Some early management theorists include Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol, and Max Weber. Taylor is known for scientific management, Fayol for his principles of management, and Weber for his bureaucracy theory.
The official definition for the term scientific management is "management of a business, industry, or economy, according to principles of efficiency derived from experiments in methods of work and production, esp. from time-and-motion studies."
Classical school of public administration includes scientific management and bureaucratic theory. Fayol (and Taylor) is representative of scientific management and top down approach. Weber is presenting bureaucratic theory - with his ideal types.
While considering scientific principles, we will get accurate results. management deals with human behavior which cannot be predicted with absolute accuracy.so management is not given the status of full fleged science. so we can say that it is a soft science.
there must be a clear and unbroken line of command or management structure.
