Abstract
Search of better performance for the company led practitioners to theorize their findings or observations. The early theorists are interested exclusively in the company and the organization of production. Gradually, their scope of thinking was extended to all organizations.
The organization is defined as a social system organized to achieve some type of goal. It implies a formal goal, a division of tasks and assignment of roles, a communication system, a mechanism for decision-making, a set of evaluation activity rules.
Several major schools of thought are emerging, each focusing on a particular approach to the organization. Of the classical school to school-based management systems, each movement is developing in response to the one preceding it by incorporating greater or lesser extent. Thus, the various movements form a whole.
Search of better performance for the company led practitioners to theorize their findings or observations. The early theorists are interested exclusively in the company and the organization of production. Gradually, their scope of thinking was extended to all organizations.
