Contributions of philosophers.

• Socrates, Plato and Aristotle in their "Dialogues", "Republic" and "Politics" respectively, set out their views on administration; how an art, a democracy, and a public administration in three forms: monarchy and / or tyranny, aristocracy or elite and democracy or government of the people. (Chiavenato, 1998) p.30

(2003) Ruth Saavedra page 71 Guzmán, If a request is made to you, listen calmly to what the petitioner has to tell you not to reply to him before he has emptied his soul or before he has told you why he came… It is not (necessary) that all he has asked for be granted, (but) does not a good listener reassure the heart?

• They pioneered planning and advisory boards, and when it came to government, they demonstrated that they knew the control functions of operations on a large scale and through a centralized organization comparable to medieval Europe. (Claude S. George, Lourdez Álvarez, 2005)

It is based on the writings of Mencius and Chow., The latter being a catalog of the emperor's servants, in him, the responsibilities of the domestic servants were clearly marked.

Mencius argued that laws alone were not sufficient to run business.

One cannot fail to mention the "Art of War" written by Sun Tzu, which highlights the concept of direction: (Silva, 2002) p. 90

"If the command words are not clear and exact, if the orders are not understood, it will be the general's fault."

Probably written in 1100 BC The world's oldest military treatise. (Silva, 2002)

Scientific theory of administration.

Frederick W. Taylor

Conclusions

1. Evolution of administrative thought, is the enrichment or adaptation of concepts to each time and environment. We cannot do without administration and it is indisputable that it exists. The human being, like any company is perfectible. Once perfection is reached, and finished a cycle, let's look back and go back to the beginning.
