ORGANIZATIONAL THEORIES
 CLASSICAL THEORY
 It is the traditional theory, wherein more
emphasis is on the organization rather than the
employees working therein. 
The classical theory has the following characteristics:
 It is built on an accounting model.
 It lays emphasis on detecting errors and correcting them once they
have been committed.
 It is more concerned with the amount of output than the human
beings.
 The human beings are considered to be relatively homogeneous and
unmodifiable. Thus, labor is not divided on the basis of different
kinds of jobs to be performed in an organization.
 It is assumed that employees are relatively stable in terms of the
change, in an organization.
 It is assumed that the authority and control should be vested with
the central authority only, in order to have a centralized and
integrated system.

science at the production floor or the operating levels.

 The major contributor of this theory is Fredrick

Winslow Taylor, and that’s why the scientific
management is often called as “Taylorism”.
CONTRIBUTORS
 BASIC IDEAS REGARDING SMT

 Developing new standard methods for doing each job

 Selecting, training, and developing workers instead of
allowing them to choose their own tasks and train
themselves
 Developing a spirit of cooperation between workers and
management to ensure that work is carried out in
accordance with devised procedures
 Dividing work between workers and management in
almost equal shares, with each group taking over the work
for which it is best fitted
 ADMINISTRATIVE THEORY
 It is based on the concept of departmentalization, which means
the different activities to be performed for achieving the common
purpose of the organization should be identified and be classified
into different groups or departments, such that the task can be
accomplished effectively.
 In the year 1916, Fayol wrote a book
entitled “Industrial and General
Administration”. In this book, he gave
the 14 Principles of Management.
