This theory provides clearly designed rules for the
employees and the manager based on the
hierarchies of the companies.
THEORY
BUREAUCRATIC
The Manager should adapt any act that suits
favourable in the situation in critical time
period in order to complete the projects.
THEORY
CHAOS
In this theory the manager tasks are assumed to
be made up of different sub tasks. The manager
should complete these subtasks systematically .
THEORY
SYSTEM
The Manager work is just another business
activity which consists of a list of
responsibilities that the manager has to
complete.
ADMINISTRATIVE
THEORY

CRITICAL EVELUATION OF THEORIES IN THE GIVEN CONTEXT
Bureaucratic theory is best suited
for the organization since it gives
systematic, organized and pre-
defined approaches to manage the
team for a manager
The management theories also
should be analyzed keenly. For an
example the manager should not
follow the chaos theory too much
because that will kill the innovation
and creativeness of the employee.
The trait and the behavioral theories
are not followed by the business
companies that much. A leader can
develop new skills for good
leadership (contradicts trait theory).
Also it is difficult to understand and
alter the behaviour of the
employees
(contradicts Behavioral Theory).
The most widely followed
leadership theory is contingency
theory. This is because the Leader
needs to adapt different leadership
styles in order to make efficient and
effective progress with the team
members.
