Question

Nikhil, a production manager in a mobile manufacturing company, has been assigned a target of producing 300 mobiles in a month. But, he alone cannot perform all the tasks involved in producing mobiles. Thus, in order to meet the targets, he should------authority:

Delegate

Rise

Leave

Decentralize​

Answer 1

Explanation:

No, the production manager cannot blame the foreman because he did not give him the authority to requisition tools and materials from the stores department. <br> In this case the principle of 'Authority and Responsibility' is violated. Managers require authority commensurate with their responsibility. There should be a balance between authority and responsibility. <br> An organisation should build safeguards against abuse of managerial power. At the same time a manager should have necessary authority to carry out his responsibility.
