Henri Fayol was a French mining engineer and management theorist who developed one of the earliest comprehensive theories of management in the early 20th century. He viewed management as a professional discipline and proposed universal principles for management, including administrative management theory and principles of management. While his work provided foundational concepts for the field of management, limitations include that his theories were based on intuition rather than empirical evidence and may be too general for today's complex organizations.
