Frederick W. Taylor The Principles of Scientific Management (1911)
Advocated the use of the scientific method to definethe one best way for a job to be done
Believed that increased efficiency could be achievedby selecting the right people for the job andtraining them to do it precisely in the one best way.
To motivate workers, he favored incentive wageplans.
Separated managerial work from operative work.

Develop a science for each element of an individuals work,which replaces the old rule-of-thumb method.
Scientifically select and then train, teach, and develop theworker. (Previously, workers chose their own work and trainedthemselves as best they could.)
Heartily cooperate with the workers so as to ensure that allwork is done in accordance with the principles of the sciencethat has been developed.
Divide work and responsibility almost equally betweenmanagement and workers. Management takes over all work
for which it is better fitted than the workers. (Previously,almost all the work and the greater part of the responsibilitywere thrown upon the workers).

Henri Fayol, a French industrialist, is nowrecognized as the Father of Management. Inyear 1916 Fayol wrote a book entitled
"Industrial and General Administration".
In this book, he gave the 14 Principles ofManagement. These 14 principles ofmanagement are universally accepted andused even today. According to Henri Fayol, allmanagers must follow these 14 principles.

Work should be divided among individuals andgroups to ensure that effort and attention are focused
on special portions of the task.
Fayol presented work specialization as the best way
to use the human resources of the organization.
Subdivision of work makes it simpler and results in
efficiency.
It also helps the individual in acquiring speed,accuracy in his performance.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
45/140
Specialization allows the individual to buildup experience, and to continuously improvehis skills. Thereby he can be moreproductive.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
46/140
The concepts of Authority and responsibility are
closely related. Authority was defined by Fayol as theright to give orders and the power to claim obedience.
Responsibility involves being accountable, and is
therefore naturally associated with authority. Whoever
assumes authority also assumes responsibility.
There should be a balance between the two i.e. they
must go hand in hand.
Authority without responsibility leads toirresponsible behavior whereas responsibility
without authority makes the person ineffective.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
47/140
The right to issue commands, along withwhich must go the balanced responsibilityfor its function.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
48/140
According to Fayol, Discipline means sincerity,obedience, respect of authority & observance of rules
and regulations of the enterprise.
This principle applies that subordinate should respect
their superiors and obey their order.
Discipline is not only required on path of subordinates
but also on the part of management.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
49/140
Employees must obey, but this is two-sided:employees will only obey orders ifmanagement play their part by providinggood leadership.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
50/140
Each worker should have only one boss with no other
conflicting lines of command.
In other words, a sub-ordinate should not receive
instructions from more than one person because -
- It undermines authority- Weakens discipline
- Creates confusion
- Delays the work
- Escaping responsibilities- Duplication of work
- Overlapping of efforts
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
51/140
Each worker should have only one boss withno other conflicting lines of command.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
52/140
The entire organization should be moving towards acommon objective in a common direction.
People engaged in the same kind of activities must
have the same objectives in a single plan. This is
essential to ensure unity and coordination in the
enterprise.
Unity of command does not exist without unity of
direction but does not necessarily flows from it.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
53/140
People engaged in the same kind ofactivities must have the same objectives in asingle plan. This is essential to ensure unityand coordination in the enterprise. Unity of
command does not exist without unity ofdirection but does not necessarily flowsfrom it.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
54/140
The interests of one person should not take priorityover the interests of the organization as a whole.
In an organization, there are two types of interest, theindividual interest of the employees, and the general
interest of the organization. The individual interestshould be given less importance, while the generalinterest should be given most importance. If not, theorganization will collapse.
For example, for change of location ofplant, for change of profit sharing ratio, etc.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
55/140
Management must see that the goals of thefirms are always paramount.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
56/140
Remuneration is the price for services received. If anorganization wants efficient employees and best
performance, then it should have a good
remuneration policy. This policy should give
maximum satisfaction to both employer and
employees.
It should include both financial and non-financial
incentives (free education, insurance, medical& residential facilities).
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
57/140
Payment is an important motivator althoughby analyzing a number of possibilities, Fayolpoints out that there is no such thing as aperfect system
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
58/140
Centralization means concentration of authority at the top level.In other words, centralization is a situation in which top
management retains most of the decision making authority.
Decentralization means disposal of decision making authority to
all the levels of the organization. In other words, sharing authority
downwards is decentralization.
According to Fayol, Degree of centralization or decentralization
depends on no: of factors like size of business, experience of
superiors, dependability & ability of subordinates etc.
Anything which increases the role of subordinate isdecentralization & anything which decreases it is centralization.
Fayol suggested that absolute centralization or decentralization is
not feasible. An organization should strike to achieve a lot
between the two.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
59/140
This is a matter of degree depending on thecondition of the business and the quality ofits personnel.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
60/140
Scalar Chain is a line of authority. This line joins allthe members (managers and employees) from top to
bottom. Every member must know who his superior
is. He must also know who his subordinate is. Scalar
Chain is necessary for good communication. Scalar
Chain must not be broken in norm circumstances.
However, if quick action is necessary, then this chain
can be broken. This is done using "Gang Plank"
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
61/140
A hierarchy is necessary for unity of direction.But lateral communication is alsofundamental, as long as superiors know thatsuch communication is taking place. Scalar
chain refers to the number of levels in thehierarchy from the ultimate authority to thelowest level in the organization. It should notbe over-stretched and consist of too-many
levels
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
62/140
There should be an Order for Things and People in
the organization. Order for things is called Material Order. Order for
people is called Social Order.
Material Order refers to "a place for everything and
everything in its place."
Social Order refers to the selection of the "right man
in the right place".
There must be orderly placement of the resourcessuch as Men and Women, Money, Materials, etc.
Misplacement will lead to misuse and disorder.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
63/140
Both material order and social order arenecessary. The former minimizes lost timeand useless handling of materials. The latteris achieved through organization and
selection.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
64/140
The employees should be treated with fairness, kindness &
justice if devotion is expected of them. It implies that managers should be fair and impartial while
dealing with the subordinates.
They should give similar treatment to people of similar
position. They should not discriminate with respect to age, caste, sex,
religion, relation etc.
Equity is essential to create and maintain cordial relations
between the managers and sub-ordinate.
But equity does not mean total absence of harshness.
Fayol was of opinion that, at times force and harshness might
become necessary for the sake of equity.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
65/140
In running a business a combination ofkindliness and justice is needed. Treatingemployees well is important to achieveequity.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
66/140
Employees work better if job security and career progress are
assured to them. An insecure tenure and a high rate of
employee turnover will affect the organization adversely
According to Fayol. Time is required for an employee to get
used to a new work & succeed to doing it well but if he is
removed before that he will not be able to render worthwhile
services.
As a result, the time, effort and money spent on training the
worker will go waste.
Stability of job creates team spirit and a sense of
belongingness among workers which ultimately increase the
quality as well as quantity of work.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
67/140
Employees work better if job security andcareer progress are assured to them. Aninsecure tenure and a high rate of employeeturnover will affect the organization
adversely.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm

