ABSTRACT:
The 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
decentralized companies. There are a few other changes that need to be made to
bring Fayol’s principles into the 21st century but these are largely small modifications.
These alterations reflect changes in the motivation of staff.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Henry Fayol could be called one of the
founders of management education practice. As with many things though,
what our fathers and founders thought is no longer particularly relevant to
this new, more advanced, broader, more global, more technologically
advanced world in which we live. The remarkable turn of the event here
though is that principles designed over 100 years ago are still as relevant to
companies as they were then. Fayol had his detractors of Mintzberg and the
range of other academies who believed in his ideas existed in a fantasy world,
completely removed from the actual action the manager takes. Arguing that
while a manager will quote the principles taught to him in Management
school, the reaction will not reflect these. Instead of developing his principles
in the halls of academia though, Fayol devised his principles, theories and
methods while the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of a vertically integrated
mining concern. Starting his career as a mining engineer, he would go down
things that reduced the productivity of the mines he worked in. Advancing this
process as moved higher in a management position, attempting to redirect the
company to focus on proper administration, proper record keeping and
effective principles of management that all staff could understand and be
guided by.
2. WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT:
The organisation has a great overall direction for determining
performance. For instance, while ascertaining the promotion of an
employee, may manager can contemplate seniority, whereas the other may
follow the principle of quantity.
