Fayol described the practice of management as something distinct from accounting,finance,p­­roduction,distribut­i­on, and other typical business functions... He is the first who has invented the fundamental rules of mnagment known as the "14 principles of management of Fayol"... These are the such kind of rules of managment that could be applied in all organizational situations... '"'These 14 principles are: 1.division of work: specialization increases output by making employees more efficient 2.authorities: managers must be able to give orders and authority gives them that right 3.discipline : based on obedience and respect 4. Unity of command :

every employee should receive orders from only one superior

5.Unity of direction: one boss and one plan for a group of activities having the same objective. 6. Sub ordination of individual interest to General interest : appeal to abolish the tendency ... 7.remuneration : the mode of payment of wages.. 8.centralization :

the degree on which subordinates are involved in decision making..

9.scalar chain : line of authority from top management to the lowest rank 10.order: rights things must be on right places 11.equity:

managers should be kind to their subordinates 

12.stability of tenure of personnel: management should be provide personal planning and ensure replacements are available to fill vacancies 13. Initiative :

employees allowed to originate and carry out plans will exert high levels of effort 

14.esprit de crops: Unity is strength. That was the main theme of Fayol's General administrative theory.. Scientific management :

It is an approach that involves using the scientific method to find the " one best way " for a job to be done. The scientific management contents were widely embraced by managers around the world.Taylor was able to define the "one best way" for doing each job. Overall Taylor 1. develop a science for each element of an individual's work to replace the old rule of thumb method. 2. scientifically select and then train teach and develop the worker. 3. Heartily cooperate with the workers to ensure that all work is done in accordance with the principles of the science that has been developed. 4

divide work and responsibility almost equally between management and workers. Management does all work for which it is better suited than the workers...

How today's managers use scientific management : Many of the guidelines and techniques Taylor devised for improving production efficiency and still used in organizations today.when managers analysis the basic work task that must be performed,use time and motion to eliminate wasted motions,hire the best qualified workers for a job,or design incentive systems based on output,they are using the principles of scientific management.
