Question

Explain the following principle of management:
(i) Cooperation, not individualism (ii) Order.

Answer 1

Cooperation, not individualism

Cooperation’ means acting jointly, or a union towards achieving the same result. Taylor emphasized that the workers and the management should act jointly and in unison to achieve the organizational objectives. Management as well as the employees are basically the two important component of the organization and without them the organization cannot work properly.

This principle states that the work should be done in cooperation and with mutual confidence. Employees and management should co-operate with each other. The best way to gain full cooperation from the workers is that the management should try to set the goals and standards in consultation with the workers so that they feel that the goal is set by them and as a result of a psychological factor they will co-operate sincerely and willingly to achieve the determined goal.

Orders -

A place for everything/ everyone and every one in its place.
