Henri Fayol, a mining engineer by training and practice, went down in history of world economics as the founder of the classical school of modern management.Famous principles Fayol today become a fundamental reference point in planning and practical organization of the management of any company operating in a market economy.As director of the mining company, in 1916 he published a paper in which both opened its 14 principles Fayol, named after him in recognition for his contribution to the development of management theory.
In this work are summarized A.Fayol management practices, which he applied, as in various management positions in mining operations.Their logic processing, classification and systematization, eventually developed into a coherent theory of management, which is now recognized worldwide.
theory Fayol starting point is the allocation of the main functions of management as absolutely specific, a special activity.These functions are treated as autonomous Fayolle direction of the management process, in which there is a qualitative change in the business process.Management Fayol doctrine includes the following areas (functions): planning, coordination, motivation, control and organization.Of course, some of these provisions were known to Fayol, but to his credit is that he is not merely systematized and justified for a fundamentally new for its time, economic activity, but withdrew from them the principles of economic management, and brought it all tocoherent system concept.
functions that called the Fayolle, management principles formulated by them, provide guidance for work to build an effective management system.To improve the efficiency of the management staff of the company, Fayolle has formulated 14 principles of management, each of which makes a concrete contribution to improving the quality of management.
division of labor, as the organizing principle of administrative hierarchy, provides an increase in the rate of production of works at all sites due to accumulation of efforts on the most important task at the moment.This Fayolle governance principles in relation to the final decision worded in such a way that it should always be taken alone the head.
authority and responsibility - a principle that emphasizes the need for strict management of the company hierarchy as a hierarchy provides a distribution of powers, a clear division of labor and responsibility.
Discipline promotes best management organization.As pointed out by Fayolle, the logic of the process, it acts as the most important component of management.
Unity of command ensures efficiency in decision-making and promotes the responsibility of any leader average.
Unity direction somewhat compensates and inhibits expression of the unity of command in the management, it takes into consideration the views of all members of the task at the stage of the search for optimal solutions, as claimed Fayolle.
management principles, despite the fact that they are aimed primarily at management, suggest that a large proportion of the work should be directed at staff.That kind of work and devoted to principles such as the dominance of corporate interests over personal, workplace stability and procedure, initiative and team spirit.The main principles of linking the work of the manager and HR, are such as justice and compensation.The stability of the entire control system is provided by the principles of centralization and the need to establish the enterprise scalar chain, ie a situation where possible a painless replacement of retiring managers in the passage of administrative action.
As he emphasized Fayolle, management principles are almost universal, but their implementation is still necessary to take into account the specific situation in order to be applied flexibly.
