Our assumptions are frequently implicit, sometimes quite unconscious, often conflicting; nevertheless, they determine our predictions that if we do a, b will occur. They and practice are inseparable.” This is the essence of management theory. Management theories guide the management behaviour, lead management actions to a scientific way, to make the work more efficient. This essay will focus on the classical management theories and human relation management theories, give the explanation to each theory.

This theory was much more focus on the whole process of management, which means not emphasise the output but how could the managers do their job well. This is more reasonable and human than scientific management theory, but, there is still some weakness existed. It is overemphasise the groups, so it will lack of flexibility.
