03 Classical, BEHAVIOURAL, System APPROACH and Principle of Management
MANAGEMENT
(i) A system consists of interacting elements. It is set of inter-related and inter-dependent parts
arranged in a manner that produces a unified whole.
(ii) The various sub-systems should be studied in their inter-relationships rather, than in isolation
from each other.
(iii) An organisational system has a boundary that determines which parts are internal and which are
external.
(iv) A system does not exist in a vacuum. It receives information, material and energy from other
systems as inputs. These inputs undergo a transformation process within a system and leave the
system as output to other systems.

General Principles of Management Henry Foyal’s
The Principles of Management are the essential, underlying factors that form
the foundations of successful management. According to Henri Fayol in his
book General and Industrial Management (1917), there are 14 'Principles of
Management'.
Division of Work - According to this principle the whole work is divided into
small tasks. The specialization of the workforce according to the skills of a
person, creating specific personal and professional development within the
labour force and therefore increasing productivity; leads to specialization
which increases the efficiency of labour.
Esprit de Corps/Team Spirit - This refers to the need of managers to ensure and develop morale in the workplace; individually and
communally. Team spirit helps develop an atmosphere of mutual trust and understanding. Team spirit helps to finish the task on time
