    Classical organization theory developed in the late 1700s to late 1800s in response to the Industrial Revolution. There were three main theories: Max Weber's bureaucracy theory, Frederick Taylor's scientific management theory, and Henri Fayol's administrative science theory. These theories focused on standardizing work through division of labor, hierarchy and centralization of authority to increase productivity and efficiency in organizations. Elements of classical organization theory still influence management practices today.
