“…Carlioz's duties encompassed a wide range of activities from purchasing, to selecting sales agents, maintaining customer relations, and contacts with industry trade associations. When Carlioz retired in 1918, the same year as Fayol, he became a professor of administration at the E Â cole des Haute E Â tudes Commerciales in Paris, publishing books on the commercial function and furthering Fayol's ideas (Breeze, 1982).

Henri Fayol as strategist: a nineteenth century corporate turnaround

Successful corporate turnarounds occur, thus avoiding liquidation, but historical examples are few. In late nineteenth century France Henri Fayol became managing director (CEO) of a vertically integrated iron and steel firm and made various decisions that retrieved the firm from the brink of liquidation. In examining his career, the competitive nature of the industry, and his decisions, it is suggested that he employed a deliberate and comprehensive corporate strategy to guide the firm toward its objectives. While he developed his theory of management from these experiences and claimed that its application was the primary cause of the turnaround, this paper suggests that there were several other factors at work. I am indebted to John D. Breeze and two anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments and to Donald Reid and Tsuneo Sasaki for their contributions to the study of Henri Fayol's life and work.

“…Following a brief summary of ideas from AIG, the author concludes "…if the gentlemen I spoke of were to bring me the keys to our constitutional reform on a velvet cushion, and if I can build the indispensable School of administration, I won't fail to endow the Henri Fayol Chair whose namesake will inspire the principles I just noted: planning, organisation, command, coordination and control" [38, p. 286]. Administration et Organisation Commerciale [75,76] by J. Carlioz (Dunod, 1918) Le Gouvernement des Entreprises Commerciales et industrielles by J.

Henri Fayol is undoubtedly best known in the English‐speaking world for his book Administration Industrielle et Générale. His subsequent activities in promoting the development of management studies and education as a a means of improving both industry and public service performance are less well known. One of his more significant initiatives in this area was to establish the Centre for Administrative Studies (CAS) in 1917. Relates the founding of the CAS to Fayol′s activities at the time, identifies its goals and activities, summarizes some of his contributions to the development of what ultimately became the formalization of management studies in both Europe and North America and notes the Centre′s demise almost concurrently with Fayol′s death. Reveals Fayol′s own reasons for delaying the publication of parts 3 and 4 of Administration Industrielle et Générale.

Purpose -Fayol's theories were the original foundation for management as a discipline and as a profession. Also Fayol was the first to advocate management education. Yet he has critics who revile him (or at least disparage his work) as well as followers who respect and revere him. This paper intends to enlighten today's practitioners and academicians about the relevance and value of Fayol's theories today. Design/methodology/approach -The paper addresses Fayol's contributions as well as the disparagement and the reverence. It compares Fayol's work with that of Follett, Mintzberg, Taylor, and Porter. In addition, it demonstrates the original and current interpretation and application of his theories. Finally, it indicates the alignment of Fayol's theories with strategic leadership and management. Findings -Fayol's theories are valuable and relevant for organizational leaders because Fayol was a practitioner who documented theories that worked best for him and his co-workers. While there are those who criticize Fayol's theories, there are many others who respect them and find them useful as academicians and as practitioners. The theory of management functions aligns well with strategic leadership and management models and theories. Originality/value -The paper is the first to integrate Fayol's theories with a strategic leadership model.
