Its practice is known to have gone back to a few hundred years ago - when the first Egyptian pyramid was built. However, it was not until the Great Industrial Revolution took place when societies realized its importance. From then on, different theories such as Taylor’s scientific management, Gilbreth’s time and motion studies, Fayol’s general administrative theory, and other organizational behaviors theories began to emerge (Robbins et. ...
