Fayol’s principles of management

In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic introduces Henri Fayol’s principles of management as practical guidelines for understanding how organisations are planned, coordinated and controlled. Students explore ideas such as division of work, authority and responsibility, discipline, unity of command, unity of direction, scalar chain, equity and esprit de corps. The topic also helps them connect these principles with everyday managerial decisions and organisational functioning within the broader chapter, Principles of Management.
