Abstract
The article discusses the evolution of management science through 1963. Classic management principles have been outlined as functions including planning which emphasizes that management is a rational process of problem solving, staffing which recognizes that management is a human process, and directing which emphasizes the importance of leadership in the management process. A major contribution to management theory has come from the human relations school. Another major component of management science is decision theory.Keywords
