Fayolism[edit]
Main article: Fayolism
Fayol's work was one of the first comprehensive statements of a general theory of management.[6] He proposed that there were five primary functions of management and fourteen principles of management[7]
Functions of management[edit]
Forecasting
Planning[8]
Organizing
Leading
Controlling
Staffing
The control function, from the French contrôler, is used in the sense that a manager must receive feedback about a process in order to make necessary adjustments and must analyse the deviations. Lately scholars of management combined the commanding and coordinating function into one leading function.
