Management theories have been the subject matter
view for over the decades as there are schools of thoughts that affirms certain
ways of managerial practices whereas other contradicts them. Three distinctive
schools of thoughts included in this essay are namely; classical management
theory, neo-classical management theory and modern management theory
respectively. Classical theories emphasise heavily on scientific methods,
administrative approach and bureaucratic structures for managerial practices
while focusing on the task efficiency. On the other hand, neo-classical school
of thoughts looked at the human’s individual needs, their relations at work,
behavioural aspects and motivations behind effectiveness. Lastly, the modern
management school found “no one fit method for all situations” by considering
systems, contingent approaches while organisational humanism and management
science as core concept to operate in the dynamic environment. Additionally,
the latest work of Foucault and Bourdieu is used to explain the modernity of
management. The present trends and issues in the management practices are also
addressed at the end.
