formal theory of authority
Max Weber proposed a three-part typology for authority, traditional, rational-legal and charismatic. Traditional authority leads to feudalism. Rational-legal authority leads to bureaucracy. Charismatic authority leads to a personal structure between a leader and his followers.
The traditional view of managers is that they have virtually unlimited control over the organization and its purpose, functions and operations and therefore that they alone are responsible for all its successes and failures. This can be called the omnipotent view of management. There is a second, and growing, point of view that suggests that much of the successes and failures of organizations is determined by external factors that cannot be controlled by managers. This is the symbolic view of management. Most likely a combination of both points of view provides the best explanation of management power and control.

Project Management is more or less of a standardized process for handling projects from inception to completion. Typically, a project manager works under a functional manager (I believe this is what you mean by traditional management). A functional manager usually has the resources and has more authority than the project manager. In small companies, a functional manager can also be a project manager.
Point of View Authority
The Chinese view that royal authority came from the gods is known as the "Mandate of Heaven." This concept suggests that the ruler's right to govern is granted by divine approval, and can be revoked if the ruler fails to govern justly and effectively.
Traditional authority is based on longstanding custom and beliefs, with power passed down through generations. Rational-legal authority, on the other hand, is based on established laws and rules, with power derived from one's position in a hierarchical structure. Traditional authority is often seen in traditional societies, while rational-legal authority is characteristic of modern bureaucratic systems.

It is the most common basis for authority. Traditional authority is based on custom. Traditional authority is mostly found in trible groups. In these societies, customs dictate basic relationships. An example: birth into a particular family in a tribe can make the individual a cheif, king or queen. Another example is a parents authority over their child. This is considered traditional authority because parents have always had authority over their children. Exampls of this are, ways of diciplining children, choosing their doctors and schools, and teaching morality and religion.
