Sumario: Management came into being thanks to the written works of both Taylor(1911) and Fayol (1916); nevertheless, it is the result of processes thattook place during the Industrial Revolution (1780-1900) (archaeologicalmoment). This paper addresses the role that the entrepreneurs’ writingson their work organization practices in industries played in the formationof management during that period. After a critical-hermeneutic review ofprimary and secondary bibliography, it was found that, before the existenceof such works, entrepreneurs had a tradition of expressing theirempirical knowledge (management practices) in texts, thereby indicatingthat writing was fundamental in shaping management as a practice thatproduces its own theoretical knowledge (discursive practice).
