While reviewing the Historical Management theories whilst keeping in mind my current organization, Franciscan Ministries (FMI), it became apparent that the approach they take is derived from Max Weber, Henri Fayol, and Lyndall Urwick Classical Management Theory.
Franciscan Ministries has focused on structuring their organization based on Weber concepts of division of labor, centralization of authority, and organizational rules and regulations (Pryor, M.
G., Humphreys, J. H., Taneja, S., & Toombs, L. A. Pg. 963). The basics of the Historical
Management Theory, which is also known as the Bureaucratic Management Theory, are defined roles each individual as, the hierarchal structures, and the set rules and regulation everyone has to follow.
Just as many other organizations FMI has created job roles for each individual position.
After the initial training period each employee is expected to be able to complete all the task delineated in their job description with accuracy and proficiency. Not only does FMI hold their employees to their job description they have also created a system that reviews the employees and leaders performance at the end of each fiscal year. This annual performance review is based on their job description and the quality of the work. Each area of their performance is given a grade between 0 and 4. After obtaining an average it is then translated to the percentage, and that percentage is translated into your annual merit increase. This practice is a great

Performance sheets of different departments will be drafted to assess their performance. Since the company 's net revenue is going to be -$50,000, a change in net income will mean that the training was effective. If the company hits its target of ten percent annual turnover, it will prove the training had a serious impact on different departments. The final results of the impact of this planning will be reached after assessing different departments before the training. It will be through recording how much each department contributes to the company. The monitoring of this training will be through supervisors who also act as middle managers of the company. They will observe and record progress of different employees and give recommendations.
There are five grade sets, namely fail (N: 0-49%), pass (P: 50-59%), credit (C: 60-69%), distinction (D: 70-79%), and high distinction (HD: 80-100%).
The main focus behind the development of management theory is the quest for good ways to make use of managerial means. Management theory evolves constantly with the continuous stream of new ideas that come from the attempts to transform theory into practice, and vice versa (Aguinaldo & Powell, 2002). Progression in management theory normal happen as key personnel discover great methods to accomplish the most important management responsibilities: planning, organiz-ing, leading, and controlling human and other managerial means. This paper will show how man-agement theory having to do with suitable management processes has emerge in modern times, and view the main aspects that have led to its prosperity.
French mining engineer, Henri Fayol graduated in 1860. He later became the director-general of Comambault, a company who was at the verge of bankruptcy. Fayol successfully reformed the company into one of the largest industrial combines of Europe after his retirement. Fayolism or Administrative theory was developed in 1900s with the focus that management should be considered as an essential skill of life and should be separated from any technical knowledge. He believed that everyone perform certain administrative functions in their everyday lives (Lynch and Robert G., 2013). The theory emphasizes that the success of an organization was determined by the administrative ability of its leader as oppose to their technicality.
The idea of management has changed over the years in order for their approach to working with different people and new technology. This has taken place in the new society and world of business. The way the world keeps changing from year to year is the reasoning for the different approaches to management systems. Research has shown a big change in just three years and still continues today, by becoming experts to working in teams and focus on putting their clients with great service. The CEO would also, come to each SunTrust Bank to stay in touch with team member on how to connect with clients. Team members were pushed in making more sales to promote a profitable growth by helping clients to make the right decision that best fits their investment needs (Slaughter, 2011).
Frederick Taylor and Henri Fayol were both theorists of the classical management movement. The classical approach was the framework to what management is all about. Therefore it can be said that they laid the foundation for many theorists. Frederick Taylor was an important theorist of the early 20th century and he made many important contributions to management. He proposed the principles of scientific management which he believed would improve industrial efficiency. He believed management could be formulated as a discipline. Taylor’s principles of scientific management focused on cooperation between management and the workers as well as improving the technical skills of the workers (Hodgetts, 1995). His approach is often referred to
