THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN PLAGARISED FROM http://www.analytictech.com/mb021/fayol.htm PLEASE GIVE CREDIT EmileVictor 08:32, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Although the information on the above site is the same as that show in wikipedia, the said information is regarded as common knowledge conserning Fayol, it is infact published in his book. Therefore this is not plagarism. (C. White 26/3/07)
Well, it wasn't worth translating this very dense piece of writing if 75% of it was to be considered POV and removed. ;-) --Valmi 18:57, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- So it goes. When I skimmed the French it looked pretty appropriate, but I hadn't read it closely. Upon reading your translation, I found that it was mostly unencyclopedic.
- If it's any consolation, I once spent about 8 hours translating a lengthy article from Romanian, only to discover it was a copyvio. -- Jmabel 20:40, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

- I am sure you significantly improved your Romanian skills! --Valmi 01:45, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
It is a shame that there is no Henri Fayol's article in the French version.
[edit] Princples are not representative of what Fayol wrote
If you read the original text you will see that the principles Fayol recommended were indeed principles and not rules written in stone. It is clearly not the intension of Fayol to declare e.g. that, as here quoted, that decisions are made from the top and that is it. Fayol explains in great detail that any organisation must have some measure of centralization in order to operate effectivly. Indeed decentralization is also a consequence of Fayol's principles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.63.55.120 (talk) 15:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC).its me the foyal it all management
[edit] Socrates
It is patently not the case that Socrates, who lived 2000 years before management or corporations, "suggested that management is a universal human activity that applies equally well to the family as it does to the corporation." I have deleted the reference. Deipnosophista 15:35, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I beg to differ, he may not have written it specifically but if you read the somewhat disorganized eight books of Politics, it is a notion that becomes apparent. I believe he wrote specifically about a shoe making operation in Greece, but of that I am not certain.
