(a) A single administrative science whose principles were applicable not only to business but also to government, religious and other organisations
(b) Functional foremanship
(c) Separation of planning and execution
(d) Differential piecework plan
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Functional foremanship (eight specialized supervisors), the separation of planning from shop-floor execution, and the differential piece-rate wage plan are core features of F.W. Taylor’s Scientific Management. By contrast, statement (a)—advocating a single universal administrative science applicable across business, government, and religious organizations—was propounded by Henri Fayol.
