Come on guys it is not that big question.

THE NEED FOR MANAGEMENT THEORY

In earlier writings, Fayol noted managerial ability was essential for organizational

success. If managerial ability was important, however, then why did schools and

universities neglect managerial training to focus exclusively on teaching technical

skills? The answer, according to Fayol, was the absence of management theory.

Fayol defined theory as “a collection of principles, rules, methods, and procedures

tried and checked by general experience.”5Writing from his years of experience,

he noted that many managers theorized, but that in practice there existed many

managerial contradictions and little systematic reflection. Fayol believed that a lack

of a management theory made it more difficult to teach and practice management

because managers’ experiences were localized and not easily understood by other

managers or students of management.

Every firm required management: “Be it a case of commerce, industry, politics,

religion, war, or philanthropy, in every concern there is a management function to be

performed.”16Thus, like Charles Dupin (see Chapter4), Fayol felt that management

required special study apart from technical matters and could be taught in schools

and universities as theory was developed and codified.

This is very hard part to evaluate management theory. I agreed with the way you started.

It is great topic, but I am not able to contribute.
