Discussion
Who among the following persons is considered as father of modern management ?
Answer: A
The father of modern management, in the paper's sense, is Henry Fayol.
Henri Fayol, a French mining engineer, published Administration industrielle et generale in 1916. He set out the functions of management (planning, organising, commanding, coordinating and controlling) and fourteen principles of management that apply to any organisation, which is why he is called the father of modern management or of administrative management theory.
F.W. Taylor is the father of scientific management, the trap in this question; his work was on efficiency at shop-floor level. Henry Gantt devised the Gantt chart, and Frederick Herzberg the two-factor theory of motivation.
