All these writers believed in the existence of certain universal administrative principles the application of which could make organization function more efficiently. The Classical theory is known as the Administrative Management Theory and Formal Organization Theory (S.P Naidu, 1996,p.69). Henry Fayol who as the advocator of the managerial function by advocating the principles of planning, command, coordination to organization. Fayol approaches to management contradict that of Taylor approach of scientific management. Fayol approach was broader and more systematic while classical thinkers like Gulick and Urwick , Mooney and Reiley viewed an organization as a closed system. They elaborated many principles of authority, hierarchy, division of labour to encourage cooperation and coordination in an organization. They wanted to minimize conflict in the working of organization. Thinker like Taylor focussed his attention on the management by making it work like a shop floor management while Gulick and Urwick work is limited to the study of organisation as a whole. Taylor theory was called “scientific management” that focus his attention on bringing mental revolution through increasing the productivity of the workers. Taylor tried to improve efficiency and working standards and cooperation between managers and workers. The later writers like Gulick and Urwick give important to such principles or they were some rules to help managers manage their organisation in the best possible manner and increase efficiency and economy. Hence Administrative management is the process of managing information through people. This usually involves performing the storage and distribution of information to those within an organisation Taylor propounded four principles to bring change in the working of organisation: (a) To replace the notion of “ Rule of thumb” Instead use of scientific methods to make Organisation more efficient and functional (b) Jobs should be assigned to the workers on the basis of the capability and skills (c) Performance need to be monitored and supervised. (d) To allocate work between managers and Workers. 3 University of Delhi , University of Delhi Administrative Management (Gullick, Urwick and Fayol) F. Taylor Scientific Management is a theory of management that work processes in administration. The main objective of this approach is bringing efficiency in work procedure leading to increase in labour productivity. It was one of the method to apply scientific methods to the management procedures. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management, accessed on 23 Dec,2015, 10:30am Hence, it can be said that administrative management theory is a way to develop an organisation in rational manner. This theory focus upon a structure where the principles of division of work and delegation are adopted and followed. In the next section, we will try to understand the important contributors to the administrative management theory. 1.2 Administrative Management Theorists Some of the few administrative management theorist who have contributed to the study and field of public administration are Fayol, Urwick and Gulick . These thinkers share some basic similarities with each other. First is that all of them gave importance to the structure of organisation. They believed that it is only through structure functions can be performed. There is a structure in organisation that assigns tasks to its workers and employees. They were of the opinion that organisation will be effective only when there is a well formulated structure. They have elaborated some of the principles of structure and its importance to the working of management processes. Secondly, they believed that these principles has universal claim based on the experiences of industrial organisation. They think that these principles should be applied universally for achieving better efficiency in management processes. Thirdly they believed that their ideas are not based about utopian notion, they are based on practical and real experience of industrial organisation. These ideas are more factual and empirical in nature. ”. They believed that application of these principles are important for any organisation that why they proposed for the idea of science of administration that is based on experience of organisation (Bhattacharya, 1981) .They believed that any kind of conflict hampers the efficiency of 4 University of Delhi , University of Delhi Administrative Management (Gullick, Urwick and Fayol) the working of organisation and therefore it is important that these conflicts should be minimised. They stressed on different kinds of rules and procedures, hierarchy to be followed so that organization can perform in a better way. This approach believed that for the efficiency of organization it is important that a kind of cooperation and harmony is maintained in the organization so that it leads to better performance and result. This kind of theoretical presumption supports the tradition notion of conflict theory. We will try to understand the important contributors to the Administrative Management approach are: 1.2.1 Henri Fayol 1.2.2 Henri Fayol Henri Fayol (Istanbul, 29 July 1841 – Paris, 19 November 1925). He was a French mining engineer and has developed theory of business administration. He developed his theory that was very different from scientific management theory. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Fayol, assessed on 24.12.15 at 12:30 pm. Henri Fayol propounded his theory on the basis of his own experience as a French mining engineer. He felt that there are certain important management principles that should be applied to the public organisation. He was a rational person who believed that division of labour can contribute to the efficiency of management. He believed that individuals should be associated with organisation. The function of the management was to plan, organize, command, coordinate and control and, at the same time, it had to be competent enough to elicit ‘loyalty and obedience’ from the workers. His management principles were imbibed from his experience of French army. The need for order, discipline and rationality was emphasized, Fayol spoke of individuals as ‘only a cog in a big machine, He stressed the importance of an organisation chart to clarify the line of authority, communication and to demarcate responsibilities (Organisation: Insights, 1992, p.34). Based on his experience he wrote a book ‘General and Industrial Management’ (1916). His papers on ‘The Theory of Administration in the State’ (1923), is considered as a major contribution to the theory of public administration. 5 University of Delhi , University of Delhi Administrative Management (Gullick, Urwick and Fayol) Although he has listed some of the important principles of management approach, but he has tried to describe the activities that is more of the description of the role played by managers in an organisation. There are fourteen principles that are enlisted by the Fayol based on his own experience as an administrator of public administration. They are (Stewart Clegg and David Dunkerley, 1980, p.99): 1. Division of Work: There is a need to divide work among groups and individual so that task is completed in a prescribed time. He thought that this kind of technique can utilise the skills of individual and best use of human resources is possible. 2. Authority: According to Fayol, authority is interrelated with responsibility. He believed that authority is right to give orders for the proper functioning of organisation. With every authority in organisation employee are responsible towards their organisation. 3. Discipline: Every organisation should ensure that discipline is maintained 4. Unity of Command: It is a norm where there is only one manager from whom workers receive their orders. 5. Unity of Direction: It emphasises on the principle that there should be common goal of organisation. 6. Subordination of Individual Interests to the general interest: In an organisation the interest of organization as a whole is taken care of and individual interest are sacrifice for the interest of organisation.

