Delegation is the act of transfering of authority or responsibility from a superior to a subordinate Indeed, delegation is the downward transfer of authority from a superior to a subordinate. Edmond for some reason was unavoidable absent due to schedule conflicts and delegates the work to Ferdie, to perform his duties at the closing

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A; DELEGATION.

Explanation:

Delegation is an administrative process of getting things done by others by giving them responsibility.

Example is a manager asking a subordinate to take over his duties at a meeting. However, the person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work.

Delegation simply means empowering a subordinate to get a work done (i.e. a transfer of authority from a superior to a subordinate).

Since Edmond asks Ferdie to perform his duties at closing because of his own conflicting schedule, therefore, this transfer of duties is called DELEGATION.
