The Evolution Of The Manager's Job

Abstract: This 10 page paper describes how the manager's job and the concept of management has evolved from 1900 to the present time. The traditional corporate hierarchy and organizational management chart was developed in the railroad industry but it was Frederick Taylor who is credited with promoting the first theories of management and the responsibilities of the manager. Follett offered a different perspective during that same era but her words fell on deaf ears. The writer discusses the search for new management models after the war and the emergence of a focus on human needs. Today's manager is far different than the manager prior to the 1950s. These differences are explained. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
