Explanation
★Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason explains the assertion.
★Unity of command means a worker takes orders from only one superior.
★In practice this is often not workable.
★Technical work and administrative work need different kinds of supervision.
★A worker may then have to answer to a technical and an administrative head.
★Taylor and Simon rejected a rigid unity of command for this reason.
★So both are true and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
