Q1. A general statement that guides managerial decision-making and thinking by setting boundaries, such as 'We promote from within the organisation,' is best described as a:
एक सामान्य कथन जो सीमाएँ निर्धारित करके प्रबंधकीय निर्णय-निर्माण और सोच का मार्गदर्शन करता है, जैसे 'हम संगठन के भीतर से ही पदोन्नति करते हैं,' उसे सबसे अच्छे रूप में किस प्रकार वर्णित किया जाता है:
- A. Rule, because it must be strictly obeyed / नियम, क्योंकि इसका कड़ाई से पालन किया जाना चाहिए
- B. Policy, because it is a general guide to decision-making / नीति, क्योंकि यह निर्णय-निर्माण का एक सामान्य मार्गदर्शक है
- C. Programme, because it is a single-use plan / कार्यक्रम, क्योंकि यह एकल-उपयोग योजना है
- D. Procedure, because it lists the steps to be followed / प्रक्रिया, क्योंकि यह अनुसरण किए जाने वाले चरणों को सूचीबद्ध करती है
Solution
A policy is a general guideline that channels the thinking and decisions of managers within set boundaries, unlike a rigid rule.
नीति एक सामान्य दिशानिर्देश है जो एक कठोर नियम के विपरीत, निर्धारित सीमाओं के भीतर प्रबंधकों की सोच और निर्णयों को दिशा देती है।
Q2. Four of the following are commonly listed as benefits (importance) of planning, except one. Identify the 'odd one out' which is actually a limitation.
निम्नलिखित में से चार को सामान्यतः नियोजन के लाभ (महत्व) के रूप में गिना जाता है, एक को छोड़कर। उस 'असंगत' को पहचानें जो वास्तव में एक सीमा है।
- A. Planning may not work in a dynamic environment / नियोजन गतिशील वातावरण में कार्य नहीं कर सकता
- B. Planning provides directions / नियोजन दिशा प्रदान करता है
- C. Planning reduces the risks of uncertainty / नियोजन अनिश्चितता के जोखिमों को कम करता है
- D. Planning promotes innovative ideas / नियोजन नवाचारी विचारों को बढ़ावा देता है
Solution
Reducing the risks of uncertainty, giving direction and promoting innovation are benefits, but 'may not work in a dynamic environment' is a limitation of planning.
अनिश्चितता के जोखिमों को कम करना, दिशा प्रदान करना और नवाचार को बढ़ावा देना लाभ हैं, परंतु 'गतिशील वातावरण में कार्य नहीं कर सकता' नियोजन की एक सीमा है।
Q3. Match the plan in List-I with its correct nature in List-II: List-I: (a) Procedure (b) Objective (c) Method List-II: (1) The end which every activity aims to achieve (2) Step-by-step sequence in which a task is performed (3) The prescribed way of doing one step of a procedure
सूची-I में दी गई योजना का सूची-II में उसके सही स्वरूप से मिलान करें: सूची-I: (a) प्रक्रिया (b) उद्देश्य (c) विधि सूची-II: (1) वह लक्ष्य जिसे प्राप्त करने का प्रत्येक गतिविधि प्रयास करती है (2) वह क्रमबद्ध अनुक्रम जिसमें कोई कार्य किया जाता है (3) किसी प्रक्रिया के एक चरण को करने का निर्धारित तरीका
- A. (a)-2, (b)-3, (c)-1
- B. (a)-3, (b)-1, (c)-2
- C. (a)-2, (b)-1, (c)-3
- D. (a)-1, (b)-2, (c)-3
Solution
An objective is the end to be achieved, a procedure is the sequence of steps, and a method is the way of performing one step of that procedure.
उद्देश्य वह लक्ष्य है जिसे प्राप्त करना है, प्रक्रिया चरणों का अनुक्रम है, और विधि उस प्रक्रिया के एक चरण को करने का तरीका है।
