2-John Locke

England. 29 August In his efforts for Public 1632 28 October Sector/Government, he th 1704. 17 Century developed an alternative to the Philosophy. Hobbesian state of nature, and discussed a government could only be good if it received the consent of the governed, and protected the natural rights of life, liberty and estate. If such consent was not achieved, Locke argued in favor of a right of rebellion. England. 5 April 1588 4 December 1679. 17th Century Philosophy. According to Hobbes, society is a population beneath a sovereign authority, to whom all individuals in that society cede their natural rights for the sake of protection. Any abuses of power by this authority are to be accepted as the price of peace. In particular, the doctrine of separation of powers is rejected:[13] the sovereign must control civil, military, judicial and ecclesiastical powers.

4-Jean Jacques Rousseau

Switzerland. 28 June 1712 2 July 1778. 18th Century Philosophy

"Man is or was born free, and he is everywhere in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they." Jean Jacques Rousseau was a major Genevois philosopher, writer, and composer of 18thcentury Romanticism. His political philosophy heavily influenced the French Revolution, as well as the American Revolution and the overall development of modern political, sociological and educational thought. Montesquieu expounded the separation of powers in government and society. In government, Montesquieu encouraged division into the now standard legislative, judicial and executive branches. He had a grand vision for society: he was staunchly antislavery, and he was one of the first to advocate a world peace organization and social security for the poor and elderly. Samuel Adams is a controversial figure in American history. Accounts written in the 19th century praised him as someone who had been steering his fellow colonists towards independence long before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. I firmly believe that the benevolent Creator

He was a champion of inalienable individual rights and the separation of church and state. His ideas were repeated in many other liberal revolutions around the world, including the (early) French Revolution. A Public Administration & Policy Development A Case Book edited by Harold Stein. According to Stein, the Reports had three characteristic qualities: (1) they were almost all written by practitioners and hence tended to be in the nature of success stories; (2) they dealt with rather narrow and simple decision-problems; and (3) they were primarily interested in problems in organization and management, personnel, and finance; there were no cases that focused on program decisions. Waldo's career was often directed against a scientific/technical portrayal of bureaucracy and government that now suggests the term public management as opposed to public administration. Recognized the world over for his contributions to the theory of bureaucratic government, Waldo is only now taking his place as one of the most important political scientists of the last 100 years.

24Frederick W. Taylor

USA. March 20, 1856 March 21, 1915, Scientific Management Era.

Taylor is regarded as the father of scientific management, and was one of the first management consultants and director of a famous firm. Taylor believed that the industrial management of his day was amateurish, that management could be formulated as an academic discipline, and that the best results would come from the partnership between a trained and qualified management and a cooperative and innovative workforce. Each side needed the other, and there was no need for trade unions. Fayolism is one of the first comprehensive statements of a general theory of management, developed by Fayol. He has proposed that there are six primary functions of management and 14 principles of management.
