Henry Fayol

In the semester spent in my subject of organization theory talk about the classics of the administration and one of these is Henri Fayol (Istanbul, 29 July 1841 – Paris, 19 November 1925) was a French mining engineer and director of mines who developed a general theory of business administration that is often called Fayolism. He and his colleagues developed this theory independently of scientific management but roughly contemporaneously. Like his contemporary, Frederick Winslow Taylor, he is widely acknowledged as a founder of modern management methods.  

Fayol's work was one of the first comprehensive statements of a general theory of management. He proposed that there were five primary functions of management and fourteen principles industrial and commercial operations.

I fayol speak because basically made great contributions to the various administrative levels. His theory is studied until today, because I caused great impact on the administration of that time and provides the basis for new theories.

On this subject speak of several authors, but the one I remember is Fayol and his theory
