Applying Theories to Practices
Management theory and practice traces back to the philosophies of Aristotle, who first spoke about topics such as departmentalization and centralization. However, it was during the Industrial Revolution, at the turn of the 20th century, that the concept of management was thrust into the limelight (Jenks, 1960). Managers of factories, mills, and mines sought new ways to increase productivity and efficiency among employees to ensure a healthy bottom line. As industries evolved and expanded, new leadership and management theories and practices emerged to address other pressing issues, such as organizational structure and employee motivation. Many theories developed early on continue to inform modern-day management practices in both public and nonprofit organizations.
