SCALAR because it always has a DIRECTION, making it a VECTOR. A SCALAR quantity is a one-dimensional physical quantity, i.e. one that can be described by a single real number.
