Fredrick Taylor, in 1911,
seemed to introduce the term of management in companies while publishing The
Principles of Scientific Management. Taylor explained the scientific foundation
of improvement in organizations, work, and management. His purpose was
concerned with the promotion of prosperity and resolving all the social issues
present (Taylor, 1967).
Actually, management is
capable of being divided into social management and industrial management. The
objective of industrial management was concerned with utilizing material
resources, capital, and human in the most effective manner, and it was based on
different hierarchies. Machines are also handled by industrial management for
production due to which, profits were increased and costs were lowered
(Weatherly, 2009). This management type of exemplified by Henry Ford when the
assembly line was introduced by him in his factory of cars (1913). Mary Parker
and Henri Fayol also followed the same method. The categorization of human
beings was avoided by these managers on the same standard as capital and
material. Management, at the time, was recognized to have the greatest
influence on the organization by controlling, organizing, planning,
coordination, commanding, and forecasting. It was stated by Mary Parker that
management is actually an art of making people complete things (Barrett, 2003;
Golden Pryor &Taneja, 2006).
When industrial style began to
enter the social atmosphere, more attention was paid to humans (Mayo
&Proske, 1949). Researches at the Hawthorne factory, in the 1930s,
indicated that performance of work seems to rely on industrial restrictions or
objective restrictions and on social and human limitations, and this was the
‘Hawthorne effect' accordingly (Mayo &Proske, 1949). Moreover, society
advanced to an era revolving around service from the era of industries. The
competition began to increase with the quickly expanding markets, product
developments, and internationalization. As social management developed, human
beings were not seen as resources like machines and they were determined to be
pivotal for a company. Moving on, fair treatments were valued and
considerations were given to the social and private life of a worker. Daily
life was seemingly characterized by reciprocal influence, cooperative acting,
and planning (Weatherly, 2009).
These are the branches in
which management was divided: IT management, financial management,
sales/marketing management, strategic management, operations management, and
management of the human resource. These branches combined motivation, controlling,
staffing, organizing, and planning of their workers. This approach to
management, at this moment, is still being utilized in companies.
