Overview |
Management
as a practice has evolved and changed over the last century. Early scholars of management thought, such as Fredrick
Taylor and Henri Fayol, helped focus attention to the importance
of basic managerial functions, such as planning and organizing
in the early part of the last century. Since that time, our
understanding of management – while building on these early
foundations – has grown and evolved to more fully mirror the
complex environment in which organizations exist today.
