| Abstract: | It is argued that in classifying Fayol (hereafter as: F.) as a founding father of the Classical Management School, there is to some extent a misrepresentation of this still important management theorist. This study re-examines F.'s personal and career history, as well as the arguments presented in his original work, General and Industrial Management. It is found among others that F. was a much more complex and multidimensional figure than his conventional stereotype today, and that F.'s management theories embraced a wider spectrum of approaches and concepts than traditionally identified with the classical management school of thought. |
