Etapas del proceso administrativo

Abstract

Administration as a science involves in its theoretical and practical application a systematized scheme that breaks with improvisations that promote thought in research.The administrative process is a model developed by Henry Fayol, which has been identified as the fundamental basis of administrative practice giving it a broader capacityfor abstraction and the possibility of generating theoretical concepts increasingly specific to the needs of the companies, being also a model with which the administrator function is standardized.The administrative process is defined as the achievement of phases or stages through which the administrative practice is carried out. Therefore, at present, the quadripartite division is the most universally accepted: planning, organization, direction and control.Considering the importance of these stages and / or phases, it can be said that the administrative process becomes the principle of any administrative activity, whose main objective is the systematization of knowledge generating a structure of efficiency, as well as fostering the development of a philosophy and managerial culture (Varela & León 2010).The stages and / or phases of the administrative process propose methods developed based on the experience of large companieswhere:Planning points out the need to set objectives, it is considered the most important stage that implies a rational decision making.The organization seeks to meet the objectives established in the planning.The management focuses its attention on how to delegate authority and coordinate activities.The control establishes the criteria that must be applied in the measurement and evaluation of results.
