Principles of Management are not _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

• A. Absolute
• B. Flexible
• C. Universal
• D. Behavioural

Hint:

To remember the nature of Management Principles, think of them as situational: unlike the Absolute laws of Science (like Gravity), Management Principles are Flexible and must be adjusted based on the human factor and the environment.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Management principles are guidelines for human behavior and organizational decision-making. Unlike the principles of pure science, they are:
 • Flexible: They can be modified by the manager as per the situation. 
• Universal: Applicable to all types of organizations. 
• Behavioural: Aimed at influencing human behavior. 

Determining the nature of the principles.
Because management deals with unpredictable human beings and dynamic environments, its principles cannot be Absolute (static or fixed). They are relative and situational.
