Page 5: Objectives of the Project

Why Principles of Management?
To understand how Henri Fayol’s 14 principles provide a framework for effective
management applicable to all organizations.
Why McDonald’s?
McDonald’s is a global leader in fast food with a successful management system that
reflects these principles in practice.
What I Aim to Learn:
 How theoretical management principles are applied in a real multinational corporation.
The role of management in organizational success and employee motivation.
Relation to Real Business Scenarios:
This project shows how management principles help businesses maintain quality, efficiency,
and growth worldwide.

Pages 6-7: Introduction to Henri Fayol

Life & Background:
Henri Fayol (1841-1925) was a French mining engineer and management theorist. He is
considered one of the founders of modern management theory.
His Role in Management History:
Fayol introduced the idea that management is a universal process and can be taught. He
identified five key functions of management: planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating,
and controlling.
His Contribution: The 14 Principles of Management:
Fayol developed 14 principles that guide managers to improve organizational efficiency and
effectiveness. These principles are still widely taught and applied today.
Importance of These Principles Today:
In today’s complex business environment, Fayol’s principles help managers maintain order,
motivate employees, and achieve organizational goals efficiently.

Page 8: Introduction to McDonald’s

Brief History:
Founded in 1940 by Richard and Maurice McDonald, the company was later expanded globally
by Ray Kroc. Today, McDonald’s operates over 40,000 restaurants worldwide.
Why It’s a Good Example for This Project:
McDonald’s success is largely due to its strong management practices, standardized operations,
and clear organizational structure, making it an ideal case to study Fayol’s principles in action.
Global Presence & Business Structure:
McDonald’s operates through a mix of company-owned and franchised outlets, with a
hierarchical management structure that ensures consistent quality and service globally.

Page 9: Division of Work

Statement of the Principle:
Work should be divided among individuals and groups to ensure that effort is focused on
specialized tasks, increasing efficiency and productivity.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s divides work clearly among employees: cooks specialize in grilling, frying, or
assembling burgers; cashiers handle orders; managers oversee operations. Corporate
departments focus on marketing, supply chain, and finance. This specialization leads to faster
service and consistent product quality.
Conclusion:
By dividing work effectively, McDonald’s achieves operational efficiency, reduces errors, and
maintains high standards across all outlets.

Page 10: Authority and Responsibility

Statement of the Principle:
Authority gives managers the right to give orders, and responsibility requires them to ensure
those orders are carried out. Both must be balanced for effective management.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
In McDonald’s, managers have the authority to make decisions, such as adjusting staff
schedules or approving promotions, and are responsible for the restaurant’s performance.
Franchisees have authority over their outlets but must follow corporate policies.
Conclusion:
McDonald’s balances authority and responsibility well, ensuring managers are empowered but
accountable, which supports smooth operations.

Page 11: Discipline

Statement of the Principle:
Discipline means obedience, respect, and proper conduct within the organization, maintained
through clear rules and fair penalties.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s enforces discipline through standardized training programs like Hamburger
University. Employees follow strict hygiene and safety protocols. Violations can lead to warnings
or termination, ensuring consistent behavior.
Conclusion:
Strong discipline at McDonald’s helps maintain quality and customer trust worldwide.

Page 12: Unity of Command

Statement of the Principle:
Each employee should receive orders from only one superior to avoid confusion and conflict.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
Crew members report directly to their shift managers, who coordinate with restaurant managers.
This clear reporting line prevents conflicting instructions and ensures accountability.
Conclusion:
Unity of command at McDonald’s reduces confusion, enhances communication, and improves
employee performance.

Page 13: Unity of Direction

Statement of the Principle:
The organization should have one plan of action to guide managers and workers toward the
same objectives.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s global “Plan to Win” strategy aligns all departments and outlets toward improving
customer experience, menu innovation, and operational excellence.
Conclusion:
Unity of direction ensures that all McDonald’s employees work cohesively toward shared goals.

Page 14: Subordination of Individual Interest

Statement of the Principle:
The interests of the organization should take precedence over individual interests.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
Franchisees and employees prioritize McDonald’s brand standards and policies over personal
preferences, ensuring consistent customer experience globally.
Conclusion:
By subordinating individual interests, McDonald’s maintains brand integrity and operational
harmony.

Page 15: Remuneration

Statement of the Principle:
Employees should receive fair compensation for their work to motivate and retain them.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s offers competitive wages, performance bonuses, and benefits such as tuition
assistance, which helps attract and keep motivated employees.
Conclusion:
Fair remuneration contributes to employee satisfaction and reduces turnover at McDonald’s.
Page 16: Centralization and Decentralization
Statement of the Principle:
The degree to which decision-making is concentrated at a single point (centralization) or
dispersed (decentralization) should be balanced according to organizational needs.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s centralizes branding, product standards, and marketing strategies but
decentralizes menu adaptations and daily operations to franchisees, allowing local
responsiveness.
Conclusion:
This balance enables McDonald’s to maintain global consistency while adapting to local markets.

Page 17: Scalar Chain

Statement of the Principle:
A clear chain of command from top to bottom facilitates communication and decision-making.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s hierarchy flows from the CEO, country heads, regional managers, restaurant
managers, to crew members, ensuring clear communication channels.
Conclusion:
The scalar chain at McDonald’s ensures orders and information flow smoothly throughout the
organization.

Page 18: Order

Statement of the Principle:
There should be a place for everything and everyone, and everything should be in its place to
ensure efficiency.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s kitchens use organized workflows, color-coded storage, and digital order systems
to maintain order and speed.
Conclusion:
Maintaining order helps McDonald’s deliver fast, accurate service.

Page 19: Equity

Statement of the Principle:
Managers should be kind and fair to employees to foster loyalty and motivation.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s promotes diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity, ensuring fair treatment for all
employees worldwide.
Conclusion:
Equity at McDonald’s builds a positive work environment and employee loyalty.

Page 20: Stability of Tenure

Long-term employment promotes skill development and loyalty.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s offers career development programs and opportunities for advancement,
encouraging employees to stay longer.
Conclusion:
Stability of tenure reduces turnover and enhances organizational knowledge at McDonald’s.

Page 21: Initiative

Statement of the Principle:
Employees should be encouraged to take initiative and contribute ideas.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
Franchisees and employees are encouraged to suggest local menu items and operational
improvements, such as the creation of the Big Mac.
Conclusion:
Encouraging initiative fosters innovation and continuous improvement at McDonald’s.

Page 22: Esprit de Corps

Statement of the Principle:
Promoting team spirit builds harmony and unity within the organization.
Observation – How It’s Followed in McDonald’s:
McDonald’s organizes team-building activities and recognizes employee achievements to boost
morale and teamwork.

Page 24: Analysis / Reflection

Through this project, I learned how Henri Fayol’s 14 principles of management are not just
theoretical but actively practiced in successful organizations like McDonald’s. The balance
between centralized control and local autonomy stood out as a key factor in McDonald’s global
success. I found it interesting how employee motivation through fair pay, training, and team spirit
contributes directly to operational excellence. These principles are essential for any business
aiming for sustainable growth.

Page 25: Conclusion

In conclusion, McDonald’s exemplifies the importance of sound management principles in
achieving business success. By systematically applying Henri Fayol’s 14 principles, McDonald’s
maintains consistency, efficiency, and innovation across thousands of outlets worldwide. This
project highlights that good management is the backbone of any thriving business, enabling it to
adapt, grow, and satisfy customers globally.
