In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic compares Henri Fayol’s administrative principles with F.W. Taylor’s scientific management within the chapter Principles of Management. Students examine Fayol’s broad guidelines for managers, including unity of command, division of work and esprit de corps, alongside Taylor’s focus on efficiency through standardisation, time study, functional foremanship and differential piece-rate wages. The comparison clarifies their aims, methods, scope and continuing relevance, while helping learners apply both approaches to workplace situations.

In the standard comparison of Fayol’s principles and Taylor’s techniques, which pairing is correct?फेयोल के सिद्धांतों और टेलर की तकनीकों की सामान्य तुलना में कौन-सा युग्म सही है?
Correct answer:सही उत्तर:A
A is correct because Fayol’s main contribution was a set of general principles for managing an organisation, while Taylor’s scientific management included techniques such as time study and motion study. This is a comparison of their main contributions, not a claim that either thinker dealt exclusively with one category.A सही है, क्योंकि फेयोल का मुख्य योगदान किसी संगठन के प्रबंधन के लिए सामान्य सिद्धांत देना था, जबकि टेलर के वैज्ञानिक प्रबंधन में समय-अध्ययन और गति-अध्ययन जैसी तकनीकें शामिल थीं। यह उनके मुख्य योगदानों की तुलना है, यह दावा नहीं कि दोनों में से किसी ने केवल एक ही श्रेणी पर काम किया।
A manager expects each worker to receive orders from one superior, but the production head assigns several specialist foremen to guide the same worker. Which contrast does this show?एक प्रबंधक चाहता है कि प्रत्येक कर्मचारी को आदेश केवल एक वरिष्ठ से मिले, लेकिन उत्पादन प्रमुख उसी कर्मचारी का मार्गदर्शन करने के लिए कई विशेषज्ञ फोरमैन नियुक्त करता है। यह किस अंतर को दर्शाता है?
Correct answer:सही उत्तर:A
A is correct. Fayol’s unity of command means that an employee should receive orders from one superior. Taylor’s functional foremanship assigns guidance to multiple specialist foremen, so the two approaches create a contrast in the worker’s reporting and instruction arrangement.A सही है। फेयोल के आदेश की एकता के अनुसार कर्मचारी को आदेश एक ही वरिष्ठ से मिलने चाहिए। टेलर की कार्यात्मक फोरमैनशिप में कई विशेषज्ञ फोरमैन कर्मचारी को निर्देश देते हैं। इसलिए कर्मचारी को निर्देश और आदेश मिलने की व्यवस्था में दोनों दृष्टिकोण अलग हैं।