Management should encourage initiative. That is,they should encourage the employees to suggest
ideas, experiences& new method of work.
It helps in developing an atmosphere of trust and
understanding
It creates eagerness to initiate actions without being
asked to do so.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm
69/140
Allowing all personnel to show theirinitiative in some way is a source of strengthfor the organization. Even though it maywell involve a sacrifice of personal vanity
on the part of many managers.
8/10/2019 Principles of Management PPT Midterm

Management must foster the morale of its employees.He further suggests that: real talent is needed to
coordinate effort, encourage keenness, use each
persons abilities, and reward each ones merit
without arousing possible jealousies and disturbing
harmonious relations.
Here Fayol emphasizes the need for building and
maintaining of harmony among the work force , teamwork and sound interpersonal relationships.

You are driving along in your car on a wild,
stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly
you pass by a bus stop, and you see three
people waiting for a bus
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,
knowing very well that there could only be one
passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once
actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is
going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he
once saved your life, and this would be the
perfect chance to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your
perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants)
had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess
what was his answer?
He simply answered:
"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let
him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind
and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to

Rationality Managers make consistent, value-maximizing
choices with specified constraints.
Assumptions are that decision makers:
Are perfectly rational, fully objective, and logical.
Have carefully defined the problem and identified allviable alternatives.
Have a clear and specific goal
Will select the alternative that maximizes outcomes inthe organizations interests rather than in theirpersonal interests.

Bounded Rationality
Managers make decisions rationally, but are limited(bounded) by their ability to process information.
Assumptions are that decision makers:
Will not seek out or have knowledge of all alternatives Will satisficechoose the first alternative encountered that
satisfactorily solves the problemrather than maximize theoutcome of their decision by considering all alternatives andchoosing the best.
Influence on decision making
Escalation of commitment: an increased commitment to aprevious decision despite evidence that it may have beenwrong.

Traditional Goal Setting Broad goals are set at the top of the organization.
Goals are then broken into sub-goals for eachorganizational level.
Assumes that top management knows best
because they can see the big picture. Goals are intended to direct, guide, and constrain
from above.
Goals lose clarity and focus as lower-level
managers attempt to interpret and define the goalsfor their areas of responsibility.

Criticisms of Planning
Planning may create rigidity.
Plans cannot be developed for dynamicenvironments.
Formal plans cannot replace intuition and creativity.
