ABSTRACT

This paper reviews four typical and classical organization management theories, taylorism, contingency theory, behavioral management theory and systems theory and attempts to explore their theoretical and practical values on organizational management in the globalized era. By comparing and clarifying the contribution and drawbacks of these four theories, this paper connects the theories to the contemporary issues of global organization management and discovers that the four classic theories still have significant impacts in the globalization era. The theories have transformed to fit the changing business environment and have combined with the contemporary advanced management practices to promote the organizational development.
