A2 & 4 only
B3 & 4 only
C1 & 2 only
D1 & 4 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1 & 4 only — Statements 1 and 4 are not correct, so the answer is 1 and 4 only.
Explanation
★Statements 1 and 4 are not correct, so the answer is 1 and 4 only.
★Peter Drucker treated management as a practice with definite principles, practices and responsibilities.
★For him management is objective, a discipline with clear methods and goals, so calling it subjective in statement 1 is wrong.
★Drucker held that management has a specific role to perform, which makes statement 2 correct.
★He also believed that management is broad enough to concern ordinary people too, so statement 3 is correct.
★He strongly criticised the overly mechanistic, bureaucratic model, so statement 4 is wrong, since he did not approve it.
★Hence the incorrect statements are 1 and 4.
