Classical management Theory is based on belief that the organisation only have physical
and economic needs as they don't believe in the emotional need ,it emphasis on the centralized
leader and his decision so the company will have profit maximization. Classical Management
Theories are introduced in the early 19th century. They are mainly associated with to improve the
efficiency and productivity of an organisation. It helps in the organisation like Hazev, Haz and
Tas to improve their service in the hotel industry. Different classical management theories are-
Scientific Management Theory
Scientific Management theories divides the work or say division of work is being done to control
the workers and improved the productivity. As in the hotel industry division of work is very
important, specialisation increase the efficiency by double so for these the managers has to
analyse the task and find out the best method to do. Employees in this industry are to be selected
carefully and give them proper training through the digital technology like online trainings.
Responsibility is to be given to specific employees so they are answerable for their part and
everyone will be clear for their work(Psomas and Jaca, 2016).
Bureaucratic Management Theory
Another theory of classical management is bureaucratic ,it operates under the system of
hierarchy in which the top management will give the direction and they will work according to
their direction. In restaurant chain industry like Hazev, Haz and Tas they need the direction from
top management to how they will perform to run and promote the industry, the top management
also use the digital techniques to promote the restaurants.

Administrative Management Theory
It also comes under the classical approach, this approach emphasise the things to be done
in systematic manner. It improves the function and overall performance of the company.

the industry. This approach is being in practice in the hotel industry so the employees can be

services to the customers. The leaders of Hazev Has and Tas also use the new digital technology

services they can attract more customers, they also gives the promotional discounts, festive
discounts so that they can increase the customers(Popli and Rizvi, 2015).
Different Leadership Styles in service sector
Autocratic Leadership
In this kind of approach the leaders have the significant control over the staff and they
will not consider the the suggestions of the workers. In this approach the decision can be done in
a faster ways and also provides the benefits at the time of crisis and removes the pressure on
employees.
Democratic Leadership
In this approach subordinates are fully involved in the decision making and every
employee will give their contribution, but the ultimately responsibility is being held by the
leader. By listening the opinion of all the employees to how they can use the digital technology
can give them the innovative idea to promote the business. Hazev Has and Tas use the Wi-Fi
infrastructure in the whole restaurants so the clients can also do their work while enjoying food.

type the leader is not only limited to head of the organisation, in the industry like Hazev, Has and
Tas fills the gap between the new opportunity and the need for anything which is practically
required. They always think strategically what the organisation is being needed naturally and
deliver that goods or services.
Team Leadership
This type of style inspires and provides a strong sense of direction to the restaurant
industry. In this type the whole team is involved to make the industry more strong among the
others. But at the same it has a chance of failure if the leadership fails.
Transformational Leadership
Transformational leadership all about to initiate the change which is being required by
the time,or by the organisation itself. As it is the chain restaurant it requires the changes by the
time it may be of interior, food quality, delivery etc. The leaders of the Hazev, Has and Tas do
