Development of management theory

Assignment Help Management Theories

Reference no: EM13718848

Students are required to provide a class presentation of a biography of a leading management theorist and the context in which that person's theory was first developed. Additionally, students will be required to compare and contrast this theorist from two other management theorists (either historical or contemporary). This means a total of three management theorists will be examined for the case study. Students are encouraged to discuss their choice of theorists with the Lecturer-in-Charge. The approval of the Lecturer-in-Charge regarding the theorists chosen for this study must be obtained before the study is undertaken. Students are expected to provide a detailed class presentation of approximately 15¬20 minutes followed by a ten minutes question and answer session.

Project Requirements

• Present short biographical information about a noted Management Theorist that you have studied in class.

• Present details about that person's Management Theory

• What were the influences that may have contributed to the development of that Management Theory?

• Compare and contrast that theory with two other Management Theories

• Are any of the three theories you are researching useful in organisations today?

• Explain with reference to at least two organisational examples.
