CLASSIC AND MODERN MANAGEMENT METHODS IN THE COMPANY

Abstract

Every organized structure, whether it is a natural or social order, has a process of direction,

i.e. management and leadership.

These processes are conditioned by the quantity and quality of knowledge and skills that man had in each socio-economic community. It turns out that in each new period of time man had a more efficient organization and process of direction, that is, management. In the original primitive societies and orga- nizations there was leadership, as the first form of directing the group towards specific goals, which was an imitation from the animal world. Over time, leadership transformed into leadership, and leadership into entrepreneurship, that is, management with different methods. The result of every leadership is the successful achievement of a previously defined goal, i.e. the achievement of success.

In this part of the paper, management and business success in the company are defined. The relationship between management and leadership, the holders of the leadership function, as well as the variety of leadership methods are explained. In the second part of the paper, management methods are analyzed in detail. This part is divided into two segments, one of which is dedicated to the analysis of classic management methods, and the other to the analysis of modern management methods. Within the seg- ment on classic management methods, authority-based management, task-oriented management and people-oriented management, understanding-based management and structure-initiating management and managerial network were discussed.
