Hello Friends,
i wud like to share a piece of information on Key thinkers in the field of Organizational Behaviour.
Drucker, Peter
When Peter Drucker wrote 'The Concept of the Corporation' in 1945, he could find only two firms that offered management training to their staff, and only three academic courses that covered the subject. Since then, of course, the management business has boomed, and Drucker has gone on to become, in the words of the Economist, "the greatest thinker management theory has produced." Opinion has long been divided about Drucker. Now in his nineties, he still commands more respect than affection in some quarters and even that respect is tempered by a sense that his work lacks academic credibility. Interestingly, it is largely in the community of practising managers that Drucker's reputation has been built. Perhaps that is because he has always written from the standpoint that the world of work is essentially about human endeavor.
Fayol, Henri
Perhaps more than anybody, Henri Fayol(1841-1925), a mining engineer and manager by profession, defined the nature and working patterns of the twentieth-century organisation. In this book, 'General and Industrial Management', published in 1916, Fayol laid down 14 principles of management.Many practicing managers today probably identify similar elements as the core of their activities.
Herzberg, Frederick
In his book 'Motivation to work', Herzberg coined the terms 'hygiene factors' and 'motivational factors' as a basis for exploring what motivated people do to work well and happily.
Hofstede, Geert
Born in Netherlands in 1928, Hofstede is currently Emiritus professor of organizational antropology and international management at Maastricht University. He is best known for his work on four dimensions of cultural variability, commonly referred to as ' Hofstede's Dimensions'
Maslow, Abraham
One of the most widely known experts on human behavior an motivation. His psychological perspectives on management, such as the hierarchy of needs, are still studied today in business schools all over the world. Maslow's most influential business book, 'Eupsychian Management' is a stimulating but not always easy read that demonstrates clearly why he was an unparalleled thinker and innovator in applying human behavior to the workplace.
Taylor, Frederic W
The world's first efficiency expert and 'the father of Scientific Managemnt'. Taylor's work with the car making legend Henry Ford led directly to the mass production techniques that created 15 million Model T's between 1910 and 1927, and that set the pattern for industrial working practice worldwide.
Weber, Max
Weber(1864-1920) was a German university professor who was the first person to describe organisations as having the qualities of a machine, a metaphor that persisted throughout the twentieth century. Weber is sometimes described, unfairly, as the father of bureaucracy.
Hope itz useful to u all.
Thanx and regards
