Q: Taylor’s scientific management is directly related to what?

Work efficiency The direct answer is B, work efficiency. Taylor’s scientific management aimed to discover the best and most efficient way to perform a job. He used ideas such as time study, method study, standardisation, scientific selection and training, and suitable incentives. The purpose was to reduce wasted time and effort and increase output while organising work systematically. Option A, general administration, is more closely connected with Fayol, who studied management of the whole organisation. Option B is correct because efficiency is the central word in Taylor’s approach: obtain more useful output from available time, labour and resources. Option C, employee entertainment, is not the purpose of scientific management, although good working conditions can matter in management. Option D, only marketing, is too narrow and incorrect; Taylor’s concern was the production task, not merely selling goods. Memory cue: Taylor equals “one best way” and efficiency at work.

Q: Fayol’s approach is understood from which direction?

Top to bottom The direct answer is A, top to bottom. Fayol was a senior manager and developed principles for general administration. His viewpoint begins with the organisation’s management and explains how authority, responsibility, coordination and communication should move through different levels. This is why textbooks describe Fayol’s approach as top-down or organisation-wide. Option A is correct because it matches the managerial direction associated with Fayol. Option B, bottom to top, is not the standard label for Fayol; it would suggest beginning with workers’ individual tasks and moving upward. Option C, outside to inside, is not a recognised Fayol direction in this comparison. Option D, market to bank, has no connection with Fayol’s principles and describes neither general administration nor scientific management. Do not confuse this with Taylor: Taylor concentrated on the worker, task and shop floor, whereas Fayol concentrated on managers and the whole organisation. Memory cue: Fayol looks from the top at the entire organisation.
