Contemporary Theories Used Today The contemporary approaches to management were developed from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s. They are based in part on the contemporary approaches to management and include: (1) sociotechnical systems theory, (2) quantitative management (3) organizational behavior, and (4) systems theory. The timeline in Exhibit 2.1 in the text illustrates the development of these four theories.
