In the other words it is the power given to a person to extract work from his subordinates.Responsibility crops up with authority. It is the obligation of a person to perform his duties towards a job.Discipline:     Discipline is very much essential for the smooth running of any organization. Discipline is “respect for agreements, sincere effort for completing a given task and outward marks of respect”. The essence of discipline is obedience, diligence, correct attitude and outward mark of respects, with in the limits fixed by the agreement between management and its employees.
Unity of Command:     A subordinate should receive orders and instructions from one superior only. But it does not mean that a superior should have only one sub-ordinate. If it is not followed, there will not be any discipline.Unity of Direction: One head – One Plan.     This means that there should be one head and one plan for each group of activities having the same objectives. Similar activities should be grouped together under one manager. Only then all efforts could be directed towards the common goal.Sub – ordination of individual’s interest to the common interest:     Individuals who work for an organization should sacrifice their interest for the benefit of the organization i.e. the common interest. The interest of an organization is more important than the interest of an employee.Remuneration of personnel:     Remuneration is the money paid to the employees for their physical and mental efforts in carrying out a work.  Fair and equitable remuneration should be provided to employees to ensure better production and satisfaction.Centralization:     If the power and responsibilities are retained at top level management, the organization is centralized. Only the top executive at the centre takes all the decisions. It has more span of control.

  • #8 The organisational structure that existed till recently concentrated on the hierarchy of the operations(not services)inside the company as a whole. The structure depicts the corresponding operation/region of different in-charges and hence it didn't hold anyone responsible for each of its services.  So, the company found it better to restructure its organisational chart and it came into implementation from 1st August. The transformed organisational structure will have two distinct Customer Business Units (CBU) with clear focus on B2C (Business to Customer) and B2B (Business to Business) segments. BhartiAirtel's B2C business unit will comprehensively service the retail consumers, homes and small offices, by combining the erstwhile business units - Mobile, Telemedia, Digital TV, and other emerging businesses (like M-commerce, M-health, M-advertising etc.). The B2C organization will consist of Consumer Business and Market Operations..

  • #12 There will not be any friction among the employees.12. Stability of tenure of personnel:People who work in an organization should not be allowed to move out quite frequently because stable and secure work force is an asset to any organization.It is better to keep a manager of average ability than a very efficient manager who merely comes and goes.The management should create favorable working conditions by providing good salary, promotion opportunities, welfare facilities etc.13. Initiative:Initiative is the power of thinking and executing any task with enthusiasm voluntarily.Everyone should be given an equal opportunity to use their creativity and come out with better ideas of doing the work.When employees come forward with new ideas, new methods etc., they must be encouraged. It improves good morale among the employees.14. Espirit de corps:It is a French word, which means “feeling of harmony and union among personnel” of an organization.Union is strength. Team spirit and a sense of unity and togetherness should be fostered and administrated.Management should avoid the policy of “divide and rule”.
