Part I: SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Part II: REFLECTIONS Part III: APPLICATION

Management means different things to different people in different circumstances and at different times. For practicing managers – rather than academics and linguists – it is also a seriously misleading question, as it assumes that there is one right definition of management and consequently one right way of being an effective and competent manager. Although many of the principles have been adopted as good practice for many years by managers in all kinds of organization, it is less certain whether they are still relevant today given the complexity of the modern manager’s role and the high-paced environment in which most managers now operate.

No doubt management is very important thing in any organization. Management is an art of getting things done with the help of other people. There is jungle of management theories which are categorized as Classical, Behavioral and Situational Management Theories. Three well known Classical Management Theories (Scientific, Administrative and Bureaucratic) were reviewed in this article. Knowledge of management theories (along other factors) is basic requirement for managers of any organization to meet the challenges of the organization..

Management is the most important part of any organization.

No any organization can achieve its objectives without proper management. So management is considered the hub of any organization.

Knowledge of Management theories is essential for successful management and leadership.

Organizations have to face many challenges in modern era. The same is the position in schools and collages as they are also organizations.

To meet the challenges like competition, efficient and economical uses of sources and maximum output, knowledge of management and theories of management is one basic requirement.

Among Management Theories, Classical Management Theories are very important as they provide the basis for all other theories of management.

The real challenge for managers is to develop an understanding of the different ways in which management is defined, perceived and practiced and to be able to draw on those different – and even contradictory – ideas to help them adjust and practice on how to be effective in different contexts and situations.

In order to achieve every organization’s objectives managers need to know and be aware as to whether:- Are their principles timeless or are

they now outmoded? - How do they fit with their

experience or their knowledge of being a manager?

It is needed to develop the “science of work”. It means to study the job in practice now and to find the ways to do it. To collect information of each ways in shape of time and motion.
