THEORIES OF MANAGEMENT

CONCEPT OF MANAGEMENT
 THEORIES OF MANAGEMENT
Until the day that machines are able to think, talk, and experience
emotions, humans will remain the most complicated beings to
manage. Humans can never achieve the kind of error-free
performance that machines provide. On the upside, there are tons
of things that machines aren’t capable of doing, making humans
indispensable assets. For such reason, proper management is one
of the most crucial things for an organization.
For a long time, theorists have been researching the most suitable
forms of management for different work settings. This is where
management theories come into play. Although some of these
theories were developed centuries ago, they still provide stable
frameworks for running businesses.

 Scientific Management Theory

American mechanical engineer Frederick Taylor,

Taylor’s philosophy emphasized the fact that forcing

people to work hard wasn’t the best way to optimize
results. Instead, Taylor recommended simplifying
tasks so as to increase productivity.
 Systems Management Theory

Systems management offers an alternative approach to the

planning and management of organizations.

Theory says, the success of an organization

depends on several key elements: synergy,
interdependence, and interrelations between
various subsystems.
 Contingency Management
Theory
Fred Fiedler is the theorist behind the contingency management
theory.

Fiedler proposed that the traits of a leader were directly

related to how effectively he led. According to Fiedler’s
theory, there’s a set of leadership traits handy for every kind
of situation. It means that a leader must be flexible enough to
adapt to the changing environment.
 Authoritarian and Participative Theories
(x and y theories)

Douglas McGregor is the theorist credited with developing these two

contrasting concepts. More specifically, these theories refer to two
management styles: the authoritarian (Theory X) and participative
(Theory Y).
