13.1 INTRODUCTION
The classical design has been in existence since the earliest management days and has been
supported by such stalwarts as
Henri Fayol, Fredrick Taylor
and
Lyndall Urwick
. The classical
design is highly structured in a hierarchial system of superior and subordinates in the form of a
pyramid. It is a system of complex mechanisms, rules, regulations, and procedures that are highly
disciplinary in nature and the responsibilities of personnel are exploined by their positions in the
hierarchy. Moreover, the departmentation is the process of grouping various activities into separate
units of departments. A department is a distinct section of the business establishment concerned
with a particular group of business activities of like nature.
