Purpose:
Fordism is a founding capitalistic approach to organizational communication management. From this framework, the classical theories of management (scientific management, bureaucratic theory, human relations theory, and human resource management) are all key to managing and maintaining Fordism at the organizational level; each of these theories reflects different efforts to construct and manage the Fordist worker.
Directions:
In this assignment, you will examine aspects of the foundational organizational management theories by addressing the classic Fordist model and describing the following four theories:
Taylor’s scientific management
Weber’s bureaucratic theory
Human relations theory
Human resource management
