Management Evolution With the evolution of management as our guide towards the welfare of our society.. How come some organization whether it is in private or public or government does not follow it. The way they treat their employees is so irrational when it comes to decision making!

Evolution of Management Management has evolved over centuries at home by the chief architect of the kitchen, viz. a family mother who has fed her family with whatever is available and satisfied the needs of everyone around.
I consider the mother to be the best manager in it's true spirit, and continues to be even today in some societies of the world, whether they are considered forward or backward.

Why Did Management not Change? For over a decade I have been observing numerous and major changes in every aspect of our life, at home, at office, at school, everywhere and even society as a whole.
However did management transform itself at the pace of our change? I believe it didn't... We are still referring to Taylor... Etc.
Why did the current management and economics theory and practices fail to follow these changes so they can immediately cure our sick macro/global economy?

Adaptation of Management to IT Changes Yesterday I had a discussion with a work mate at office about the profession 'management', and we shared the same feeling that management - unlike other fields - couldn't equally benefit and grow according to the progress in IT and communication science.

Adaptation is the Key to Management Management has evolved over centuries and if it has to succeed it has to adapt to the changes in the environment otherwise it will not sustain and it will become useless.

Adaptation of Management to IT If we have...
- Everybody to plan his own work or if we have planners,
- Controllers to control
- Any top management group or an engineer or banker etc managing an engineering company, mph managing a medical center, a banker /accountant managing a bank...
... what is then the need for management graduates? However we may need management as a profession because any person needs management skills...
Nevertheless I like the management profession and I even want to take my second degree in MBA.

Origin of Management Please, I would like to know the origine of management. Is it coming from the USA school or from the French school?
Which is the first one among these two schools to have developed the idea of management. Thank you.

Evolution of Management Thought @Mezaache ali:
- Certain concepts of organization and administration already existed in Egypt in 1300BC.
- Confucius, Kautilya, Roman Catholic church and the Cameralists (a group of German and Austrian public administration) are few early contributors to management thought.
- After World War I the concept started growing and gained impetus after World War II because of growing competition, the complexity of managing large businesses, technological innovation, increase in capital investment, the freedom at national and international markets, and a higher degree of division of labour and specialization.

Evolution of Management Thinking Certain forms of management existed already in Egypt in 1300 B.C.
Management thinking can be classified into 3 broad categories:
- THE CLASSICAL APPROACH. This approach has 3 branches
- Scientific Management: F.W. Taylor (1856-1915)-emphasized that productivity-increase should be through group harmony & co-operation-achieve maximum output and develop employees;
- Administrative Principles: Henry Fayol classified Managerial functions as -planning; organizing; commanding; co-ordinating and controlling.
- Bureaucratic Organization: Max Weber, a German Engineer, characterized Management in his model: as division of labour; hierarchy of authority; a system of rules (duties & rights); a system of procedure for work situations;and impersonal relations between people.
- THE BEHAVIOURAL APPROACH. The traditionalists emphasized on physical/technical aspects of managing and little attention was paid to human factors. The human relations approach seeks to examine and analyze the impact of human factors towards more effective management. Main contributors were Hugo Munsteberg; Walter Dill Scott; Max Weber; Vilfredo Pareto; Elton Mayo and F.J. Roethlisberger.
Elton Mayo conducted the Hawthorne Experiments to examine whether physical facilities, like raw materials, machinery, technology were responsible for human efficiency. Contributions of the Hawthorne Experiments were:
a. An organization is a social system with a culture of its own;
b. Informal groups have serious impact on workers’ productivity;
c. Friendly supervision brings favourable influence on human efficiency;
d. Free flow of communication is required for good human relations; - THE QUANTITATIVE APPROACH. The Quantitative Approach involves mathematics and statistics to improve managerial decision making. This is a contemporary, more recent, approach.

The Future of Management Due to AI The evolution of management as a result of artificial intelligence (AI) is a multifaceted and accelerating process that is already starting to reshape management practices and organizational structures. Here are key ways in which AI is expected to influence the future of management:
- DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING: AI technologies enable managers to access vast amounts of data and derive actionable insights from it. AI-powered analytics tools can analyze complex datasets faster and more accurately than humans, providing managers with valuable information to make informed decisions and optimize organizational performance.
- DEPLOY PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS: AI algorithms can forecast future trends, identify patterns, and predict outcomes with greater accuracy than traditional methods. Managers can leverage predictive analytics to anticipate market changes, identify potential risks, and proactively adjust strategies to mitigate challenges or capitalize on opportunities.
- AUTOMATION OF ROUTINE TASKS: AI-driven automation is streamlining repetitive and routine tasks across various functions, freeing up managers and employees to focus on more strategic and value-added activities. This can lead to increased productivity, efficiency, and innovation within organizations.
- LEARNING AND COACHING: AI-powered platforms can provide personalized feedback and development plans for managers based on their individual strengths, weaknesses, and performance metrics. These tools can help managers enhance their leadership skills, improve decision-making, and adapt to evolving management practices.
- ENHANCED RECRUITMENT AND TALENT MANAGEMENT: AI algorithms can analyze resumes, assess candidates' skills and qualifications, and even predict job fit and performance. AI-powered recruitment tools help managers identify top talent more efficiently, reduce bias in hiring processes, and build diverse and high-performing teams.
- DYNAMIC ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN: AI technologies enable organizations to adapt and evolve their structures and processes more rapidly in response to changing market conditions and strategic objectives. AI-driven simulations and modeling tools can evaluate different organizational designs, predict their impact, and optimize structures for agility, innovation, and resilience.
- AUGMENTED DECISION MAKING: AI systems can augment human decision-making by providing real-time insights, recommendations, and scenario analyses. Managers can use AI-powered decision support systems to evaluate alternative courses of action, assess risks, and optimize outcomes based on data-driven insights.
- ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE AI GOVERNANCE: As AI becomes more pervasive, there is a growing need for ethical guidelines and governance frameworks to ensure responsible and equitable use of AI technologies. Managers play a critical role in establishing these policies, protocols, and oversight mechanisms to uphold ethical standards and mitigate potential risks associated with AI deployment.
Overall, the integration of AI into management practices holds the potential to transform how organizations operate, innovate, and compete in the digital age. By leveraging AI technologies effectively, managers can enhance their decision-making capabilities, drive organizational performance, and unlock new opportunities for growth and success.
