Our office called you to reach a disconnected number, so they sent an e-mail but a response was not received before this paper was written. We have used other credible
sources.] In the early 1910s, Henri Fayol, who is referred to as the Father of Modern Management" offered the five functions of managers and the fourteen principles of management

of Management, 2006). Fayol said these functions were universal; all managers performed these functions or tasks regardless of industry (Encyclopedia of Management, 2006). Planning is ongoing and relates to the
