Organization and Management Past to Present

Abstract

This article examined the historical evolution of organization and management theories and their applicability to practice in modern enterprise. Management and organizational theories each add something to the awareness of what managers ought to do. The contemporary approaches of management and organization theory draw upon the historical ideals of classical management and organization theories. Managers must, therefore, value the true concepts of contemporary organizational and management theories that frame the construct and decision-making processes of their particular organizations. Without a doubt, managers who make considerable efforts to transform these theories (classical and contemporary) into reality and practicality could increase productivity more than those who choose to ignore the value of these theories.
