Unity of Command means that each subordinate should receive orders from and report to only one superior. This helps prevent dual subordination and confusion in the chain of command. On the other hand, Unity of Direction means that all groups of activities within an organization should have the same objective and be responsible to one head superior. This principle prevents overlapping of activities and ensures that everyone is working towards the same goal. While Unity of Command mainly affects individual employees, Unity of Direction has implications for the entire organization. By following these principles, organizations can establish clear lines of authority and coordination, leading to better overall performance.</div><div style='margin-top: 15px;color:#808080 !important;font-size:15px !important;text-decoration:underline;cursor:pointer;color: #808080 !important;' class='rpt_btn_inline rpt_btn_inline_858184' data_q_id='858184' >Report a problem</div><div class='report_ques_dv report_ques_dv_858184'><textarea class='qprblm_858184' placeholder='Please tell us more about the issue (at least 5-6 words) for quick resolution' style='width:100%;border-radius:4px;border-color:transparent;background-color:#F4F4F4;padding:10px;font-size:15px !important;padding-left:15px;'></textarea><div style='text-align:right;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;'>\r                                <button class='rpt_inqsn_cncl'  data_q_id='858184'  style='padding:5px;margin-right:20px;display: inline-block;padding: 2px 12px;margin-bottom: 0;font-size: 14px !important;font-weight: normal;line-height: 1.428571429;text-align: center;white-space: nowrap;vertical-align: middle;cursor: pointer;border: 1px solid transparent;border-radius: 4px;-webkit-user-select: none;-moz-user-select: none;-ms-user-select: none;-o-user-select: none;user-select: none;background-color:transparent;color:#5E5E5E !important;border:1px solid #D3D3D3;min-width:110px;'>Cancel</button>\r                                \r                                <button class='rpt_inqsn_save'  data_q_id='858184' style='padding:5px;display: inline-block;padding: 2px 12px;margin-bottom: 0;font-size: 14px !important;font-weight: normal;line-height: 1.428571429;text-align: center;white-space: nowrap;vertical-align: middle;cursor: pointer;border: 1px solid transparent;border-radius: 4px;-webkit-user-select: none;-moz-user-select: none;-ms-user-select: none;-o-user-select: none;user-select: none;color:white !important;background-color:#193f68;min-width:110px;'>Report</button></div></div></div><div style='text-align: center;'><div class='btn btn-blue sol_qsn_cntnt sol_qsn_cntnt_858184' onclick='ShowSolutionContentPage(858184,'SingleChoice',0,'c'); '>View Solution</div></div></div>"
