Question

While management principles are universally applicable, what factor can cause the *degree* of their application to vary?

• A. The personal preference of the individual manager.
• B. The age of the organization and its founding year.
• C. The organization's nature, size, and type of activity.
• D. The economic stability of the global market.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The organization's nature, size, and type of activity.

• While management principles are universal, the degree of their application can vary depending on the organization's nature, size, and type of activity.

This means that a principle might be applied differently in a large, private corporation compared to a small, non-profit organization. For example, the principle of division of work is used in both, but a large company will have many highly specialized departments, while a small firm might have employees who perform multiple, broader tasks.
