Contingency theory proposes that there is no single best way to organize or lead an organization, and that the optimal approach depends on internal and external situational factors. Key points of contingency theory include: 1) different leadership styles are appropriate for different situations; 2) organizations perform best when their structure fits both the environment and the needs of its members; and 3) managers must analyze each unique situation to determine the most effective approach. Contingency theory rejects the notion that universal management principles can be applied in all cases.

Course designing as a supervisory functionDaryl Tabogoc
The document discusses the key elements and process of designing an effective course, noting that a good course should not only provide students with content knowledge but also enable them to solve problems and think independently in the subject area after completing the course. It outlines the major components of course design as establishing learning objectives, identifying appropriate assessments and instructional strategies, and developing a structured plan for delivering course content and achieving the desired learning outcomes.
Supervisors should analyze problem times and places to determine when and where extra staff supervision is needed, and which students require the most supervision. Supervisors should actively circulate among students, engaging them in positive conversation to provide support and be available for help during sensitive times, so students see the supervisors' presence as an opportunity rather than a punishment.
Change management is a structured approach to transitioning organizations from their current state to a desired future state. There are several models of change management including Lewin's unfreeze-change-refreeze model, the ADKAR model with its five building blocks, and dynamic conservatism which explores an organization's inherent resistance to constant change. Organizational change management includes processes for managing the human aspect of change through techniques like creating change strategies, engaging leaders, building awareness, and sustaining changes.

It also lists some legal issues supervisors should be aware of, such as retaliation, workplace violence, wage/hour laws, and record keeping. Finally, it describes a developmental approach to supervision, where the supervisor matches their style to the supervisee's level of experience, from self-centered early on to more collaborative as the supervisee gains seniority.
Formative supervision is a process used by educational administrators to improve instruction in the classroom and student learning. It involves classroom visits, goal setting, follow-up visits, mentoring, coaching, feedback, and professional development opportunities. The primary goal is to continuously improve instruction in each classroom, as this is how administrators can indirectly impact student learning. Effective supervision aims to enhance teachers' instructional skills through behavioral changes.
Entrepreneurship - Function, Terminologies and TheoriesDaryl Tabogoc
This document defines key terms and theories related to entrepreneurship. It defines entrepreneurship as the process of creating something new with value by devoting time, effort and resources to it. An entrepreneur develops a business model and is responsible for the business's success or failure. Theories discussed include laissez-faire theory, Keynesian theory, Ricardian theory, Harrod-Domar theory, and innovation theory. Key terms defined include business failure, capital, competition, demand, economics, entrepreneur, profit, scarcity, and venture.
Management consulting involves analyzing a company's current operations, identifying areas for improvement, and developing strategies and plans to help management solve complex business issues and increase efficiency, structure, and profits. Common management consulting services include change management, technology implementation, strategy development, operational improvement, and coaching. Consultants specialize in areas like strategy, operations, marketing, finance, human resources, technology, quality management, and outsourcing. While hiring consultants provides new skills and allows companies to focus on their core business, it also comes with higher costs and less control over the consultants.
This document summarizes several classical management theories:
1. Henri Fayol emphasized organizational structure with principles like division of labor and unity of command. F.W. Taylor's scientific management broke tasks into timed components to increase efficiency but ignored human factors.
2. Douglas McGregor's Theory X viewed humans as lazy, while Theory Y found fulfillment through responsibility and creativity.
3. Edward Deming emphasized continuous improvement, training, effective communication, and removing barriers to quality work.
4. While no single theory guarantees success, combining old and new approaches can be more effective than relying on one.
Success is not defined by prestige, power, prosperity, position, or pleasure, but rather by making a positive difference in others' lives through significantly helping to change the world. To be truly successful, one must view their work as a calling or vocation focused on giving to others, rather than just a means to an end. Specific ways to achieve this view of work include committing to be your best, focusing on caring for people over things, keeping learning, looking for opportunities to serve others, and developing the right habits through desire, knowledge, and skills.
