An agent is an individual with the authority to change the legal positioning of another individual, who is the principle. (MacIntyre, 2015) This means that the agent has the power to make contracts on the principles behalf. This is generally achieved via a contractual agreement on behalf on the principle.

* Scope of authority – range of contractual acts the organization has authorized a person to be responsible for.

Kadushin tightens up on Dawson's formulation and presents his understanding of the three elements in terms of the primary problem and the primary goal. In administrative supervision the primary problem is concerned with the correct, effective and appropriate implementation of agency policies and procedures. The primary goal is to ensure adherence to policy and procedure (Kadushin 1992: 20). The supervisor has been given authority by the agency to oversee the work of the supervisee. This carries the responsibility:

Authority cannot exist without obedience. Society is built on this small, but important concept. Without authority and its required obedience, there would only be anarchy and chaos. But how much is too much, or too little? There is a fine line between following blindly and irrational refusal to obey those in a meaningful position of authority. Obedience to authority is a real and powerful force that should be understood and respected in order to handle each situation in the best possible manner.

Agents should not be looked at as just authoritative figures, there is more to an agent than enforcing

2. A principal-agent relationships involves the owners (principals) delegating decision-making authority to managers (agents). A conflict occurs when the agents pursue acceptable levels of shareholder wealth and profit rather than a maximization of profit. They are pursuing their own self-interests. One way that the agents act in their own self-interests would be by focusing on long-term job security. This could cause the agents to limit the amount of risk taken by the firm. The firm may have an opportunity that is considered a riskier venture that could produce high profits if successful. If the venture proves to be unsuccessful, then the agent is at risk of dismissal. Therefore,

The third parties dealing with the employees of the agent, on behalf of the agent. The Acting law to common law, most have been replaced by employment legislation that applies only to the relationship between employers and employees.

We have an authority to benefit ourselves. Someone has to make resolutions and that is authority. Authority keeps society running properly and fixes problems, but authority is not always right. An opinion about this topic is that we should disobey authority if it’s wrong. The idea that disobeying authority when it’s wrong or you disagree with its choices is incorrect. Disobeying authority is never the solution but we should not blindly follow either. Authority is an important part of our society and it becomes useless if ignored. Authority is not always right though and people of authority as well as the general public should listen to the opinions and ideas of experts. If authority does not listen to experts or the opinions of the people, authority will begin to be looked down upon. If it continues and the current authoritative body needs to be replaced there should be a process for it.

An agent's authority can be terminated at any time. If the trust between the agent and principal has broken down, it is not reasonable to allow the principal to remain at risk in any transactions that the agent might conclude during a

The doctrine of ‘agency by necessity’ establishes that authority shall be assumed, in a necessitous situation, by a person who acts in the interest of the principal. The Indian Contract Act remains silent as to classification of the doctrine under any section, though many debate that it is to be under the head of Section 189. This is an extremely ambiguous area in the law of agency, as there are quite a few specific scenarios apart from the quintessential ‘shipmaster’, which are debatable as to assumption of authority. In this paper, the concepts of the conditions prerequisite to the assumption of authority shall be discussed, and then an analysis of the special situations of ambiguity with reference to cases shall be addressed.
