Answer:
(i) Rules These are specific statements that inform what is to be done. A rule reflects a managerial decision that a certain action must or must not be taken. They are usually the simplest type of plans because no change is made in them, unless a policy decision is taken. Rules are to be enforced rigidly and there is generally a fine or penalty for violation of rules. They do not allow for any flexibility or discretion e.g. No smoking in the office premises'. (ii) Methods These are standardised ways or manner in which a task has to be performed considering the objectives e.g. For imparting training to employees at various levels of management, different methods can be adopted. For top level management, orientation programmes, lectures and seminars can be organised whereas, at the supervisory level, on-the-job training methods and work oriented methods are appropriate.