1. The document discusses several social psychologists and their theories related to human motivation and leadership, including Maslow, McGregor, Likert, and Argyris.
2. Maslow developed a hierarchy of human needs from basic physiological needs to higher needs of esteem and self-actualization. McGregor proposed Theory X and Theory Y about management assumptions regarding employee motivation and control.
3. Likert described four patterns of management from exploitative to participative. Argyris studied that classical organization models promoted employee "immaturity" while maturity involved greater independence, interests, and self-awareness.
This document defines key concepts in economics. It begins by providing definitions of economics from various sources, focusing on the study of scarce resources and unlimited wants. It then outlines different economic systems like capitalism, communism, and socialism. It also discusses the four factors of production (land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship). The document explains concepts like microeconomics, macroeconomics, stocks and flows. It provides a detailed explanation of the circular flow model, showing the flows of goods, services and income between households and firms. It concludes by discussing savings, investment and how they relate to the circular flow model.
There are opposing factors that influence population growth rates. Pronatalist pressures increase desire to have children while birth reduction pressures in developed countries, like higher education and women's freedom, result in fewer children. Most countries experience a demographic transition as development improves living conditions and death rates fall faster than birth rates. Some experts believe this transition will lead world population to stabilize in the 21st century, while others warn many poor countries may be trapped in high population growth due to resource shortages preventing development. Ensuring social justice, women's empowerment, child survival and access to family planning are key to successfully slowing growth rates.
1) A system is made up of interrelated parts that work together as a unified whole. An organization is a system with subsystems and parts that are mutually dependent.
2) An organization can be viewed as an open system that interacts with its external environment by taking in inputs and transforming them into outputs. Key aspects of an open system include inputs, transformation processes, outputs, and feedback.
3) The seven factors model describes seven interrelated factors - strategy, structure, systems, style, staff, skills, and shared values - that determine how a corporation operates and should be considered by managers for successful implementation of strategies.
Bananas are an important crop for the Philippines. The country is the fourth largest producer and exporter of bananas worldwide. Around 5.9 million farm households depend on banana production as their primary source of income. The banana industry is also the leading export earner for Filipino farmers. Major varieties produced are Cavendish, lakatan, and latundan, with Cavendish and banana chips being the leading exports. Banana production is concentrated in Mindanao, which accounts for over 60% of the country's total banana output.
This document discusses behavioral theories of leadership. It proposes that behavioral theories look at the actual behaviors of successful leaders rather than innate traits. If leadership success can be defined by describable actions, then others can learn to act the same way to become leaders. This implies that leadership can be learned through training people to focus on effective behaviors and ways of operating. The document outlines some key behavioral theories, including the Managerial Grid model which identifies five common leadership styles based on concern for production vs people. It provides details on the seven behaviors associated with different styles on the Managerial Grid model.
Rensis Likert identified four main leadership styles based on how decisions are made and the degree to which people are involved: exploitative-authoritative, benevolent-authoritative, consultative, and participative. The exploitative-authoritative style uses fear and threats with top-down decision making. The benevolent-authoritative style uses rewards but restricts upward communication. The consultative style offers rewards and punishments with some wider involvement in decisions. The participative style encourages open communication and group decision making to achieve high productivity and good labor relations.
Situational leadership theory proposes that there is no single best leadership style and that effective leadership depends on the readiness level of the group or individual. The theory identifies four leadership styles (telling, selling, participating, and delegating) based on the amount of task behavior and relationship behavior exhibited. It also identifies four developmental levels of group maturity (M1-M4). The theory asserts that effective leadership involves matching one's style to the competence and commitment level (D1-D4) of the group for the task. The key to effective leadership is correctly assessing the situation and applying the appropriate leadership style.
