Total management is a term which can be used to describe the philosophy of combining all aspects of management, rather than concentrating on specific areas.
The classic example would be Drucker, who introduced Management by Objectives (MbO) and Self Control – an all-accommodating fully integrated faculty for the activities of management.
Others who fall into this category include Barnard, Donham, Fayol, Handy, Malik, Mintzberg, Pascale, Peters, Pugh, Rathenau, Senge, Urwick and Wertheimer.
