Systematic management is an approach to management that focuses on the management process rather than on the final outcome. The goals to this approach to management were:

  • To create specific processes and procedures to be used in job task completion
  • To ensure that organizational operations were economical
  • To ensure that staffing was adequate for the needs of the organization
  • To maintain suitable inventory so that the demands of consumers could be met
  • To establish organizational controls

This type of management approach was the first to directly link orderly operations, human resource management, and communication to organizational success.

Major Theorist

There are several key individuals who can be credited with the development of the systematic approach to management. Adam Smith was the earliest theorist to contribute to the idea of a need for a system in management. His book 'Wealth of Nations', published in 1776, brought about the initial belief that division of labor was the best way to increase productivity.

   

Following Smith were four more theorists who added to the systematic approach. Robert Owens, a theorist in the early 1800s, strongly believed that human resources were much more important than the focus on machinery that existed during this time. He felt that a proper management system could place the needs of the employees above all else.

 

Charles Babbage was the author of the book On the Economy of Machinery and Manufacturers. This book analyzed the state of manufacturing during the mid-1800s and gave suggestions to improve practices by the use of division of tasks.

 

Henry Towne was the president of the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company. During the late 1800s, he proposed the idea that management needed to be a separate field of study and that principles needed to be established to guide managers in various managerial situations.

 

The last theorist to mention in the area of systematic management may very well be known as the father of the school of systematic management. His name is Henri Fayol, and he was a major player in the field of management theory. Fayol was a staunch supporter for managerial education. Having served many years in the field of management, he was well versed in what worked and didn't work, and felt that managers were not born. Instead, with training and education, they could be created.

Career management is the combination of structured planning and the active management choice of one's own professional career.

The outcome of successful career management should include personal fulfillment, work/life balance, goal achievement and financial security.

A career includes all types of employment ranging from semi-skilled through skilled, and semi professional to professional. Careers have often been restricted to an employment commitment to a single trade skill, profession or business firm for the entire working life of a person. In recent years, however, a career now includes changes or modifications in employment during the foreseeable future.

The following classification system with minor variations is widely used:

  1. Development of overall goals and objectives,
  2. Development of a strategy (a general means to accomplish the selected goals/objectives),
  3. Development of the specific means (policies, rules, procedures and activities) to implement the strategy, and
  4. Systematic evaluation of the progress toward the achievement of the selected goals/objectives to modify the strategy, if necessary.
