Scene 1: In the conference room at VisionTech Pvt. Ltd.

Narrator:
Welcome to VisionTech Pvt. Ltd., a company known for its discipline, productivity, and employee satisfaction. Let’s see how management principles help keep it all running smoothly.

Mr. Kapoor:
Good morning team. Today we need to discuss ways to improve productivity and ensure smooth operations. Ms. Singh, any suggestions?

Ms. Singh:
Yes, sir. I conducted a time study on our assembly line and noticed we can save 20 minutes per shift by reorganizing tool placement. Also, a bit of motion study could reduce worker fatigue.

Mr. Kapoor:
Very good! That's Taylor’s scientific management in action. Keep documenting these methods for standardisation. Ravi, you were with the team—what’s your take?

Ravi:
Ma’am’s suggestions really helped! My teammates and I feel more efficient. We even discussed forming teams for specific tasks. It feels like we’re specializing.

Mr. Kapoor:
That aligns with Fayol’s Division of Work. Specialisation boosts productivity. Fatima, how is the new training program going?

Fatima:
We’ve identified strengths using Taylor’s idea of scientific selection and training. Workers are assigned jobs matching their capabilities. We’re also improving communication using Fayol’s Scalar Chain—everyone reports through the proper channel.

Scene 2: A week later on the production floor

Narrator:
A small conflict arises. Two departments are overlapping their responsibilities. Ravi approaches Ms. Singh.

Ravi:
Ma’am, I’m getting conflicting orders from both Quality and Production heads. Who should I follow?

Ms. Singh:
That’s a valid concern. Let me speak to Mr. Kapoor. It’s a violation of Unity of Command.

[Later in Mr. Kapoor’s office]

Mr. Kapoor:
Thanks for raising this. We'll restructure tasks under Unity of Direction—each department should have one head with clear objectives.

Scene 3: Annual Review Day

Narrator:
VisionTech is thriving. The company maintained quality, improved efficiency, and boosted morale.

Mr. Kapoor (to all employees):
Thanks to all of you! Following core management principles—like equity, stability of tenure, and encouraging cooperation not individualism—we’ve achieved a 20% growth!

Ms. Singh:
And let’s not forget to thank Taylor and Fayol—for giving us timeless tools to manage better.

Ravi (smiling):
So true. Who knew management theory could actually make our daily work smoother?
