[#279] Which one of the following theory of organisation can be regarded as first coherent theory of organisation?
Correct Answer
(D) Classical theory
Explanation
Solution: Classical theory is regarded as the first coherent theory of organization. It emphasizes a structured and formalized approach to managing organizations, focusing on clear roles, responsibilities, and hierarchies. It also provides principles like division of work, authority, discipline, and unity of command. Human Relation theory came later, emphasizing the social and psychological needs of employees rather than formal organizational structure. Scientific Management , developed by Frederick Taylor, focuses on improving efficiency and productivity through scientific methods but does not provide a holistic theory of organization. System Approach theory is a more modern approach, viewing the organization as an interconnected system interacting with its environment. Thus, the Classical theory is recognized as the first coherent and comprehensive theory of organization.
