Henry Fayol is considered to be the father of Modern Operational Management Theory. He was one of the most influential contributors to modern concepts of management, having proposed that there are five primary functions of management:-

Fayol suggested that management is a universal human activity that applies equally well to the family as it does to the corporation.
