    B. Early management

    Key decisions were made by a central authority such as aking.Organizations managed on a basis of a ruler's divine right ,a church's use of dogma , or the military's use of discipline .Little need to develop and record a formal body ofmanagement.Early ideas of management tended to reappear or bereinvented sporadically in one culture after another.Political, religious, and economic beliefs did not allowbusiness organizations to develop to any degree.

    Outline B. Early management

    Before the Industrial Revolution (England, 18th century).Beginnings: thousands of years back in time.

    First workable steam engine (James Watt):

    Muscle power replaced with machine power .Power engines housed in a central factory loca tion workers left cottages to go to work in factories.

    Steam power lower production costs , expanded marketsfor more cheaply priced and more available goods.

    Expanding market more workers , more machines , and alarger scale of production on a regular basis increasing

    need to find methods of organizing and directing .Governing way of government, church, or militaryreplaced by a new philosophy: capitalism (laissez-faireeconomics).

    II. Bureaucratic management

    Outline D. Classical viewpoint II. Bureaucratic management

    German economist and lawyer. One of the originators of sociology. Devoted his attention to the organization itself as an object of study. Did not directly deal withtask-level issues.

    Concerned with designing a structure of authority-activity relationships which wouldfacilitate the attainment of organizational goals.

    He developed the concept of bureaucracy as anideal type of organization .

    Max Weber [1864-1920]

    An approach that emphasizes the need for organizations to operatein a rational manner rather than relying on the arbitrary whims of owners and managers.

    Max Weber

    Outline D. Classical viewpoint II. Bureaucratic management Max Weber

    Experience tends universally to show that the purelybureaucratic type of administrative organization [...] is, from

    a purely technical point of view, capable of attaining thehighest degree of efficiency and is in this sense formally the

    most rational known means of carrying out imperativecontrol over human beings. It is superior to any other form inprecision, in stability, in the stringency of its discipline, and in

    its reliability

    Did not invent the bureaucratic form of organization, merely described it in detail andshowed why it was superior to previous types of systems such as monarchies and dictatorships.

    A hierarchy of authority.

    Scalar process

    A person could usually only control five or six people.

    Span of control

    Not only should jobs be broken down into their smallest components(specialization), but also an organization should be broken down into aseries of specialized departments.

    Departmentalization

    To allocate to the manager a staff person (or group) who was an expert in aspecialized area and could provide advice and counsel to the manager.

    Encourages continuous improvement in skills and the development of improvements in methods.

    Specialization of labor

    The right to give orders and the power to exact obedience.

    Authority

    No slacking, bending of rules. The workers should be obedient andrespectful of the organization.

    Discipline

    Each employee has one and only one boss.

    Unity of command

    Remuneration

    Consolidation of management functions. Decisions are made from the top.

    Centralization

    Equity

    Limited turnover of personnel. Lifetime employment for good workers.

    Personnel tenure

    Thinking out a plan and do what it takes to make it happen.

    Initiative

    Harmony, cohesion among personnel. It's a great source of strength in theorganization. For promoting esprit de corps, the principle of unity of command should be observed and the dangers of divide and rule and theabuse of written communication should be avoided.

    Developed as a school of thought in reaction to the cold,impersonal work place of the Classical viewpoint (Traditionalmanagement - TM).

    Behavioral viewpoint

    Focused on technological and structural considerations.Classical theorists generally viewed individuals as mechanisms of production . They were primarily interested in finding ways fororganizations to use these productive mechanisms more efficiently .Dysfunctional consequences of TM:

    Job dissatisfaction and low employee motivation. Displacement of organizational goals. Labor-management conflict. Inability to respond to changing conditions. Customer/client dissatisfaction.

    Examining the effect of illumination on worker productivity.

    Objective

    Improved lighting led to improved performance.

    Previous research

    Illumination seemed to only have a minor influence on output. Other psychological variables were probably involved.

    Failure (abandoned in 1927)

    A new series of studies were begun in the relay assembl y test room .

    To get the workers to express what was on their minds to listen to theperson and summarize from time to time what had been said; no advicewas to be given. The average length of each interview was 1-1/2 hours.

    The interviewer's job

    1. Just talking about a problem appeared to act as an emotional release that seemed to make the workers feel better even though their situationhad not changed.

    2. The worker should not be thought of as an isolated individual, but as amember of a group or groups.

    Hawthorne studies: conclusions

    Outline E. Behavioral viewpoint II. Hawthorne studies 4. The bank wiring room study

    The reaction of people to the experiment itself instead of to the plannedchange.

    Hawthorne effect

    Social organization formed by employees to provide the social benefits notprovided by the company's formal organization.

    Informal organization

    Workers are not so much driven by pay and working conditions as bypsychological needs which can be satisfied by belonging to a work group.

    People feel more positive about their work when they have a chance toparticipate in decisions regarding that work.

    Concern by the supervisor for the workers' needs and recognition of theircontribution to the production process make workers feel more positiveabout the organization and more willing to perform at a high level.

    1. Emphasis was placed on building more collaborative andcooperative relationships between supervisors and workers.

    2. Managers now needed social skills in addition to technical skills.3. Managers required a better understanding of how to make

    Theory X assumptions

    1. The average person dislikes work and will try to avoid it.

    2. Most people need to be coerced , controlled , directed , and

    threatened with punishment to get them to work towardorganizational goals.

    3. The average person wants to be directed , shunsresponsibility , has little ambition , and seeks security above

    all.

  • 8/10/2019 [MG-En-lectures] [02] the Evolution of Management

    47/63

    Theory Y assumptions

    1. Most people do not inherently dislike work; the physical and

    mental effort involved is as natural as play or rest .2. People will exercise self-direction and self-control to reach goals

    to which they are committed; external control and threat ofpunishment are not the only means for ensuring effort towardgoals.
