Evolution of Management
The first known management ideas were recorded in 3000-4000 B.C. One Pyramid built
by Egyptian ruler Cheops required work to be done by 100,000 men for over twenty years in
2900 B.C. Such monumental work could not be completed without adherence to principles of
sound management. There are many different names for the many different styles of the way
management has and will be done. For time sake, the four commonly known approaches of the
classic, behavioral, systems and contingency will be discussed herein. They are unique from each
other and yet share similar qualities. Of the presented types, the behavioral approach is the best
style to use.

the job done. The individual worker was just part to do the job assigned and getting it done
within whatever means was necessary. The individual was part of the large scale manufacturing.
