Pfeffer and Veiga (1999 pp. 37-48) in their 1999 article 'Putting people first for organisational success' discuss how many managers do not practise the "Seven principles of successful organisations" in the workplace. Discuss and critically evaluate Pfeffer and Veiga's findings in the form of an academic essay. In your discussion critically explore whether or not managers who used Henri Fayol's 100 year old '14 Principles of Management' would be able to manage today's successful organization as outlined by Pfeffer and Veiga. Please use other management theorists listed in Chapter 2 of the textbook (Waddell, Jones & George 2013) and academic journals to reinforce your arguments.
