> Provide a director to see that the
objective in realized.

individualized and specialized work
units.

authority

18. Gulick notes that the number of subordinates that
can be handled by a manager depend on-
> Organizational stability
> The specialization of the
subordinate
> Space

19. Gulick has emphasized the theory of unit
of command that-

direct superior.

inefficiency.

21. > Planning: Outline the things need to be done.
> Organizing: Establishment of the formal structure
and authority.
> Staffing: Training the staff and maintaining
favorable conditions of work.

the subordinates.
> Coordinating: Duty of interlating the various parts
of the work.
> Reporting: Informig the authority what is going on.
> Budgeting: Form of fiscal planning, accounting and
control.

Dahl, Dwight Waldo and Herbert A. Simon released
articles and books criticizing POSDCORB.

2. Vagueness and ambiguities involved in applying
this principle in a real world setting in
specialization principles.
3. The principle unity of command is contradicts the
principle of specialization.
