organizing and controlling the resources and operations for achieving the corporate objective of
the venture. The diverse reforms in the organizational operations are specifically grounded on
the productivity of the operations in orientation with the requirements of the venture. Pugna,
Dutescu and Stanila (2018) opined that the diverse range of operations that are instigated by the
organizations are critically balanced through the exposition of strategic management. In this
relation, the discussion will examine the diverse aspects of scientific and administrative
management principles while evaluating their applicability in the organizational operations.
Scientific Management
Scientific management theory is aimed at analysing and synthesizing the workflows
resulting to economic productivity and productivity of the workforce. Savino (2016) stated that
the Taylorism or scientific management theory aimed at improving the productivity of the
workforce productivity while working in the diverse markets. The induction of scientific theories
for managing the organizational processes enabled the venture in continuing with the
productivity of the operations in orientation with the requirements of the venture. Lauer
Schachter (2016) reflected that he productivity of the organizations are specifically grounded on
the productivity of the labour force and the manner in which the same contributes to sustainable
aims of the business. In this relation, the scientific management theory permits an organization
in developing scientific means of empowering the productivity of the venture.
The change in the economic aspects of the organization is facilitated through the
increased productivity of the workforce. In this relation, the diverse changes that are instigated
by the organizations are focused on motivating the employees to empower the productivity of the
same. Bruce (2016) defined scientific management as an important part of controlling and
administering the functions of the workforce grounded on psychological aspects of the

workforce. Therefore, the application of the scientific management theories in an organizational
context permits a venture in encouraging the involvement of the employees in the diverse
processes. The inter-trust relation between the management and the workforce would enable the
organizations in increasing their productivity through collaboration among the workforce and the
development of inter- trust factors.
The diverse reforms in the organizational operations are specifically grounded on the
productivity of the operations while working in the diverse markets. Schachter (2018) opined
that scientific management plays a major role in integrating the efforts of the workforce towards
the achievement of collective objectives of the venture. The scientific management related
administration in an organization permits the same in scientifically selecting and devising diverse
strategies with the objective of working as per the requirements of the venture. The application
of scientifically proven techniques and mechanisms would enable the organization in
maximizing the profitability along with the performance of the businesses.
The assessment of the workflows and the manner in which the same might be regulated
and controlled permits an organization in empowering the productivity and performance of the
same. Su (2017) stated that cooperation with workers and developing collaboration between the
management and the workforce are the major considerations that are calculated through scientific
management. The collaborations with the management permits an organization in increasing the
productivity of the operations in orientation with the requirements of the venture. The diverse
changes in the organizational operations are specifically grounded on the productivity of the
operations while working in the diverse markets (Dalcher 2017). The diverse factors that are
empowered by scientific management are based of training and development of the workforce
while examining the skill based requirements of the same. The improved rate of collaboration

among the workers permit the organizations in improving the productivity. Therefore, the
scientific management theory critically permits an organization in developing the resource based
view and the strategic capabilities. The scientific management principle of an organization
permits a venture in dividing and allocating tasks as per the expertise of the people.
Therefore, Bruce (2016) noted that scientific management not only permits an
organization in improving the relation and collaboration among the management and the
workforce but also improves the productivity of the organizations relating to economic gains.
The induction of scientific theories into the process design through control and administrative
operations permits the organizations in continuing with the productivity of the operations as per
the requirements of the venture. The reforms in the organizational operations are grounded on
the involvement of workforce on the diverse processes while improving the process designs.
Administrative Management
The administrative management principle of an organization permits the same in
continuing with the productivity of the operations through the transmission of information
among the people. Godwin et al. (2017) opined that the flow of operations of an organization is
related to the productivity of the communication process which interlinks the diverse
departments and the management for improving the rate of operations. Moreover, Hatchuel and
Segrestin (2019) reflected that diverse reforms that are planned by the organizations are reliant
on the effectiveness of communication between the diverse departments. Therefore, the
administrative management based operations in an organization involves the controlling and
planning based operations for transmitting data among the diverse departments.
The functions that were indicated by Henry Fayol’s AMT is related to planning,
organizing, co-ordinating, directing and controlling grounded on organizational situations

(Amirkhani 2016). The diverse functions, under the theoretical framework, is aimed at
perfecting the management’s approach towards the operations of the venture in orientation with
the strategic requirements. The scientific approach in the theoretical framework is devised
through the enumeration of equality collaboration, team spirit and structured management of the
diverse operations that are planned by the businesses. Meynhardt, Chandler and Strathoff (2016)
stated that management of information through interactions permits a management in improving
the process structure and performance while developing a cogitation on the risks. Induction of
structured management systems in an organization not only empowers the same in increasing the
productivity but also encourages the involvement of the employees in the diverse processes.
The equal distribution of the tasks as per the expertise of the diverse departments and the
centralization of the management permits an organization in improving the effectiveness of the
business level operations. Pugna, Dutescu and Stanila (2018) reflected that the application of
administrative management in an organization permits the same in establishment information
systems for improving the rate of collaboration among the chief stakeholders. The collective
operations of an organization permits the same in improving collaboration among the
stakeholders while devising policies for growth and expansion of the venture. On the
contrary,Seidenstricker, Rauch and Battistella (2017) noted that the orderliness of the functions
and the transmission of strategic aims permits a venture in improving the inter-trust collaboration
between the management and the employees. Therefore, the application of administrative
management principles in management practices not only supports the businesses in maximizing
the tasks but also permits in improving the performance of the workforce.
Fayol’s principles of management critically examined the diverse steps that are being
undertaken by the organizations with the objective of analyzing and solving the problems

creatively. Amirkhani (2016) stated that the diverse changes in the organizational operations are
critically grounded on the productivity of the operations while working in the diverse markets.
Again, the delineation of the scalar chain in the organizational management, as per the Fayol’s
model, permits a business in establishing efficient structure to the business processes. Structural
changes in the organizations and the application of administrative management enable an
organization in improving the operations in orientation with the common objectives of the
venture. On the contrary,the allocation of tasks and the effective division of works among the
diverse departments would allow the organizations in improving the rate of operations as per the
requirements of the venture. Strategic management in an organization is specifically the outcome
of the evaluation and synthesis of workflows and the manner in which the issues might be
resolved.
Hatchuel and Segrestin (2019) stated that mitigation of the issues and the enumeration of
diverse management based concepts enable an organization in retaining the performance of the
venture while working in the diverse markets. The technological, commercial, managerial and
security based functions that are planned by the organizations are mostly reliant on the
administrative management related operations of the businesses. Pugna, Dutescu and Stanila
(2018) reflected that planning, organizing, coordinating, implementing and controlling functions
are effectively managed through the implementation of administrative management based
operations. Therefore, the improvements in the organizational operations are specifically
grounded on the administrative control and efficient functioning of the management systems
through flow of work related information.

Conclusion
Therefore, the diverse forms of management permits an organization in not only
assessing the capabilities of the same but also encourage the involvement of the employees in the
diverse process designs. During the assessment it has been found that the administrative and
scientific management related operations of an organization permits in encouraging involvement
of the diverse stakeholders in the business processes while improving the process design and
operations of the same in the diverse markets. The theories relating to Taylorism and Fayolism
increased the productivity of the management functions through predefining the requirements for
planning, coordinating, implementing and controlling the operations as per the urgency of
businesses.
