A sales manager delegates the task of preparing the monthly sales report to his assistant. The report submitted turns out to be inaccurate, and the general manager still holds the sales manager answerable for this lapse. This best illustrates that:

The accountability of the sales manager for the work assigned to him cannot be delegated further

Only the assistant bears accountability to the general manager

Authority was never actually delegated to the assistant

Decentralisation had taken place in the sales department

A footwear company has a clearly organised structure with well-defined departments and authority relationships. Because of this, it is able to add a new overseas division without disrupting its existing operations. Which benefit of organising does this best illustrate?

Expansion and growth, since a sound structure allows more departments to be added without disrupting existing work

Optimum utilisation of resources, since duplication of work is avoided

Development of personnel, since managers delegate routine work for job rotation

Adaptation to change, since employees change their jobs based on environmental shifts

Assertion (A): A divisional structure gives a company greater flexibility at the divisional level by allowing faster decision-making. Reason (R): Each division is treated as a profit centre, and the divisional head is held accountable for the profit earned by that division. Choose the correct option:

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Q1. A sales manager delegates the task of preparing the monthly sales report to his assistant. The report submitted turns out to be inaccurate, and the general manager still holds the sales manager answerable for this lapse. This best illustrates that:
एक विक्रय प्रबंधक मासिक बिक्री रिपोर्ट तैयार करने का कार्य अपने सहायक को सौंपता है। प्रस्तुत की गई रिपोर्ट गलत निकलती है, और महाप्रबंधक इस चूक के लिए फिर भी विक्रय प्रबंधक को ही उत्तरदायी ठहराता है। यह सबसे अच्छी तरह किस बात को दर्शाता है:
- A. Only the assistant bears accountability to the general manager / केवल सहायक ही महाप्रबंधक के प्रति उत्तरदेय है
- B. Authority was never actually delegated to the assistant / अधिकार वास्तव में कभी सहायक को प्रत्यायोजित ही नहीं किया गया था
- C. Decentralisation had taken place in the sales department / विक्रय विभाग में विकेंद्रीकरण हो गया था
- D. The accountability of the sales manager for the work assigned to him cannot be delegated further / विक्रय प्रबंधक को सौंपे गए कार्य के लिए उसकी उत्तरदेयता को आगे प्रत्यायोजित नहीं किया जा सकता
Solution
Even after delegating a task to someone else, a superior remains answerable to his own boss for the final outcome, because accountability cannot be delegated further.
किसी कार्य को किसी अन्य व्यक्ति को सौंपने के बाद भी, एक वरिष्ठ अंतिम परिणाम के लिए अपने स्वयं के बॉस के प्रति उत्तरदायी रहता है, क्योंकि उत्तरदेयता (accountability) को आगे प्रत्यायोजित नहीं किया जा सकता।
Q2. A footwear company has a clearly organised structure with well-defined departments and authority relationships. Because of this, it is able to add a new overseas division without disrupting its existing operations. Which benefit of organising does this best illustrate?
एक जूता बनाने वाली कंपनी की एक स्पष्ट रूप से संगठित संरचना है जिसमें सुपरिभाषित विभाग और अधिकार संबंध हैं। इसके कारण, वह अपने मौजूदा कार्यों को बाधित किए बिना एक नया विदेशी प्रभाग जोड़ने में सक्षम हो जाती है। यह संगठन (organising) के किस लाभ को सबसे अच्छी तरह दर्शाता है?
- A. Optimum utilisation of resources, since duplication of work is avoided / संसाधनों का इष्टतम उपयोग, क्योंकि कार्य की पुनरावृत्ति टल जाती है
- B. Expansion and growth, since a sound structure allows more departments to be added without disrupting existing work / विस्तार और वृद्धि, क्योंकि एक सुदृढ़ संरचना मौजूदा कार्य को बाधित किए बिना अधिक विभागों को जोड़ने की अनुमति देती है
- C. Development of personnel, since managers delegate routine work for job rotation / कार्मिकों का विकास, क्योंकि प्रबंधक कार्य के घूर्णन (job rotation) के लिए नियमित कार्य प्रत्यायोजित करते हैं
- D. Adaptation to change, since employees change their jobs based on environmental shifts / परिवर्तन के अनुकूल होना, क्योंकि कर्मचारी पर्यावरणीय बदलावों के आधार पर अपनी नौकरियाँ बदलते हैं
Solution
A sound organisation structure provides scope for expansion and growth because new departments or divisions can be added to it without major disruption to existing work.
एक सुदृढ़ संगठन संरचना विस्तार और वृद्धि के लिए गुंजाइश प्रदान करती है क्योंकि नए विभागों या प्रभागों को मौजूदा कार्य में बड़ी बाधा डाले बिना इसमें जोड़ा जा सकता है।
Q3. Assertion (A): A divisional structure gives a company greater flexibility at the divisional level by allowing faster decision-making. Reason (R): Each division is treated as a profit centre, and the divisional head is held accountable for the profit earned by that division. Choose the correct option:
कथन (A): प्रभागीय (divisional) संरचना किसी कंपनी को तेज़ निर्णय लेने की अनुमति देकर प्रभागीय स्तर पर अधिक लचीलापन प्रदान करती है। कारण (R): प्रत्येक प्रभाग को एक लाभ केंद्र (profit centre) माना जाता है, और प्रभाग प्रधान को उस प्रभाग द्वारा अर्जित लाभ के लिए उत्तरदायी ठहराया जाता है। सही विकल्प चुनें:
- A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, और R, A की सही व्याख्या है
- B. A is true, but R is false / A सत्य है, लेकिन R असत्य है
- C. A is false, but R is true / A असत्य है, लेकिन R सत्य है
- D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A / A और R दोनों सत्य हैं, लेकिन R, A की सही व्याख्या नहीं है
Solution
Since each division is run almost like an independent profit centre, its head gets the freedom to take quick decisions, which is exactly why the division becomes more flexible.
क्योंकि प्रत्येक प्रभाग को लगभग एक स्वतंत्र लाभ केंद्र के रूप में चलाया जाता है, उसके प्रधान को त्वरित निर्णय लेने की स्वतंत्रता मिलती है, और यही कारण है कि प्रभाग अधिक लचीला बन जाता है।
