What to Focus On

  • A managerial principle is a broad and general guideline for decision-making and behaviour.
  • Principles are different from techniques (step-by-step procedures) and values (moral standards).
  • Management principles deal with human behaviour, making them flexible and context-dependent.

  • Universal applicability — apply to all organisations, though the extent varies.
  • General guidelines — not rigid, readymade solutions; require managerial judgment.
  • Formed by practice and experimentation — based on collective managerial wisdom.

  • Principles provide useful insights into real-world managerial situations, improving efficiency.
  • They enable optimum utilisation of limited resources and reduce trial-and-error waste.
  • Scientific decision-making based on principles reduces bias and increases objectivity.
