À propos

The History of Management mind map template traces the evolution of management thought from its origins to modern contingency theory, covering 8 major schools across 61 nodes. It begins with 'seat-of-the-pants' pre-scientific approaches, then delves into Frederick W. Taylor's scientific management (including 'Rate buster' and 'soldiering'), Max Weber's bureaucratic management with principles like 'chain of commands' and 'Division of labour', and the human relations movement led by Mary Parker Follett and Elton Mayo's Hawthorne studies. Later branches explore operations management techniques (e.g., 'Quality control', 'Gantt chart'), information management milestones from 'Horses in Italy' to the 'Internet', and systems thinking with 'closed systems' and 'open systems'. The template concludes with the Contingency Approach, emphasizing context-dependent management. This structured overview serves as a comprehensive cheat sheet for students, educators, and managers seeking a historical perspective on management theory.
