Abstract

In this chapter, the analysis interprets the thought of Barnard on the management process. The author’s approach is systemic: he uses the concept of system as the basis of development for his management theory. Apart from some differences in terminology, the management functions adopted by Barnard are very similar in substance to those recurrent in the modern theory of management; on this issue, the author seems a precursor of subsequent theoretical developments. What is really original in his theoretical construction is the relationship between the set of management functions (management process) and the function of leadership.
