Revision -- management models

We can seen that from my previous posts , I did not writs any information about management model . In my view , that is a important factor which could affect a organization . The main variables will be identify in a situation that is the target of models, and models also aim to identify the relationships between them :the more accurately they do so , the more useful they are .Due to the situation is unique . So there are many types of management models .


In my opinion , the theory of  management model could be grouped as four parts -- classical management theory , human relations theory , non-human relations theory and system theory . Moreover , in this post , I will focus on the classical management theory .
Classical Management Theory 
The definition of classical management theory is that management takes place within a structured organizational setting with prescribed roles . It is directed towards the achievement of aims and objectives through influencing the efforts of others .
Henri Fayol was the first person to actually give a definition of management which is generally familiar today namely 'forecast and plan , to organize , to command , to  co-ordinate and to control '. In addition , Fayol also gave much of the basic terminology and concepts , which would be elaborated upon by future researchers , such as division of labour , scalar chain , unity of command and centralization .


Moreover , Max Weber suggest that the bureaucracy is the best way to run a organization . Bureaucracy could be defined as a system in which people are expected to follow precisely defined rules and products rather than use personal judgment . In terms the characteristics of bureaucracy management , initially , the behavious  of employees would be defined and controlled . The employees need follow these ensure uniform produces and operations . For example , the top manager to ordinate middle managers , and the employees will be controlled by the middle managers. Secondly , that is impersonality , because rules will lead to impersonality . In a organization which running by bureaucracy management , employees need to follow many rules . That mean's they will lack their own mind and decision . Furthermore , employees will lack of ability of creatively . New products is difficult to produce and provide. That is not good for a company's development , because attracting customers will be difficult . In addition , bureaucracy management also is hierarchical structure . There is a clearly structure . Each lower position is under the control of high position . For the positive side , that has a clearly structure . Therefore , each manager has different responsibility for different task and employees . Moreover , that is more easy to control the whole organization . For the negative side , that is not good for lower employees' development . Also , the top manager only can gain the comment and idea from the middle managers . However the lower manager and employees do not have an opportunity to communication with top managers .


Nowadays , many international company and organization pay attention on the culture of businesses and companies , such as Google , Apple and Microsoft . Also , companies more focus on the lowest employees . For example the company will provide opportunities to communicate with top manager , and invite one of lowest employees join their summit . Therefore , an increasing number of company use other management model , such as human relation .
To sum it , this is a management model that is bureaucracy which I want introduce to yours .
