Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
-
Only 1
-
Only 2
-
Both 1 and 2
-
Neither 1 nor 2
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct - control systems monitor environmental changes and assess organizational impact. Statement 2 is incorrect - delegation in participative management DOES change the control process, making it more indirect, results-oriented, and dependent on subordinate self-control rather than direct supervision. Therefore 'Only 1' is the right answer as stated.
