Luther Gulick was an American expert on public administration who developed theories on management and organization. He formulated the POSDCORB principles which outline the main functions of management as Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Coordinating, Reporting and Budgeting. Gulick also developed the concepts of departmentalization and the unity of command principle. While influential, Gulick's theories were criticized for being oversimplified and vague in application to real organizations. His POSDCORB principles in particular were criticized for potential contradictions and ambiguities.

> Define the job to be done. > Provide a director to see that the objective in realized. > Determine the nature and number of individualized and specialized work units. > Establish and perfect the structure of authority
Gulick notes that the number of subordinates that can be handled by a manager depend on- > Organizational stability > The specialization of the subordinate > Space
Gulick has emphasized the theory of unit of command that- > Each worker should only have one direct superior. > To avoid confusion and inefficiency.
In 1935, Luther Gulick formulated POSDCORB,
> Planning: Outline the things need to be done. > Organizing: Establishment of the formal structure and authority. > Staffing: Training the staff and maintaining favorable conditions of work. > Directing: Giving orders and instructions to control the subordinates. > Coordinating: Duty of interlating the various parts of the work. > Reporting: Informig the authority what is going on. > Budgeting: Form of fiscal planning, accounting and control.
Public administration scholars such as Robert Dahl, Dwight Waldo and Herbert A. Simon released articles and books criticizing POSDCORB. > Simon states that the POSDCORB principles are- 1. Oversimplification of administration 2. Vagueness and ambiguities involved in applying this principle in a real world setting in specialization principles. 3. The principle unity of command is contradicts the principle of specialization.
