Show the answer
- Fayol → Four functions forming a cycle
- Mintzberg → Ten roles observed with a stopwatch
- Katz → Technical, human, and conceptual skills by level
- Drucker → Effectiveness before efficiency
Why
The cycle, the stopwatch, the skill ladder, and the priority rule, four classics that still structure every management syllabus.
