Classical Management versus Strategic Management
Classical management has been around since the beginning of time. It is the command and control system that characterizes the military. The hierarchy of command is rigid and unforgiving. Disobedience is punished. Consumer choice is dictated or almost non-existent. True competition does not exist.
Strategic management first emerged as a discipline in the western world with the publication of Peter Drucker's The Practice of Management, in 1954. The evolution of the industrial revolution into the mass production age after World War 2 saw markets develop for all nature of goods and services. Now there were competitors offering choices and this made for choices of employment. Classical management cannot work when there are choices.
Strategic management is about searching for practices that will result in sustainability and relevance in an uncertain world where neither the employees nor markets can be controlled. Classical management doesn't function well under those conditions.
