Discussion
Proper Assessment of Few Classical Management Theories
Management theories are extremely important for dealing with the several issues and
complexities that are being faced in the organizations. The proper assessment of few classical
management theories is as follows:
i) Frederick Taylor’s Scientific Management: The first as well as the most
significant management theory is the Frederick Taylor’s scientific management (Chemers
2014). The employee productivity is being optimized with this theory and the principles help
in determining the scientific method that should be used on the basis of personal discretion
and judgment.
ii) Henri Fayol’s Principles of Administrative Management: This particular
management theory focuses on top down approach and there are 14 principles of
administration that are used by managers to organize and interact with the employees. The
employee teamwork and initiatives are majorly promoted by these principles.
iii) Max Weber’s Bureaucratic Management: The third classical management theory
is bureaucratic management. This particular management theory follows a proper hierarchical
chain of command and the managers promote their employees on the basis of their
qualifications and not personal relations (Daft 2014). Hence, a strict management of
regulations is possible here.
Detailed Explanation of the Role of a Leader and Several Leadership Styles

company, motivating the employees and finally guiding the staff in the entire process of work
