2. There are universal principles of management that are always effective.

• A. രണ്ടും നാലും
• B. രണ്ട് മാത്രം
• C. ഒന്ന്
• D. ഇവയൊന്നുമല്ല

Answer 1

Answer:

B. രണ്ട് മാത്രം

• The core idea of the Contingency Approach is that there are no universal management principles that are always effective.

• It asserts that the success of any management strategy or technique is contingent upon the specific situation.

• Therefore, a statement claiming the existence of universally effective principles is fundamentally opposed to the contingency perspective.
