Based on my work experience, the reasons why management is "necessary"
is so that the workers will never discover that they can organize
themselves to do the same work in the complete absence of "management."
That is, management is politically necessary, not economically necessary.
Far from helping to promote productivity or creativity, the work of management is to throttle both as much as possible. Throttling creativity is always the rule. As for productivity -- while they are always interested in making workers work harder; they are seldom interested in making them more efficient, at least in my neck of the woods: hi tech.
