The year that the modern management theory was born was1911. This year was the year that Frederick Winslow Taylor published his book Principles of Scientific Management, where he describes the theory of scientific management which is the use of the scientific method to define the “one best way” for a job to be done. Taylor is known as the father of scientific management. He was a mechanical engineer with a Quaker Puritan background and was appalled at the inefficiency of workers. Employees used different techniques to do the same job. Taylor set out to correct the situation by applying the scientific method to jobs on the shop floor.
Another associate of Taylor was an engineer named Henry L. Gantt. He extended some of Taylor's original ideas and added a few of his own. For example, Gantt devised an incentive system that gave workers a nonus for completing their jobs in less time than the allowed standard. He also introduced a bonus for foremen to be paid for each worker who made the standard plus an extra bonus if all the workers under the foreman made it.
Gantt is most noted for creating a graphic bar chart that could be used by managers as a scheduling device for planning and controlling work.

Modern Management Theory was born with Henri Fayal who is well regarded as the father of the modern management theory
The first important Fayal's work on administration is his classic Administration Industrielle Générale (1916)
Henri Fayal rose into prominent in the field of management . It is a pity that the original "administration" was translated into English as "Management" and not admnistration
In1921 Fayal awarded a nobel prise for his research in metallurgy
