Abstract
The author analyses Fayola’s work in the light of recent achievements of the theory of administration. He looks into Fayola’s organic approach and the immanent division of the content of his work into the constitutive and the functional aspects. Fayol’s concepts are built into the foundations of the science of administration since they are used as the criteria for the classification of the subjectmatter and for defining management. Also, his concepts are so well-defined that only an occasional new concept is added to them. The shortcomings of Fayol’s thinking are the product of the limitations of his time and his internal organic approach as well as of the basically static structure of organization and administration.
