Answers
Explanation:
Fitting people into the Structure- They say that the first important managerial activity is to create a proper structure of the organization and subsequent to that, to recruit people on the basis of their suitability towards the job and thereby, placing them at the right position.
2. Principle of Specialization
3. One Top Executive- This is also being referred to as Unity of Leadership. The whole of the organization is to be headed by one executive. The organization when headed by a board or a commission, then in case of the things going wrong, there would be nobody to ask and nobody to kick. It also delays the decision making.
4. Unity of Command- A subordinate should follow the orders of only one superior or super-ordinate.
5. Span of Control- This principle is developed with regard to supervision. Under this principle, Gulick emphasizes that for supervision to be effective, the number of subordinates should be limited which should be at most five or six.
Gulick, while being influenced by V.A. Graicunas and his formula, has emphasized that while the number of subordinates grow arithmetically, the amount of supervision multiplies. It is so because the supervisor has to supervise three types of relations.
1. Direct single relation
2. Direct group relation
3. Cross relation.
Total Relationships that a supervisor has to supervise when the number of subordinates is n,
T = n (2^n/2 + n – 1)
When the subordinates are undertaking similar type of activity, the span of control will be more in comparison to a situation where the subordinates are undertaking dissimilar type of activity.
Answer:
Urwick and Gulick distinguished 4 basis of departmental organization (4p): Purpose, Process, Person and Place.
The principles of organization by Luther Gulick are as follows :
- Division of work
- Premise of departmental associations
- Coordination through progressive system
- Conscious coordination
- Coordination through panels
- Decentralization
- Staff and line
- Unity of Command
- Delegation
- Span of control
Among the ten principle standards listed above, Gulick lays emphasis on division of work. If the men work together, optimum result can be achieved, provided there is division of work between them. The hypothesis of organization, thus, has to do with the advancement of coordination among various units of an association made by the guideline of division of work. Accordingly, that's what Gulick says "Division of work and combination are the boot straps by which humankind lifts during the process of civilization".
Gulick made up an abbreviation POSDCORB which demonstrates those widespread capacities which each overseer ought to achieve. Each letter in the POSDCORB represents an undertaking to be performed by the Chief Executive in the association. POSDCORB, each letter of which represents a specific capacity i.e.,
P-represents Planning,
O-represents Organization,
S-represents Staffing,
D-represents Directing,
CO-represents Co-ordination,
R-represents Reporting,
B-represents Budgeting.
