Henri Fayol (* 1841 in Konstantinopel- Istanbul; † 1925 in Paris) was a French management theorist whose theories concerning scientific organisation of labour were widely influential in the beginning of 20th century. Often associated with Frederick Winslow Taylor‚ his theories deal with the organisation of production in the context of a competitive enterprise that has to control its production costs. Fayol was the first to identify the four functions of management: planning‚ organizing

Two of the most prominent theorists who have attempted to define management are Henri Fayol and Henry Mintzberg‚ both of which have similar and contrasting views of management. When discussing these two theories‚ one of the most commonly asked questions is: “Is the work of managers’ best described by the objectives of management or

After his graduation in 1860‚ he began working as an engineer at a large mining company in France (S.A. commentart-Fourchambault). He eventually became the director‚ at a time when the mining company employed more than 1‚000 people in. Through the years‚ Fayol began to develop what he considered to be the 14 most important principles of management. Essentially‚ these explained

1. Division of Labour This principle states that work can be performed more efficiently and productively if it is divided into smaller elements and assigning these specific elements to specific workers. This is similar to one best way of doing job as in scientific management and job specialisation in Bureaucracy. Each employee or a group of employee performs a specific task. Division of labour according to job specialisation is the main function. 2. Authority Authority is the given power (

Henri Fayol: The Administrative Theory Henri Fayol developed the Administrative Theory. While Weber emphasized the principles of an ideal bureaucratic organization‚ Fayol concentrated on the management layer. He focused on the personal duties of a manager at a much finer level than Weber did. Fayol stated that management had five principle roles: planning‚ organizing‚ commanding‚ coordinating‚ and controlling. Planning meant anticipating the future and acting towards it. Organization meant the

to effectively and efficiently manage both the organization and the people working within it. But what managers actually do and what managers should do – this is the frequent question? There were many attempts to answer it. The response of Henri Fayol was unique. With his work General and Industrial Management (1949‚ in France 1916) he is hailed as as the earliest pioneer and advocate of the task of management (Parker and Ritson‚ 2005). However‚ as each theory‚ this one has its opponents as well

However‚ it could be argued that the image portrayed by Fayol is superior to that of Mintzberg‚ and the latter’s description is of rather ineffective management! Who do you

John Stuart Mill’s explanation of the harm principle is not as useful as once believed. Although the harm principle does in fact have some logic‚ it fails to set clear and concise borders regarding what denotes allowable hate speech. The harm principle essentially states that all speech‚ including hate speech‚ should be allowed. However‚ speech that causes a definable harm must be censored. For example‚ merely offensive speech is allowed; however‚ the context of the offensive speech in question is
