Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. a) Cause and effect relationship: Principles link a cause with its likely effect, so they can be applied in similar situations. Because they deal with human behaviour and situations are never identical, exact cause-effect links are hard to establish.

    2 marks

  2. b) Universal applicability: Principles apply to all types of organisations: business and non-business, small and large, public and private, manufacturing and services, though the extent of application varies with the nature and size of the organisation.

    2 marks

Answer: Principles establish (inexact) cause-effect relationships and apply to all kinds of organisations, to varying extents.
