Answer» Yes, the marketing manager is responsible. It is due to the principle of absolute responsibility, an important principle of delegation. According to principle of absolute responsibility, authority can be delegated but responsibility cannot be delegated by a manager. The manager continues to remain responsible or accountable to his own superior for the tasks which he may have assigned to his subordinates. Hence, manager cannot escape from responsibility for any default on the part of his subordinates. |
