Consider the following statements about the levels of management. Statement I: Middle level managers act as a link between top management and supervisory management. Statement II: Supervisory managers spend most of their time framing long-term organisational policies. Which option is correct?
Only Statement I is correct. Middle level managers connect top management with supervisors by translating policies into departmental plans. Supervisors focus on daily operations and guiding workers, while long-term policy formulation is the job of top management, so Statement II is false.
- ABoth statements are correct
- BOnly Statement I is correctCorrect
- COnly Statement II is correct
- DBoth statements are incorrect
Explanation
Middle managers, such as department heads, interpret top management's policies and pass instructions to supervisors, so they form the link. Supervisors deal with day-to-day operations and direct workers; long-term policy framing belongs to top management. Hence Statement II is wrong.
