Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management
1.Replacing rules of thumb with science (organized knowledge)
2.Obtaining harmony in group action, rather than discord
3.Achieving cooperation of human beings, rather than chaotic individualism
4.Working for maximum output, rather than restricted output
5.Developing all workers to the fullest extent possible for their own and their company's highest prosperity

Fayol, the Father of Modern Operational Management Theory‑
• Authority and responsibility. authority is a combination of official factors and personal ‑factors
• Unity of Command. Employees should receive orders from one superior only
• Scalar Chain. A "chain of superiors" from the highest to the lowest ranks should be short circuited when to follow it scrupulously ‑would be detrimental
• Esprit de Corps. This is the principle that "in union there is strength"

Elton Mayo and F. Roethlisberger and the Hawthorne Studies.
• In general, that the improvement in productivity was due to such social factors as morale, satisfactory interrelationships between members of a work group (a "sense of belonging"), and effective management--a kind of managing that would understand human behavior, especially group behavior, and serve it through such interpersonal skills as motivating, counseling, leading, and communicating
