Directing Class 12 - Frequently Asked Questions
Directing Class 12 - Frequently Asked Questions
What is directing in Class 12 Business Studies Chapter 7?
Directing is the management function of instructing, guiding, counselling, motivating and leading people in the organisation to achieve its objectives. It is the fourth function of management and converts plans on paper into actual goal-directed action.
What are the four elements of directing?
The four elements of directing are supervision, motivation, leadership and communication. Supervision is the first-line guidance of operatives; motivation stimulates the will to work; leadership influences people to strive willingly for group objectives; communication creates shared understanding.
What is Maslow's need hierarchy theory?
Abraham Maslow (1943) proposed that human needs follow a five-level hierarchy: (1) physiological, (2) safety, (3) social, (4) esteem, (5) self-actualisation. Lower needs are satisfied first; once satisfied, they stop motivating and the next higher need becomes the active motivator.
What is the difference between formal and informal communication?
Formal communication follows the chain of authority designed by management (orders, memos, agenda, minutes); it is slower but reliable. Informal communication (or grapevine) arises spontaneously out of social ties (rumours, whispers); it is very fast but often distorted.
