Chapter Chapter 10 in Chester I. Barnard: Innovator of Organization Theory, 2023, pp 139-156 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter and the previous one offer an overview of The Functions of the Executive. The previous chapter focuses on Barnard’s organization theory, this chapter on his management theory. Barnard built a strict conceptual scheme for the theory of organization and management; he proposed two major concepts: structural and dynamic. Structural concepts are composed of individuals, cooperate systems, formal organizations, complex formal organizations, and informal organizations. In contrast, dynamic concepts consist of free will, cooperation, communication, authority, decisive processes, dynamic equilibrium, and (executive) responsibility. While the previous chapter deals with structural chapters, this chapter examines Barnard’s dynamic concepts. It clarifies how Barnard systematically built his management theory on the basis of his organization theory.
