19 Classical Perspective Three Sub-Fields  Scientific  Bureaucratic Organizations  Administrative Principles

20 Characteristics of Scientific Management General Approach  Developed standard method for performing each job.  Selected workers with appropriate abilities for each job.  Trained workers in standard method.  Supported workers by planning work and eliminating interruptions.  Provided wage incentives to workers for increased output. Contributions  Demonstrated the importance of compensation for performance.  Initiated the careful study of tasks and jobs.  Demonstrated the importance of personnel and their training. Criticisms  Did not appreciate social context of work and higher needs of workers.  Did not acknowledge variance among individuals.  Tended to regard workers as uninformed and ignored their ideas.

21 Bureaucracy Organizations  Labor is divided with clear definitions of authority and responsibility.  Positions are in hierarchy of authority.  Personnel are selected and promoted based on qualifications.  Management is separate from the ownership.  Rules and procedures ensure reliable, & predictable behavior.  Rules are impersonal and uniformly applied. SOURCE: Adapted from Max Weber, The Theory of Social and Economic Organizations, ed. and trans. A.M. Henderson and Talcott Parsons (New York: Free Press, 1947), 328-337.

22 Administrative Principles  Contributors to this approach, Henri Fayol, Mary Parker, and Chester I. Barnard  Focused on organization rather than the individual  Delineated the management functions of planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling

23 Henri Fayol’s 14 Points  Division of labor  Authority  Discipline  Unity of command  Unity of direction  Subordination of individual interest  Remuneration  Division of labor  Authority  Discipline  Unity of command  Unity of direction  Subordination of individual interest  Remuneration  Centralization  Scalar chain  Order  Equity  Stability and tenure of staff  Initiative  Esprit de corps  Centralization  Scalar chain  Order  Equity  Stability and tenure of staff  Initiative  Esprit de corps

24 Division of work: Division of work and specialization produces more and better work with the same effort. · Authority and responsibility: Authority is the right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. A manager has official authority because of her position, as well as personal authority based on individual personality, intelligence, and experience. Authority creates responsibility. · Discipline: Obedience and respect within an organization are absolutely essential. Good discipline requires managers to apply sanctions whenever violations become apparent. ·

25 Unity of command: An employee should receive orders from only one superior. · Unity of direction: Organizational activities must have one central authority and one plan of action. · Subordination of individual interest to general interest: The interests of one employee or group of employees are subordinate to the interests and goals of the organization. · Remuneration of personnel: Salaries - the price of services rendered by employees - should be fair and provide satisfaction both to the employee and employer. · Centralization: The objective of centralization is the best utilization of personnel. The degree of centralization varies according to the dynamics of each organization.

26  Scalar chain: A chain of authority exists from the highest organizational authority to the lowest ranks.  · Order: Organizational order for materials and personnel is essential. The right materials and the right employees are necessary for each organizational function and activity.  · Equity: In organizations, equity is a combination of kindliness and justice. Both equity and equality of treatment should be considered when dealing with employees.  ·

27  Stability of tenure of personnel: To attain the maximum productivity of personnel, a stable work force is needed.  · Initiative: Thinking out a plan and ensuring its success is an extremely strong motivator. Zeal, energy, and initiative are desired at all levels of the organizational ladder.  · Esprit de corps: Teamwork is fundamentally important to an organization. Work teams and extensive face-to-face verbal communication encourages teamwork.

28 Hawthorne Studies  Ten year study  Four experimental & three control groups  Five different tests  Test pointed to factors other than illumination for productivity  1st Relay Assembly Test Room experiment, was controversial, test lasted 6 years  Interpretation, money not cause of increased output  Factor that increased output, Human Relations

30  People are lazy  People lack ambition  Dislike responsibility  People are self-centered  People don’t like change  People are energetic  People want to make contributions  People do have ambition  People will seek responsibility Douglas McGregor Theory X & Y Theory X Theory Y

31 Behavioral Sciences Approach  Develops theories about human behavior based on scientific methods & study  Sub-field of the Humanistic Perspective  Applies social science in an organizational context  In understanding employees draws from economics, psychology, sociology

32 Management Science Perspective  Emerged after WW II  Distinguished for its application of mathematics, statistics to problem solving  Operations Research emerged  Operations Management emerged  Information Technology

33 Three Contemporary Trends  Systems Theory  Contingency View  Total Quality Management (TQM) Managers need certain core skills and basic understanding of management and leadership if they plan to operate within a TQM System. This site has several core modules.

46 Levels of Corporate Culture Visible 1. Artifacts, such as dress, office layout, symbols, slogans, ceremonies 2. Expressed values, such as “The Penney Idea,” “The HP Way” 3. Underlying assumptions and deep beliefs, such as “people are lazy and can’t be trusted” Invisible Culture that can be seen at the surface level Deeper values and shared understandings held by organization members

47 Visible Manifestations  Symbols  Stories  Heroes  Slogans  Ceremonies

48 Corporate Cultures Adaptive CultureUnadaptive Culture Visible Behavior Expressed Values Managers pay close attention to all their constituencies, especially customers, and initiate change when needed to serve their legitimate interests, even if it entails taking some risks. Managers tend to behave somewhat insularly, politically, and bureaucratically. As a result, they do not change their strategies quickly to adjust to or take advantage of changes in their business environments. Managers care deeply about customers, stockholders, and employees. They strongly value people and processes that can create useful change (e.g., leadership initiatives up and down the management hierarchy). Managers care mainly about themselves, their immediate work group, or some product (or technology) associated with that work group. They value the orderly and risk-reducing management process much more highly than leadership initiatives. Source: John P. Kotter and Jmaes L. Heskett, Corporate Culture and Performance (New York, The Free Press, 1992), 51.
