A brief history
A brief history
Every country undergoes industrialisation. It occurred in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century. British people who immigrated to Australia then brought their knowledge with them. This sparked a similar industrial revolution in Australia.
Why is this relevant to modern management?
The industrial revolution allowed companies to grow far larger than ever before. Management no longer involved overseeing a few dozen employees directly. Massive corporations with hundreds or thousands of employees sprouted up from this era. It’s a key turning point in the history of management that led to many of the theories that we use today.
The industrial revolution led to the creation of several different concepts of management. Many came about in the years that followed. Though these concepts evolve, they’re still relevant in the modern age.
