Some management principles and practices included in the book:

Division of work
Dividing work into smaller tasks and assigning them to specific people or teams can increase productivity and efficiency.

Authority and responsibility
Each employee should have a clearly defined role and responsibility, and the authority to perform those responsibilities.

Discipline
Employees should follow the rules and regulations of the organization, and interact with each other in a respectful way.

Unity of command
A subordinate should only receive instructions from one superior at a time.

Unity of direction
A department or team should have one plan for a group of activities with the same objective.

Subordination
A company should work together towards the company's interest, rather than personal interests.

Remuneration
Employees should be paid fair wages for their work, and this should include both financial and non-financial incentives.

Scalar chain
An unbroken line of authority should be established from the highest levels of management down.
