The Practice of Management Can Be Traced Back Thousands of Years
• The Egyptians used management functions of planning, organizing, and controlling when they constructed the pyramids.
• Observe the next slide, it will illustrate a few of the most important management breakthroughs and practices over the last 4000 years:

Classical Management Perspective
• Scientific Management–Concerned with improving the performance of
individual workers (i.e., efficiency).–Grew out of the industrial revolution’s labor
shortage at the beginning of the twentieth century.
• Administrative Management –A theory that focuses on
managing the total organization.
![Page 6: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Scientific Management
• Concerned with improving the performance of individual workers.
• Frederick Taylor developed this system, which he believed would lead to a more efficient and productive work force.
![Page 7: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Scientific Management
• Frederick Taylor (1856–1915) –Replaced old methods of how to do work with
scientifically-based work methods to eliminate “soldiering,” where employees deliberately worked at a pace slower than their capabilities.
–Believed in selecting, training, teaching, and developing workers.
–Used time studies of jobs, standards planning, exception rule of management, slide-rules, instruction cards, and piece-work pay systems to control and motivate employees.
![Page 8: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Administrative Management
• Whereas scientific management deals with the jobs of individual employees, administrative management focuses on managing the total organization.
• Administrative management laid the foundation for later development in management theory.
• It is more appropriate for stable and simple organizations than for today’s dynamic and complex organizations.
![Page 9: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Behavioral/Human Relations Management Perspective
• Unlike the classical management perspective, the behavioral management perspective placed more emphasis on individual attitudes and behaviors and on group processes and recognized the importance of behavioral processes in the work place.
![Page 10: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Hawthorne Studies (1927–1932)
• Conducted by Elton Mayo and associates at Western Electric
–Illumination study—workplace lighting adjustments affected both the control and the experimental groups of production employees.
–Group study—implementation of piecework incentive plan caused production workers to establish informal levels of acceptable individual output.
• Over-producing workers were labeled “rate busters” and under-producing workers were considered “chiselers.”
–Interview program—confirmed the importance of human behavior in the workplace.
![Page 11: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Human Relations Movement
–Grew out of the Hawthorne studies.–Proposed that workers respond primarily
to the social context of work, including social conditioning, group norms, and interpersonal dynamics.
–Assumed that the manager’s concern for workers would lead to increased worker satisfaction and improved worker performance.
![Page 12: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Abraham Maslow–Advanced a theory that employees are motivated
by a hierarchy of needs that they seek to satisfy.• Douglas McGregor
–Proposed Theory X and Theory Y concepts of managerial beliefs about people and work.
![Page 13: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Quantitative Management Perspective
• Quantitative Management–Emerged during World War II
to help the Allied forces manage logistical problems.
–Focuses on decision making, economic effectiveness, mathematical models, and the use of computers to solve quantitative problems.
![Page 14: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Quantitative Management Perspective (cont’d)
• Management Science–Focuses on the development of representative
mathematical models to assist with decisions.• Operations Management
–Practical application of management science to efficiently manage the production and distribution of products and services.
![Page 15: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Systems Perspective
–Subsystems are more successful working together in a cooperative and coordinated fashion than working alone.
–The whole system (subsystems working together as one system) is more productive and efficient than the sum of its parts.
![Page 16: Intro. to Org.change](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5445c772b1af9f050a8b4689/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Contingency Perspective
• Universal Perspectives
–Include the classical, behavioral, and quantitative approaches.
–An attempt to identify the “one best way” to manage organizations.
• The Contingency Perspective
–Suggests that each organization is unique.
–The appropriate managerial behavior for managing an organization depends (is contingent) on the current situation in the organization.

Integrating Perspectives for Managers
• A complete understanding of management requires an appreciation of, classical, behavioral, and quantitative approaches.
• The systems and contingency perspectives can help managers integrate the three approaches and enlarge understanding of all three.
