Thank you Kay,Nice and Kirose for introducing the Industrial Revolution and how it has brought about classical organizational theory. Technology advancement such invention of machines to mass produce goods improved productivity and lowered cost, and in effect increased consumer demand, thereby a greater need for more factories and workers. Managers then found way to increase workers’ productivity and efficiency without really into ways on how to improved workers’ condition. I coined the word “workers” because I felt that was how employees were treated back then - like machines in factories. The application of classical organization theory per see seems inhumane, but this approach still does exist in our modern times — that can be seen in organizations with top management demanding employees’ increased productivity and higher efficiency without taking into consideration their career advancement, needs, work environment, etc. I think it finds its relevance in providing a clear hierarchical structure, a clearly defined division of labor and autocratic leadership approach among organizations.
