Question

Which of the following principles are related to scientific management?
• [(A)] Science not Rule of Thumb
• [(B)] Development of Each and Every Person to His or Her Greatest Efficiency and Prosperity
• [(C)] Unity of Command
• [(D)] Cooperation, Not Individualism Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (D) only
• B. (A), (B) and (C) only
• C. (A), (B), (C) and (D)
• D. (B), (C) and (D) only

Hint:

Taylor's Scientific Management principles include: \[ \mathrm{Science,\ Cooperation,\ Harmony,\ Development} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: The principles of Scientific Management were given by: \[ \mathrm{F.W.\ Taylor} \] Major principles include:
• Science, not Rule of Thumb
• Harmony, not Discord
• Cooperation, not Individualism
• Development of each and every person

Step 1: Analyze statement (A).
\[ \mathrm{Science\ not\ Rule\ of\ Thumb} \] is a principle of Scientific Management. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Correct} \]

Step 2: Analyze statement (B).
\[ \mathrm{Development\ of\ Each\ and\ Every\ Person} \] is also a principle of Taylor. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Correct} \]

Step 3: Analyze statement (C).
\[ \mathrm{Unity\ of\ Command} \] is a principle given by Henri Fayol, not Taylor. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Incorrect} \]

Step 4: Analyze statement (D).
\[ \mathrm{Cooperation,\ Not\ Individualism} \] is a principle of Scientific Management. \[ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Correct} \]

Step 5: Identify the correct option.
Thus, the correct set is: \[ (A),\ (B)\ \text{and}\ (D)\ \text{only} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\mathrm{(A)}} \]
