Question
Explain briefly 'Discipline' and 'Unity of Command' as general principles of management.
Solution
i. Discipline: Discipline implies that an organisation should follow the rules and regulations and ensure conformity to the set rules and policies. It is important for both the management as well as the workers that they honour their commitments and clear and fair agreements.
ii. Unity of Command: According to the concept of unity of command, any employee should be answerable to only one boss. If an individual receives commands and directions from two or more superiors, then this principle is violated, and there will be chaos and conflicts.
