Consider the statements about Katz's managerial skills. I. Human skill is the ability to work with, understand and motivate people, and is needed at all levels of management. II. Technical skill is the ability to use specialised knowledge and techniques, and is most needed by top management. III. Conceptual skill involves analysing complex situations and seeing how parts fit the whole. Which is correct?

Only statements I and III are correct. Human skill is needed at all management levels, and conceptual skill means analysing complex situations and seeing the whole. Technical skill is most needed at lower levels, not by top management, so statement II is false.

  1. AI and II only
  2. BII and III only
  3. CI and III onlyCorrect
  4. DI, II and III

Explanation

Human skill is required at every level, and conceptual skill is the ability to see the big picture. Statement II is wrong because technical skill is most needed at the lower, supervisory level, not by top management.
