Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fayol's management processes focus on the classical functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling), where monitoring is part of the controlling function. Mintzberg's management roles categorize a manager's work into interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles, with the monitor role specifically under informational roles, emphasizing the manager's responsibility to gather and disseminate information. Thus, while both involve oversight, the context and emphasis differ between the two theories.
