3. Omnipotent View of
Management
Managers are directly responsible for an
organization’s success or failure.
The quality of the organization is
determined by the quality of its managers.
Someone has to be held accountable
when organizations performs poorly,
regardless of the reasons and that

4. Omnipotent View of
Management
Of course, when things go well manager
also get the credit-even if they had little to
do with achieving the positive outcome.
When profits are up ,managers take the
credit and reward themselves with
bonuses, stock options and like.
When profits are down, top managers are
often fired ,in the belief that “new
blood”will bring improved results.

failure is due to external forces outside of
managers’ control.
The symbolic view says the a manager’s
ability to affect outcomes is influenced
and constrained by external factors.
According to this view it is unreasonable
to expect managers to significantly affect
an organization’s performance.
