AGreat division of labour ✓ Correct
BCost accounting
CFull managerial control
DAll of the above
Correct answer: (A) Great division of labour — The great division of labour is Taylor's principle of organisation, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The great division of labour is Taylor's principle of organisation, so that is the answer.
★Taylor's scientific management rested on dividing work into small, specialised parts.
★A fine division of labour lets each worker master one task and perform it efficiently.
★It supports the planning-execution split, where planning is separated from doing.
★This maximises efficiency in production, which was Taylor's central aim.
★Cost accounting and full managerial control are management tools, not Taylor's stated principle of organisation here.
★Hence the great division of labour is the keyed principle.
