‘‘Management is the art of knowing what you want to do and then seeing that it is done in the best and cheapest way ?’’
F.W. Taylor
This classic definition of management is given by F.W. Taylor, the father of Scientific Management, in his work on shop management.
Taylor stressed that the manager must first know exactly what work is to be done and then ensure, through scientific methods, standardisation and supervision, that it is done in the best and cheapest way.
Drucker described management as a multipurpose organ that manages a business, managers and workers; Fayol defined it through the functions of forecasting, planning, organising, commanding, coordinating and controlling; Koontz defined it as getting things done through and with people in formally organised groups.
Hence, the answer is F.W. Taylor.
