ADMINISTRATIVE VIEW OF MANAGEMENT
1.
The Administrative Management
It is a term used for those early-day contributors who developed and taught principles to be used by
managers, both individually and collectively, to improve the performance of the overall functions of the
organization.
Henri Fayol (1841-1925) a successful French industrialist, developed theories about management he
thought could be taught to those individuals with administrative responsibilities.
Fayol's lasting contribution is the functional approach to management
a.
which is still used today. The major managerial functions, according to
Fayol, were planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and
controlling. The functions have been slightly modified several times since
Fayol. In the main, though, they still provide the basic framework for
studying management as witnessed by the organization of this and most
other principles of management texts used today. Like Weber, Fayol's
works were not translated into English for a couple of decades after his
death.

Fayol gives us 14 principles of management which are still being used
nowadays. These principles are given below:
