Question

A key feature of organizing is that it is based on the principle of "division of work and specialisation". What are the two "constituents or dimensions" that this function involves?

• A. Authority and responsibility structure and activity structure.
• B. Top-down and bottom-up approaches.
• C. Internal and external premises.
• D. Human Resource Planning and Recruitment.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Authority and responsibility structure and activity structure.

The organizing function "has two basic constituents or dimensions". It then identifies them as the "authority structure, which is created by delegation of authority from top to lower level" , and the "activity structure, created by dividing activities into jobs and tasks".
