The following is the list of materials which one should be thoroughly prepared for PubAd prelims . One needs to be thorough with definitions/ statements and meanings of statements of Thinkers . For eg If you know “Acess to Boss” was concept forwarded by Urwick , its not enought ..you should be able to identitfy that “Acess to boss ” was framed by Urwick in refrence to describe factors acffecting span of control and under “Space” . Such a clarity can come only by repeated repeition .
This list is complete . In the sense any serious Pub Ad student is expected to follow and is followed by Mohanty , Manocha or Brain Tree .
