Evolution of Management Theories

The document discusses the evolution of management theories from early ideas to modern approaches. It begins with early influences from Sun Tzu's The Art of War on strategy and Machiavelli's The Prince on leadership. Scientific Management in the late 19th century focused on organizational efficiency. The behavioral approach emerged in the early 20th century in response to the Hawthorne Studies emphasizing human factors. Management science applied quantitative techniques in the 1940s. Systems Theory in the 1950s-60s viewed organizations holistically. Later approaches included Contingency Theory matching strategies to situations, Theory Z involving workers, and Chaos Theory recognizing uncertainty. Modern learning organization and business process management approaches emphasize continuous learning and process improvement.

transfer an effective device from one culture to

*From World Executive Digest by William Newman, 1984


**From World Executive Digest by Sixto Roxas, 1981

The models and ideal types taught in Westernoriented MBA programs are based on certain
assumptions, many of which are invalid in the
Philippines.
Although organizations here have most of the
structures and formal procedures of Western
business, actual day-to-day business processes and
interactions necessarily proceed within the matrix
of Filipino culture and values.
Thus, the need for the Westerner to go "the extra
mile" to understand what's really going on and
adapt a culturally sensitive style of doing business.

Henderson Consulting International
