In a large sized enterprise delegation is
Compulsory
Correct Answer: (C) Compulsory
Key Information:
In large-sized enterprises, the volume of work is very high and the top management alone cannot control all tasks and take all decisions. Therefore, the delegation of work and authority becomes compulsory. Delegation distributes work across different managerial levels, which speeds up both decision-making and execution.
When authority remains concentrated only at the top level, even small decisions require approval, which wastes time and delays the work. However, in large enterprises where operations are wide and complex, the organisation cannot function efficiently without delegation.
Hence, delegation is not considered an option, but a necessity in large organisations. Thus, delegation becomes essential for smooth functioning, proper work distribution, clear accountability, and timely execution in large enterprises.
Additional Information
(A) Voluntary — Incorrect
Voluntary means that delegation depends only on the manager’s preference. In large enterprises, delegation is not a matter of personal choice; it is a functional requirement. Without delegation, proper management cannot take place. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
(B) Necessary — Incorrect
Although delegation is indeed necessary in large enterprises, the word “necessary” does not fully convey the situation. In reality, a large-sized enterprise cannot operate effectively without delegation, which makes it compulsory rather than merely necessary. Therefore, this option is partially true but considered incorrect for examination purposes.
