  1. Management11e John Schermerhorn Chapter 2 Management Learning Past to Present

  2. Planning Ahead — Chapter 2 Study Questions • What can be learned from classical management thinking? • What insights come from behavioral management approaches? • What are the foundations of modern management thinking?

  3. Figure 2.1 Major branches in the classical approach to management

  4. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Scientific management (Frederick Taylor) • Develop rules of motion, standardized work implements, and proper working conditions for every job • Carefully select workers with the right abilities for the job • Carefully train workers and provide proper incentives • Support workers by carefully planning their work and removing obstacles

  5. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Scientific management (the Gilbreths) • Motion study • Science of reducing a job or task to its basic physical motions • Eliminating wasted motions improves performance

  6. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Practical lessons from scientific management • Make results-based compensation a performance incentive • Carefully design jobs with efficient work methods • Carefully select workers with the abilities to do these jobs • Train workers to perform jobs to the best of their abilities • Train supervisors to support workers so they can perform jobs to the best of their abilities

  7. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Administrative principles (Henri Fayol) — rules of management:

  8. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Administrative principles (Henri Fayol) • Scalar chain • there should be a clear and unbroken line of communication from the top to the bottom of the organization • Unity of command • each person should receive orders from only one boss • Unity of direction • one person should be in charge of all activities with the same performance objective

  9. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Bureaucratic organization (Max Weber) • Bureaucracy • An ideal, intentionally rational, and very efficient form of organization • Based on principles of logic, order, and legitimate authority

  10. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Characteristics of bureaucratic organizations: • Clear division of labor • Clear hierarchy of authority • Formal rules and procedures • Impersonality • Careers based on merit

  11. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Possible disadvantages of bureaucracy: • Excessive paperwork or “red tape” • Slowness in handling problems • Rigidity in the face of shifting needs • Resistance to change • Employee apathy Chapter 2

  12. Figure 2.2 Foundations in the behavioral or human resource approaches to management

  13. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Behavioral Management - human resource approaches include: • Hawthorne studies • Maslow’s theory of human needs • Mary Parker Follett’s Organizations as communities • McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y • Argyris’s theory of adult personality

  14. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Organizations as communities – Mary Parker Follett • Groups and human cooperation: • Groups allow individuals to combine their talents for a greater good • Organizations are cooperating “communities” of managers and workers • Manager’s job is to help people cooperate and achieve an integration of interests

  15. Study Question 1: What can be learned from classical management thinking? • Organizations as communities • Forward-looking management insights:

  16. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Hawthorne studies • Initial study examined how economic incentives and physical conditions affected worker output • No consistent relationship found • “Psychological factors” influenced results

  17. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Hawthorne studies (cont.) • Relay assembly test-room studies • Manipulated physical work conditions to assess impact on output • Designed to minimize the “psychological factors” of previous experiment • Factors that accounted for increased productivity: • Group atmosphere • Participative supervision

  18. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Hawthorne studies (cont.) • Employee attitudes, interpersonal relations and group processes • Some things satisfied some workers but not others • People restricted output to adhere to group norms

  19. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Lessons from the Hawthorne Studies: • Social and human concerns are keys to productivity • Hawthorne effect — people who are singled out for special attention perform as expected

  20. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Maslow’s theory of human needs • A need is a physiological or psychological deficiency a person feels compelled to satisfy • Need levels: • Physiological • Safety • Social • Esteem • Self-actualization

  21. Figure 2.3 Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs

  22. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Maslow’s theory of human needs • Deficit principle • A satisfied need is not a motivator of behavior • Progression principle • A need becomes a motivator once the preceding lower-level need is satisfied • Both principles cease to operate at self-actualization level

  23. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • McGregor’s Theory X assumes that workers: • Dislike work • Lack ambition • Are irresponsible • Resist change • Prefer to be led

  24. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • McGregor’s Theory Y assumes that workers are: • Willing to work • Capable of self control • Willing to accept responsibility • Imaginative and creative • Capable of self-direction

  25. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Implications of Theory X and Theory Y: • Managers create self-fulfilling prophecies • Theory X managers create situations where workers become dependent and reluctant • Theory Y managers create situations where workers respond with initiative and high performance • Central to notions of empowerment and self-management

  26. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Argyris’s theory of adult personality • Classical management principles and practices inhibit worker maturation and are inconsistent with the mature adult personality

  27. Study Question 2: What insights come from the behavioral management approaches? • Argyris’s theory of adult personality • Management practices should accommodate the mature personality by: • Increasing task responsibility • Increasing task variety • Using participative decision making

  28. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Foundations for continuing developments in management

  29. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Management science or operations research

  30. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Management science or operations research • Queuing theory allocates service personnel/workstations to minimize service cost and customer waiting time • Network models break large tasks into smaller components for for better coordination • Simulations create problem models to test different solutions

  31. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Operations management is the study of how organizations produce goods and services

  32. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Organizations as Systems • System • Collection of interrelated parts that function together to achieve a common purpose • Subsystem • A smaller component of a larger system • Open systems • Organizations that interact with their environments in the continual process of transforming resource inputs into outputs

  33. Figure 2.4 Organizations as complex networks of interacting subsystems

  34. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Contingency thinking • Tries to match managerial responses with problems and opportunities unique to different situations • No “one best way” to manage • Appropriate way to manage depends on the situation

  35. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Quality and performance excellence • Managers and workers in progressive organizations are quality conscious • Quality and competitive advantage are linked • Total quality management (TQM) • Comprehensive approach to continuous quality improvement for a total organization • Creates context for the value chain

  36. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Quality and performance excellence • ISO certification • Global quality benchmark • Refine and upgrade quality to meet ISO standards • Continuous improvement • Continual search for new ways to improve quality • Something always can and should be improved

  37. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning • Knowledge management is the process of using intellectual capital for competitive advantage • Portfolio of intellectual assets include patents, intellectual property rights, trade secrets, and accumulated knowledge of the entire workforce

  38. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Learning organizations • Organizations that are able to continually learn and adapt to new circumstances • Core ingredients include:

  39. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Evidence-Based Management • Making management decisions on “hard facts” about what really works

  40. Study Question 3: What are the foundations of modern management thinking? • Evidence-Based Positive Human Resource Management Practices • Employment security • Selective hiring • Self-managing teams • High pay based on merit • Training and development • Reduced status distinctions • Shared information
