Scientific Management
Definition
The definition of scientific management is the
use of scientific methods to explain the ''best''
and most efficient way to complete a
task(Reeder, 2022).I think scientific
management is developing and applying
science in work to improve the work’s
productivity, ensure highest possible profit, high
management quality ,and secure cooperations
and coordination between managers and

employees in the greatest and cheapest
possible way.
John was the general manager of a company
that produced garments.At first, he had very
little cooperation with the workers and they
were not paid enough .These two factors led to
the downfall in productivity,frustrations and loss
of motivation of workers.Therefore,he applied
Frederick Taylor’s scientific management theory
in his workplace.He motivated his workers by
declaring that they would get their daily wages
plus additional 10% bonus if they finished a
certain amount of work in the given time.He
also wanted each of his workers to be
responsible of the job so he ensured every
worker had a crucial task to accomplish based
on each worker’s capability.Additionally, he
provided sufficient training and supervision to
his employees and monitored their work
performance for his company’s overall
achievement.These applications of Frederick
Taylor’s scientific management theory led to a
surge in the company’s work productivity and
overall performance.
Definition
Max Weber’s type of bureaucracy is an
administration that upholds the rules and
regulations with strict adherence to protocol.
The guidelines are written, followed, and
enforced consistently from employee to
employee(Sridharan, 2023).It can also be
described as a management that contains
hierarchical structure, clearly defined policies
and procedures,well-structured organization,
and formalized decision-making.
Example
The greatest utilization of Max Weber’s
bureaucratic management is in the military. It
contains a formal hierarchical structure which
means that it includes different ranks(Supreme
commander, Generals, Brigadier, Colonels, etc)
and each rank controls the ones beneath it.The
superior decides duties and orders and
Fayol’s Administrative
Principles
Definition
Example
Step 3:
subordinates must follow them.Moreover, Drew
(2023) states that promotions within the military
are often based on a system of seniority and
tenure, rather than merit.Rules and regulations
within the military are also formalized and
stable.In our country,Myanmar, the military
uses this bureaucracy and the citizens have to
stay and struggle under this non-elected,
bureaucratic military government.
Fayol's administrative management theory can
be defined as an approach to management and
increasing productivity by emphasizing
organizational structure and human behavior
and it focuses on the relationship between
personnel and its management(Wilson, 2021).
Henri Fayol wrote that “Employees should
receive orders from one supervisor only.”
I personally think his administrative principles
are still applicable in current work
organizations.
An example of Fayol’s administrative principles
is in a pizza restaurant..The manager decides
and gives orders to chefs, waiters, cleaners
and cashiers who was to take responsibility for
which particular task.He also initiates to
increase the amount of customers and fame by
giving discounts.Division of labor is also applied
in this type of restaurant.One takes the orders,
one makes the pizza dough, one prepares the
ingredients and the oven and one makes the
drinks.If an employee makes a mistake or does
not follow the discipline, he or she must take
the responsibility making sure discipline is an
important part of the restaurant.Moreover, the
manager needs to treat the employees in
equity, and ensures there is unity and
cooperation between the employees.Basically,
the pizza restaurant I mentioned obeys Henri
Fayol’s administrative principles.
