Which of the following principles of management is not propounded by Lyndall Urwick ?
Answer: C
The key gives Principle of Hierarchy as the one Urwick did not propound. I could not confirm this from a source.
Lyndall Urwick, in The Elements of Administration and his papers on direction and control, treats administration as investigation, forecasting, planning, organisation, coordination, command and control, and he states principles for these steps, so the principles of investigation and of control are his. 'Principle of Experiment' is not a name found in his lists, which is a reason to doubt that the key picks the right odd one out.
The key's choice of hierarchy rests on the idea that the scalar or hierarchical principle belongs to other writers such as Fayol and Mooney and Reiley. Urwick does discuss the scalar chain, so this item is a weak recall question; I kept the official key because I found nothing that proves it wrong.
