Henri Fayol (1841β1925) was a French mining engineer and management theorist, often regarded as one of the founders of modern management. He developed a general theory of business administration known as "Fayolism," which focused on the role of management in organizations. This theory was developed independently of Frederick Winslow Taylor's "scientific management."
Fayol's most significant contributions include his five primary functions of management: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. He also formulated 14 principles of management, which he believed were essential for effective administration. These principles cover various aspects, such as division of work, authority and responsibility, unity of command, and team spirit. Fayol's seminal work, "Administration Industrielle et GΓ©nΓ©rale" (General and Industrial Management), published in 1916, laid the foundation for modern management curricula worldwide.
Constance Storrs was a British scholar best known for her significant contribution to the field of management theory through her translation of Henri Fayol's seminal work. In 1949, she published the English translation of Fayol's 1916 book, Administration Industrielle et GΓ©nΓ©rale, under the title General and Industrial Management. Prior to Storrs's translation, Fayolβs ideas were largely unknown outside of France. Her work was instrumental in introducing Fayol's five functions and fourteen principles of management to the English-speaking world, establishing his reputation as a key figure in modern administrative theory.
