REASONS FOR MAINTAINING THE RELEVANCE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT IN MODERN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

In the context of technological transformation and the growing complexity of organizational systems, the scientific and practical significance of the fundamental principles of management formulated in the works of F. A. Kropotkin remains stable. Taylor, A.Fayol, and M. Weber. An empirical study conducted in 30 companies in the Krasnodar Region revealed a high degree of institutionalization of classical management principles in modern practices, including standardization of operations, planning and control functions, formalization of procedures and professional qualification of personnel. It is established that despite the transformation of individual elements – such as rigid functional specialization or the absolutization of hierarchy-the basic components of classical management continue to perform a structurally stabilizing role, ensuring predictability, coordination and stability of management processes. Hybrid models that combine fundamental stability with adaptive flexibility are the most effective. The results confirm the need for modernization, rather than abandoning the classical foundations, which is especially important for organizations operating in a highly uncertain and dynamic external environment.
