Impossibility of Universal Principles

Monday, September 6, 2010

Classical management principles were written by practitioners in management and were based on their personal experience only. They have only made an attempt to pass on their ideas as universal truths. These principles are vague and too general and , therefore, are very difficult to apply to a specific organisation. They often overlap and are sometimes incompatible with one another. Thus, the statement of ‘Universal Principles’ is quite unblessed.
