FAQs on Handwritten Notes for Chapter 2
FAQs on Handwritten Notes for Chapter 2
Are handwritten notes enough for the board exam?
For last-mile revision, yes. But pair them with the NCERT Solutions PDF for answer-writing practice and the NCERT textbook for full chapter reading. Handwritten notes are most effective in the final week.
What are the 14 principles of management by Fayol?
Fayol's 14 principles are: (1) Division of Work, (2) Authority and Responsibility, (3) Discipline, (4) Unity of Command, (5) Unity of Direction, (6) Subordination of Individual Interest to General Interest, (7) Remuneration of Personnel, (8) Centralisation and Decentralisation, (9) Scalar Chain, (10) Order, (11) Equity, (12) Stability of Personnel, (13) Initiative, (14) Esprit de Corps.
What are Taylor's four principles of scientific management?
Taylor's four principles are: (1) Science, not Rule of Thumb, (2) Harmony, not Discord, (3) Cooperation, not Individualism, (4) Development of each person to his/her greatest efficiency and prosperity.
What are the 7 techniques of scientific management?
The 7 techniques are: Functional Foremanship, Standardisation and Simplification of Work, Method Study, Motion Study, Time Study, Fatigue Study, and Differential Piece Wage System.
What is Functional Foremanship?
Functional Foremanship is Taylor's technique of dividing supervisory authority among eight specialised foremen instead of one general foreman. Four are in the planning section (Route Clerk, Instruction Card Clerk, Time and Cost Clerk, Disciplinarian) and four are on the production floor (Speed Boss, Gang Boss, Repair Boss, Inspector).
What is Mental Revolution in Taylor's scientific management?
Mental Revolution is Taylor's call for a complete change of attitude on the part of both management and workers. Management must stop treating workers as wage-greedy and workers must stop treating management as profit-greedy. Both must commit to mutual cooperation and shared gains.
What is the difference between Scalar Chain and Gang Plank?
Scalar Chain is the formal vertical line of authority from the top to the bottom of the organisation. Gang Plank is an exception that allows two employees at the same level in different departments to communicate directly with each other in an emergency, bypassing the chain to save time, with their superiors' knowledge.
