Paper Summary:

This paper describes the management theories of Frederick Taylor (Scientific Management) and Peter Drucker (Management by Objective). The author emphasis their role as successive stages in an objective approach to management rather than as psychological approaches. The paper notes that management theories follow a pendulous popularity.

From the Paper:

"The history of management theory like that of fashion has shown a pendulum effect. As hemlines have tended to move up and down over the years, management theory has swung between objective and formalized approaches in which work or business processes are analyzed and broken down into their structural and sequential components and more subjective and psychological approaches that have concentrated on workplace relationships."
