This document provides an overview of the evolution of management theories from the late 19th century to present. It discusses the classical theories including scientific management, bureaucratic management, and administrative management that emerged in the early 20th century focusing on efficiency. It then summarizes the neo-classical human relations movement and behavioral science approach. Finally, it outlines modern management theories including the quantitative approach, systems approach, contingency approach, and operational approach. The document is presented by different speakers and provides definitions and key contributors for each major stage in the development of management theories over time.

Scientific Management

21. General approach
Selected workers with

Trained workers in
standard method.
Supported workers by
planning their work and
eliminating interruptions.
Provided wage incentives
to workers for increased
output.

23. Contributions of Gilbreths :
• Scientific study of management should include
both analysis and synthesis
• Analysis-Breaking down a task into its essential
elements
• Synthesis–include necessary element for
efficient work and eliminate other elements.
• He concentrated on Motion Study and
suggested the first definition-“motion study as
the science of eliminating wastefulness
resulting from unnecessary, ill directed and
inefficient motions”
• He developed Process Chart-Over all picture of
all activities in a chart form.
