scientific evidence for validation of any
hypothesis, this is done through the survey
conducted.

working managers to study what roles
contribute towards organizational
performance.

13. Setting the record straight
 MBWA (Management by Walking Around)
was wrongly termed as Management by
Wandering About. The omission is
confessed and regretted.
 Sir had rightly pointed out mistake, as “the
boss is always right” so is the teacher.
