Quantitative management, organizational behavior, systems theory, and contingency perspective are the four theories from contemporary approaches.
Systematic management is a holistic approach to management that allows leaders to operate in complex environment, navigate through strategic uncertainty and effectively manage change in organizations. Cocheco Company uses systematic management to draw up a labor contract provisions in the 1850s.
Scientific management is a theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes workflows, improving labour productivity. One of the most famous examples of the application management is the factory Henry Ford built to produce the Model-T.
Administrative management is theory that focuses on how a business should be organized and the practices an effective manager should follow. It emphasized the perspective of senior managers within the organization, and argued that management was a profession and could be taught. In 1955, the first MacDonald’s opens and it uses administrative management.
Human relations are an approach that is aimed at understanding how psychological and social processes interact with the work situations to influence performance. This approach was the first major approach to emphasize informal work relationships and worker satisfaction.
