The Evolution of Management Theories: from Taylorism to
Agile Leadership
Abstract
The article presents the current state of management theory, which is shaped by the evolutionary development of successive principles, methods, and techniques. Empirical research has led the author to conclude that management theory is developing in several directions. The first is based on the enduring principles of Taylorism, which reinforce bureaucratization and administrative authority. The second is built on institutional integrated principles that ensure a balance of interests between labour, capital, society, and the environment. The third focuses on flexible principles of virtual management, fostering leadership, teamwork, and internal motivation.
Keywords: management, Taylorism, socio-economic systems, interdisciplinary approach, self-organization, leadership
