Evidence based management: translating principles based on best evidence into organizational practice, bringing rationality to the decision making process-Two overarching perspectives about management:-Historical perspective: classical, behavioral, and quantitative-Contemporary perspective: systems, contingency, and quality-management II. Historical:1. Classical viewpoint: scientific management and administrative management A. Scientific management: emphasized the scientific study of work methods to improve the productivity of individual workers-Principles of scientific management:1. Scientifically study each part of the task2. Carefully select workers with the right abilities3. Give workers the training and incentives to do the task4. Use scientific principles to plan the work methods B. Administrative management: concerned with managing total organization-Henri Faygol was first to identify four functions of management (French engineer and industrialist) -Max Weber believed that a bureaucracy was rational, efficient, ideal organization based on the principles of logic -5 positive bureaucratic features:These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.1. A well-defined hierarchy of authority2. Formal rules and procedures3. A clear division of labor4. Impersonality5. Careers based on merit-Why is classical viewpoint important? Work activity was amenable to a rational approach. Through the application of scientific methods, time and motion studies, and job specialization it was possible to boost productivity. 2. Behavioral viewpoint: early behaviorists, human relations measurement, and behavioral science approach- The behavioral viewpoint developed over three phases:1. Early behaviorism2. The human relations movement3. Behavioral science1. Early behaviorism: pioneered by Munsterberg (father of industrial psych)a.

Behavioral science: relies on scientific research for developing theories about human behaviorthat can be used to provide practical tools for managers 3. Quantitative viewpoint: management science, operations management -Application to management of quantitative techniques, such as statistics and computer simulations 1. Management science: stresses the use of rational techniques and mathematics, decision-making, and strategic planning 2. Operations management: focuses on managing the production and delivery of an organization’s products or services more effectively-Work scheduling, production planning, facilities location and
