    Ques.1) (B) Read the following case and answer the following questions on the basis of the
    same:

    Walt Disney Company was established in 1923 by Walter Elias Disney and his brother. The Walt
    Disney Organisation (including its subsidiaries), is a globally diversified conglomerate having
    business operations in following segments: Themed Products, Theme Parks, Media Networking,
    Experiences, Studio Entertainment (Marvel, Lucasfilm), Live Action Films, Animated Movies,
    Television Shows, Cruise Lines and Direct-to-Consumer & International (DTCI).

    Since the 90s, Disney has been receiving a lot of backlashes from all over the world for
    exploitation of its workers regarding work hours, wage rates, working conditions, etc. Many
    human rights organisations have also alleged that the products manufactured and sold by the
    company has been manipulated that are created in sweatshops in China, Bangladesh, and Haiti.
    The National Labor Committee (NLC) revealed in a January 1996 report that Disney's "Mickey
    Mouse" and "Pocahontas" pyjamas were manufactured in a Haitian factory that was paying its
    workers 12 cents per hour (which was too low as compared to the minimum wage level
    prevailing in the country). After the exposure of this news, the factory owners raised the wages
    to around 28 cents an hour (this wage level was in compliance with minimum wage rate defined).
    However, a follow-up investigation revealed that employees were still living "on the verge of
    despair," because the plant owners were still underpaying them. The employees were shocked
    when they found that the Pocahontas outfits were sold in the United States markets for around
    $10.97 (which was almost equivalent to nearly five days' pay). All of above has resulted in high
    rate of employee turnover at Disney.

    (a) In the above case “The National Labor Committee (NLC) revealed in a January 1996 report
    that Disney's "Mickey Mouse" and "Pocahontas" pyjamas were manufactured in a Haitian
    factory that was paying its workers 12 cents per hour (which was too low as compared to the
    minimum wage level prevailing in the country)”. Identify the two Fayol’s principles of
    management that are being violated in the above case. Explain.
    (2 marks)
    (b) In the above case “All of above has resulted in high rate of employee turnover at Disney.”
