    organization through objectives defining. Management and employees both agree to this

    the organization. There are three major divisions in this theory. They are given below,

    Management Principles Organizations

    1. Scientific Management: F.W Taylor was the engineer of scientific model of CMT.
    According to this model, each task must be designed, workers must be selected and
    trained scientifically. It demands the division of labor and cooperation between the
    management and employees.
    2. Administrative Principles: This theory came from the investigation made by Henry Fayol,
    who was a mining engineer in a company in France. There are five major functions of
    this theory according to his model; Planning, coordinating, organizing, controlling and
    commanding. Also, 14 principles are developed through this theory.
    3. Bureaucratic Organizations: The maximum of this concept was introduced by Max
    Weber. This implies a firm characterized by elaboration, rules, impersonal relations,
    procedures and fairly rigid hierarchy that is of relationships came from authority
    responsibilities. But the thing is bureaucracy is a paper mill. All are written on the paper
    and data moves through unlimited channels resulting uncertain and unwanted delays.
    Also the communication is reduced.

    This theory seeks for explaining the human behavior through the analyses of the antecedent and
    consequence that are present in an individual environment. Various theories and constructs are
    able to be applied to different stages of this theory model. Some elements enriched the
    behavioral model that is to be described,
