Dear Student
(a) No, we cannot hold Mr. Sam responsible for losing the deal. He wasn't given the necessary authority to carry out the assigned responsibility. This is a clear situation of imbalance between authority and responsibility.

(b) The concerned principle in the above case is, 'Parity of Authority and Responsibility'. This principle states that there should be a balance between authority and responsibility ie., the authority should always be equal to responsibility. Authority is the right to take decisions and get it implemented through subordinates, whereas responsibility refers to the obligation on the part of subordinates for doing /completing the assigned the task.
