Controlling is to keep a check on everything if it is going according to the plan and if anything is not going right than some preventive measures should be taken to stop or avoid any inconvenience. When controlling is done in an appropriate way, it is an incentive of a better and fruitful plan. Complications arise at any stage of control, so it is very necessary to resolve ...

Classical Organization Theory

The classical organizational theory is identified as the oldest school of management pre-dated in the early twentieth century (Shafritz, Ott, and Jang, 2012). This theory is premised on efficiency of bureaucratic systems that operate in an organization. This school of management is based on ensuring maximum productivity of an organization’s systems. In this regard, this theory involves centralized decision-making, specialization of labor, and maximization of profit. For this reason, the theory encompasses a combination of three distinct concepts, bureaucratic, scientific, and administrative theories (Daft, Murphy, and Willmott, 2013). The classical organizational theory was advanced by the first scholars, ...

In the case study, the social worker makes his own unethical decisions of reporting late or leaving early to find time to attend to his ailing wife who suffered a stroke that affected the neurological system.

Management

Introduction History has its own professional benefits and studying it makes sure we will not repeat the same mistakes that were made a long time ago.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the principles of Henry Fayol, one of the founding fathers of management principles and education with a view towards determining the relevance of these principles for the modern age. It finds that each of the principles still has some relevance but that work would need to be undertaken to account for the existence of flat management structures and decentralised companies. There are a few other changes that need to be made to bring Fayol's principles in to the 21st century but these are largely small modifications. These alterations reflect changes in the motivation of staff.

Over the years, participative democracy has been thought of as the ideal decision making style in the organizational setting. On the contrary, this style of decision making has no place in the contemporary business practice (Cumbers & Mcmaster 2012). The major reason why democratic decision making is not ideal is the fact that it undermines successful management. Democracy, in its raw sense means majority rule. The word was coined in ancient Greece and was used mostly in a political sense to refer to a style of leadership where one rose to power by virtue of being selected by the majority through ...

Administrative management theory is one of the theories in the classical management theory. Pioneered by Henri Fayol, the theory focuses on management of organizations in the most efficient way for the benefit of the total organization. This theory developed at the same time with the scientific theory of management and it emphasized on the functions of management. The theory “emphasized management functions and attempted to generate broad administrative principles that would serve as guidelines for the rationalization of organizational activities” (Drucker, 2007, p.132). This paper describes the administrative management theory, its initiator and the changes made to allow it ...

Organizing is a principle of management that ensures that an organization is structurally designed in a manner that enhances the implementation of strategies. The concept of organizing within an organization ensures that there is a specialization of work through the existence of responsible departments. In addition to this, organizing facilitates the proper distribution of goods thereby enhancing the decentralization of the organization in question. The ultimate role of organizing within an organization can be seen through the existence of the department dealing with various aspects like product, a certain category of customers, departments serving particular geographical regions among others (Morden 67).
