Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that compares Fayol’s 14 principles of management (pp. 216–221) to Weber’s Bureaucracy (pp. 228–233). Are Weber and Fayol essentially presenting the same set of ideas, or are their ideas entirely different? In what ways are their ideas similar and different?
List your references according to APA guidelines, including links to any websites or online articles your paper refers to.
Hints:
- Fayol lists “division of work†as one of his 14 principles of management (p. 217). Is this the same as Weber’s “division of labor†(p. 231)?
- Is Fayol’s “scalar chain†(p. 219) similar to Weber’s “managerial hierarchy†(p. 231)?
- Do any of Fayol’s principles (pp. 217–221) correspond to Weber’s “career orientation†(p. 231)?
