Administrative Theory (14 Principles of Management):
Division of Work: This principle the same as Adam Smith's 'Division of labour'. Authority: Manager
must be able to give the order. Authority gives this right. Discipline: Employees must obey and respect
the rules and regulations which governs the organization.
Definition: The Administrative Theory is based on the concept of departmentalization, which means the
different activities to be performed for achieving the common purpose of the organization should be identified
and be classified into different groups or departments, such that the task can be accomplished effectively.
Principle No.
At the most fundamental level, management is a discipline that consists of a set of five general
functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. These five functions are part of a
body of practices and theories on how to be a successful manager.
There are four functions of management that span across all industries. They include: planning, organizing,
leading, and controlling. You should think about the four functions as a process, where each step builds on the
others.
