Excerpt from An Introduction to the Principles of Industrial Administration An elementary general knowledge of the underlying principles of administration is useful to all persons engaged in industrial employment. More particularly is such information essential to those who are undergoing some form of training designed with the object of fitting them ultimately to occupy positions of responsibility in industry. Equally important is a knowledge of the fundamentals of industrial organization to those who, while not actually engaged in industry, are nevertheless affected by the manner in which it is conducted. An attempt is made in the following pages to present in simple form that general survey of industry which such students require, and which is an introduction to the study of more specific aspects of the problem. The volume is therefore addressed to students of industrial technology, both in universities or technical colleges, and in industry; to students of economics and sociology; to teachers in evening schools, continuation schools, and works schools who desire to know something of the conditions under which their students in industry are employed; to supervisory members of industry, such as foremen and inspectors; and to working men and women who wish to study either privately or through the medium of study circles, the general organization of modem industry.

In this seminal work, Henri Fayol, a French mining engineer and management theorist, lays out the fundamental principles of modern management. First published in 1916, “General and Industrial Management” remains relevant today as a foundational text in the field of organizational management. Fayol’s insights revolutionized the way businesses operate, emphasizing the importance of administrative functions, coordination, and effective leadership. His five key management functions—planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling—have become cornerstones of management theory. Through practical examples and case studies, Fayol explores topics such as organizational structure, division of labor, authority, and the role of managers. He advocates for a holistic approach to management that considers both technical and human aspects within an organization. Whether you’re a seasoned manager or a student of business, “General and Industrial Management” provides timeless wisdom and actionable strategies for achieving efficiency, productivity, and success in any organizational setting.

Black & white print. Principles of Management is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the introductory course on management. This is a traditional approach to management using the leading, planning, organizing, and controlling approach. Management is a broad business discipline, and the Principles of Management course covers many management areas such as human resource management and strategic management, as well as behavioral areas such as motivation. No one individual can be an expert in all areas of management, so an additional benefit of this text is that specialists in a variety of areas have authored individual chapters.
