essay management
fayol test of time rdggggggggggggg In my opinion, both represent the same argument and agree on most factors. Fayol outlines what management should be and Mintzberg doesn 't disagree that this is desirable, however he lists what the managerial role consists of through his observations. Fayol 's principles today are still relevant and are interrelated to studies such as that of Mintzberg and Kotter.
A quote by Mintzberg sums up all:
"If you ask managers what they do, they will most likely tell you that they plan, organize, co-ordinate and control. Then watch what they do. Don 't be surprised if you can 't relate what you see to those four words" I believe this shows how Mintzberg and Fayol 's work are interrelated and both valid and shows how Fayol 's theoretical perspective of what managers aim to be still exists but has not been achieved by managers which is shown through observations from Mintzberg and others. I believe that all of the management models discussed in the article Mintzberg(1973) Fayol and Kotter are valid today and represent a slightly different view of the same core points, and so based on this Fayol 's work has not been made redundant but is still a credible source and should be considered alongside the more recent empirical studies such as Mintzberg and Kotter.
