Evolution of Management

The picture above shows how management evolved and changed with times. The style of management seen today is far different from the ones used in the previous century but it definitely has its roots dug in its predecessors.

Classical Approach:
Classical approach to management is dated back to the Industrial Revolution. The classical approach was an approach that places significance on management principals of unity of command, a balance between authority and responsibility, division of labor, and delegation to establish relationships between managers and subordinates. This approach constitutes the core of the discipline of management and the process of management.
Systematic Management:
Systematic management is an approach to management that promotes the breakdown of job duties. It enables both management and employees to see small sections of the bigger picture. It also allows for planning, forecasting, and budgeting being more efficient. This approach to management evolved throughout the late 1700's and early 1800's, but did not come to the forefront until the 1890's to 1900's.
Adam Smith, Charles Babbage and Henry Towne were some of the few believers of this theory and insisted that division of labor was the best way to increase productivity.
Scientific Management:
Scientific management theory is a theory of management founded by Frederick W. Taylor and supplemented by others, including Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The theory uses engineering, science, and mathematics to reduce waste and increase the efficiency of the methods and process of production. A frequent tool used in this theory is a time and motion study, where you break a work task down to its component parts and determine the most efficient motions to complete
