C/M/378. Organisational theories are one of the main areas that relate directly to the internal organisation of a business. Critically discuss the three main theories and highlight the role of management under each approach.

For the purpose of this assignment three theories are chosen in terms of the impact that they have had on the shaping of the interim understanding of organisations providing a basis of critique that has subsequently proliferated into other theories. These are the Weberian bureaucratic theory juxtaposed with the Administrative Management Theory by Henri Fayol, Scientific management theory of Frederick Taylor and the Contingency theory that is used to conclude the paper.