This document profiles 5 great leaders: Toussaint L'Ouverture who led the Haitian Revolution to independence; George W. Bush who served as US President during 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; Mao Zedong who established the People's Republic of China; the 14th Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism and Nobel Peace Prize winner; and Margaret Thatcher, the first female UK Prime Minister and proponent of privatization and reducing trade union power. Each leader is briefly described in terms of their background, accomplishments and leadership style.
Ann Evanston has over 20 years of experience as a speaker, consultant, and coach. She specializes in helping small business owners, especially women, develop unique brands and marketing strategies. Her background in psychology allows her to understand clients' motivations and challenges. As a consultant, her typical day involves online work with clients through consulting portals, where she helps them improve their branding, messaging, and digital marketing. While fulfilling work, her main challenge is clients who don't fully implement her recommendations. She advises consultants to be authentic and practice what they preach.
Code of Ethics Relevant to Management ConsultancyDaryl Tabogoc
This document outlines a code of ethics for management consultancy. It defines a code of ethics as a set of guidelines and principles to help professionals conduct business honestly and with integrity. The management consultancy code of ethics ensures consultants maintain professionalism and high ethical standards when providing services to clients and dealing with colleagues. It establishes fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, confidentiality, professional behavior, and technical standards. The code also provides specific guidelines regarding clients, engagements, fees, and the profession.
Organizational development (OD) interventions are planned actions intended to increase an organization's effectiveness by disrupting the status quo. To be effective, interventions must fit the organization's needs, be based on causal knowledge, and transfer change management skills. The success of interventions depends on factors like readiness for change, cultural context, and the capabilities of the change agent. Common approaches to change include structural, technical, and behavioral strategies, which often need to be integrated. Stream analysis is a useful planning tool that provides a graphical view of planned changes over time. Major OD techniques target the individual, team, intergroup, and total organizational levels.
The document discusses reproduction in organisms including both sexual and asexual reproduction. It then focuses on the human reproductive systems, describing the main parts and functions of both the male and female systems. Key topics covered include gamete production, fertilization, menstrual and estrous cycles, and common reproductive issues.
The endocrine system consists of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The major glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pancreas, testes/ovaries, and pineal gland. Hormones have various effects on target cells, such as stimulating or inhibiting growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes. There are two main mechanisms of hormonal action - steroid hormones bind directly to receptors to influence gene expression, while peptide hormones activate intracellular messenger systems. Disorders can result from hormone deficiencies or excesses.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management.

Contingency theory
1. Assumptions
The leader's ability to lead is contingent upon
various situational factors, including the
leader's preferred style, the capabilities and
behaviors of followers and also various other
situational factors.
2. Description
Contingency theories are a class of
behavioral theory that contend that there is
no one best way of leading and that a
leadership style that is effective in some
situations may not be successful in others.
An effect of this is that leaders who are very
effective at one place and time may become
unsuccessful either when transplanted to
another situation or when the factors around
them change.
3. Description
This helps to explain how some leaders who
seem for a while to have the 'Midas touch'
suddenly appear to go off the boil and make
very unsuccessful decisions.
Historically, contingency theory has sought to
formulate broad generalizations about the
formal structures that are typically associated
with or best fit the use of different
technologies.
4. Description
The perspective originated with the work
of Joan Woodward (1958), who argued that
technologies directly determine differences in
such organizational attributes as span of
control, centralization of authority, and the
formalization of rules and procedures.
5. Contingency theory is similar
to situational theory in that there is an
assumption of no simple one right way.
The main difference is that situational
theory tends to focus more on the
behaviors that the leader should adopt,
given situational factors (often about
follower behavior), whereas contingency
theory takes a broader view that includes
contingent factors about leader capability
and other variables within the situation.
6. They suggested that previous theories
such
as Weber's bureaucracy and Taylor's scien
tific management had failed because they
neglected that management style and
organizational structure were influenced
by various aspects of the environment: the
contingency factors. There could not be
"one best way" for leadership or
organization.
