No, the Production Manager cannot blame the foreman because he did not give authority to him and as a result the foreman was not able to fulfil his responsibilities. Principle of 'Authority and Responsibility' is associated with this case. According to this principle, there must be balance between the authority and responsibility. Excess of authority without matching responsibility may bring negative results and vice-versa. Thus, there is need to bring parity between them.
