MANAGEMENT THEORIES
1. Classical Management Theories
Theories were developed towards effective
management and productivity. These involves:
a. Scientific Management Theory
-Industrial Revolution started in England in 1700
-factories were established
-laissez faire policy was adapted
* government did not interfere in business
events
* capitalists exploited workers, suppliers
and consumers
Robert Owen
-The Father of
Socialism
-Became the Manager
and co-owner of New
Lanark Cotton Mill in
Scotland
-Reduced working
hours to 10.5 hours a
day
The reforms of Robert Owen became the
forerunners of Scientific Management Theory

Other Contributors:
1. Engineer Frederick Taylor
(1856-1915)
-Conducted research on time and
motion study - the best and
fastest methods of operation for
every part of the job
-Introduced the different rate
system
-Adopted rest periods during workdays
-Results of his reforms were
remarkable
* production costs decreased while
productivity, quality, income
and workers’ morale increased
3. Henry Gantt (1861-1919)
-An Industrial Engineer
-Abandoned Taylor’s
differential rate system due
to small incentive effect on
Production
-Introduced new idea
* a 50-cent bonus a day
would be given to
workers who finished
their daily work load
-Granting of bonus to supervisors who
achieved the daily standard.
* they would get a bonus for each
worker, plus an additional bonus if
all workers attained the daily
standard
* such incentive system would
motivate supervisors to train their
workers to perform well
-Adopted also Owen’s idea of rating an employee’s
work publicly
4. Frank and Lilian Gilbreth (1863-1924/1878-1972)
-Conducted studies on
Fatigue and motion
-Frank Gilbreth an
apprentice bricklayer
and became a manager
* he observed that
bricklayers perform
three different set
of motions: 1. for
1. for training apprentices
2. for working fast
3. for intentionally slowing down the
pace of their work
* he was able to develop a technique
that tripled the amount of work a
bricklayer could perform in a day
* motion and fatigue were
interdependent
* a reduction in motion is also a
reduction in fatigue
• the couple claimed that motion study would
uplift the morale of the workers due to its
physical benefits and reflection of
management concerns for the workers
2. Classical Organization Theory
-- it is concerned with the development of
management principles to increase
productivity of complex organizations like
factories.
-- such principles serve as guidelines for
managers. Contributors of Classical
Contributors of Classical Organization Theory
a. Henry Fayol (1841-1925)
-- The Father of The Classical School
-- He believed that that managers are not
made, which means management can be
learned.
-- He classified business operations into six
activities:
1. Technical – production of goods
` 2. Commercial – purchase of raw materials
and sale of goods
3. Financial – acquisition and use of funds
4. Security – protection of employees and
properties
5. Accounting – recording of financial statements
6. Management – operation of the business
3. Behavioral School
-- it emerged due to limitations of Classical
Theory(it failed to attain production efficiency ,
such limitations of the CT motivated some
individuals to introduce better concepts of
management)
-- workers did not always follow expected
patterns and behaviors
-- managers applied both physical and social
factors in managing people
-- it is composed of two approaches:
1. Human Relations Approach –
* Several experiments on human behavior were
conducted at Hawthorne Electric Plant
* Various tests, from lighting conditions to wages
and reduction of workdays were made.
* The results were not clear.
*Elton Mayo and his associates from Harvard
continued the Hawthorne experiments and
conclude that financial incentives did not improve
Incentives
• They believe that special attention should be
given to workers during the experiments
motivated them to improve their productivity
• This Theory became known as the Hawthorne
Effect.
2. Behavioral Science Approach
-- Elton Mayo and his associates started the
use of scientific method in studying people in their
work environment.
-- Researchers were trained better in the
social sciences and used more sophisticated
research methods.
-- This group became behavioral scientists
*Robert Owen *Mary Parker Follet
* Elton Mayo *Douglas McGregor
*Abraham Maslow
Quantitative Management Theory
--emphasis is the application of quantitative or
mathematical approaches to solutions
--the British organized the first operational
research team
*composed of experts in physics,
mathematics and related sciences
--operation research were improved and
formalized into management science schools
--it used statistical analysis, linear
programming, production scheduling techniques and
financial analysis.
Types of Managers
1. First-Level Managers
--lowest level of management
