Classical management theory has profoundly shaped managerial thinking, leading to a natural inclination for managers to design organizations with rigid structures that emphasize clear communication and control. This entrenched mindset reflects a mechanistic view of management, where processes are prioritized over adaptability and innovation.
As a result, this automatic adherence to traditional management practices poses significant challenges for organizations seeking to adapt and evolve. The reluctance to move away from established routines hinders organizational change, making it difficult to respond effectively to dynamic environments.