  • Public Administration Vs Private Administration
    Question: Difference between Public and Private Administration? The main distinction between the private sector and the public sector is principally there ownership. Private sectors are owned by shareholders or entrepreneurs while public sectors are jointly owned by members of political communities. Public agencies are funded by taxation whereas private agencies are funded by the pay of their consumers. Public sectors are controlled by political forces and private sectors are controlled by market forces. The Difference between the Private and Public Sector It is important to understand the difference between the private sector and public sector because your privacy rights will differ depending on the legislation that an organization is governed under. The Private Sector The private sector is usually composed of organizations that are privately owned and not part of the government. These usually includes corporations (both profit and non-profit), partnerships, and charities. An easier way to think of the private sector is by thinking of organizations that are not owned or operated by the government. For example, retail stores, credit unions, and local businesses will operate in the private sector. The Public Sector The public sector is usually composed of organizations that are owned and operated by the government. This includes federal, provincial, state, or municipal governments, depending on where you live. Privacy legislation usually calls organizations in the public sector a public body or a public authority. Some examples of public bodies in Canada and the United Kingdom are educational bodies, health care bodies, police and prison services, and local and central government bodies and their departments.

  • Henry Laurence Gantt the Gantt Chart Thinker 022
    Henry Laurence Gantt The Gantt Chart Thinker 022 The Gantt Chart Henry Laurence Gantt’s legacy to management is the Gantt Chart. Accepted as a commonplace project management tool today, it was an innovation of world-wide importance in the 1920s. But the Chart was not Gantt’s only legacy; he was also a forerunner of the Human Relations School of management and an early spokesman for the social responsibility of business. Life and career Henry Gantt (1861-1919) was born into a family of prosperous farmers in Maryland in 1861. His early years, however, were marked by some deprivation as the Civil War brought about changes to the family fortunes. He graduated from Johns Hopkins College and was a teacher before becoming a draughtsman in 1884 and qualifying as a mechanical engineer. From 1887 to 1893 he worked at the Midvale Steel Company in Philadelphia, where he became Assistant to the Chief Engineer (FW Taylor) and then Superintendent of the Casting Department. Gantt and Taylor worked well in their early years together and Gantt followed Taylor to Simonds Rolling Company and on to Bethlehem Steel. From 1900 Gantt became well known in his own right as a successful consultant as he developed interests in broader, even conflicting, aspects of management. In 1917 he accepted a government commission to contribute to the war effort in the Frankford Arsenal and for the Emergency Fleet Corporation. He died in 1919. Gantt’s contribution Gantt is often seen as a disciple of Taylor and a promoter of the scientific school of management. In his early career, the influence of Taylor - and Gantt’s aptitude for problem-solving - resulted in attempts to address the technical problems of scientific management.

The first comes from the very early days of management when writers tried to identify and describe the functions of management. They tell you what you should be doing. The second type tells you how you should do it. The one thing that none of the theories say is ‘To thine own self be true’ (Shakespeare, Hamlet). What this means in management terms is that if you try to copy someone else’s approach you will fail. You have to become the unique manager that you were meant to be. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have role models. Not all theories suit every management situation, take what you read and adopt and adapt those ideas, or parts of ideas, that appeal to you. Those you feel comfortable with and which you think will work in your organisation. Don’t use any approach that you feel uncomfortable with. Having observed managers in action, done a bit of reading on management theory, looked at other successful managers and gained hands-on experience of managing, your own unique management style will evolve.
