    Administrative management theory focuses on designing the overall organization structure with a formal hierarchy, clear division of labor, and delegation of responsibilities. It was developed by Henri Fayol in the early 20th century and emphasizes concepts like unity of command, scalar chain, and centralization. Contemporary large companies still follow these principles, as seen in the organizational structure of Bangladeshi conglomerate Bashundhara Group.

    What is Administrative Management theory?
    • Administrative management theory attempts to find a rational way to design an
    organization as a whole. This theory focuses on the organization as a whole and aims
    to identify the most efficient and effective ways to organize and manage activities
    within an organization. The theory generally calls for a formalized administrative
    structure, a clear division of labor, and delegation of power and authority to
    administrators relevant to their areas of responsibilities.
    Origin and History

    • Henri Fayol, a French mining engineer and management theorist,


    published his influential work "Administration Industrielle et Générale"
    ("General and Industrial Management") in 1916. Fayol outlined 14
    principles of management, emphasizing concepts like unity of command,
    scalar chain, division of labor, and centralization. These principles formed
    the basis of Administrative Management Theory.

    Conclusion
    • In the face of technological advancements, globalization, and shifts in organizational structures,
    Administrative Management Theory offers valuable insights into the importance of clear communication,
    strategic decision-making, and the cultivation of a positive workplace culture. The emphasis on employee
    initiative, team spirit, and fairness align with modern perspectives on employee engagement and
    satisfaction.
    • While recognizing that no single theory can comprehensively address all aspects of modern management,
    Administrative Management Theory provides a solid starting point. As organizations grapple with the
    challenges of the 21st century, they can draw upon the enduring principles of administrative management to
    guide their efforts in achieving operational excellence, adaptability, and sustainable success.
    • In essence, Administrative Management Theory is not a relic of the past but a foundational guide that
    continues to shape contemporary management practices. Its principles, rooted in the realities of the
    industrial era, have proven adaptable and resilient, making them an invaluable resource for current and
    future generations of managers seeking to navigate the complexities of organizational management.
