Task 2
Using Tannenbaum and Schmidt's (1958) Continuum for leadership and involvement, my management style is Consult (Participative). This style
allows me to adapt if/when required. It gives me the capacity to make the final decision with the added benefit of tapping into the ideas of
subordinates. I think you can become blinkered and stagnate if you have held a position for sometime without listening to the ideas and view points of
others.
The benefits of this style are; openness to new ideas, encouraging innovation and increased efficiency. Due to the improved communication, it
empowers employees to increase their ownership in their work which increases efficiency, productivity, consequently decreasing absenteeism, employee
turnover and limiting the cost of manufacture. Being involved in decision making means they can immediately pin point areas for improvement, there
is greater focus on self management, leading to increased skill sets with lesser need of supervision and support staff. Better communication leads to
fewer grievances, with many issues resolved on the spot.
Resistance to change is the biggest obstacle for this method, as employees have the right to not participate or may become sceptical of management
using the information gained to manipulate them.

Every organization utilizes different types of management techniques, practices, theories and principles. Each organization utilizes their own practices
as it correlates to their organizations' mission, goals and culture. What works for one organization may not work for the next. In my opinion, I believe
that multiple management practices can work for an organization. The best way to determine which practices will be beneficial to an organization is as
simple as trial and error.

But now in the Navy I currently work on a 200 ton ship. My work environment is arduous, industrious and at times very dangerous. I would definitely
say that the typical management practices don't work for my work environment. But fortunately some of them do work and they work very well.
Being in the military, most military members don't have the traditional jobs, work schedules, and working environment. When deployed I can work up
to 18 hours days up to 7 days a week. Working such grueling scheduling it takes remarkable leadership and management skills to keep individuals in my
work environment working steadily and keep morale at optimal levels. Within the military one of the most important theories in management is the
Behavioral Management Theory.
The Behavioral Management Theory works well within the military because it emphasizes understanding of human behavior at work, such as
motivation, conflict, expectations, and group dynamics, improved productivity. In the military, especially during times of war it is crucial to
understand human emotions and behaviors. For example, in the Navy we are literally a floating city with in excess of 4,000 Sailors and Marines.
These 4,000 Sailors and Marines are made up of different races, cultures and socioeconomic statuses. Every one of the individuals onboard experiences
a different emotion at any given time. As a leader it is important to acknowledge that and

In 1987, the British government called upon the international organisation for standardisation (ISO) to implement BS 5750 as an international
standard. Upon doing so the international standard was named ISO 9000.
The 8 principles of Quality Management
ISO 9001 is built upon 8 fundamental principles of Quality Management which include a few of its many requirements.
1.Customer focus
2.Leadership
3.Involvement of people
4.Process approach
5.Systems approach to management
6.Continual improvement
7.Factual approach to decision making
8.Mutually beneficial supplier relationships
Customer focus
Customer focus is a great way of expanding and making your business or organisation successful. It's absolutely crucial that you understand what your
customer wants, what they need and how you can meet their requirements to the best of your ability.
Leadership
This second principle relates to leadership and where the business or organisation is heading. The company should have clear goals and its employees
should be very keen on achieving this.
Involvement of people
Involvement of people is one of the best ways in achieving quality. This is done by involving people who have a different set of skills and levels in
the organisation or business. This will enable the company to deal with much more customers who have specific requirements.

Principles of Scientific Management
Since its inception in 1911 Scientific Management has soared to incredible heights, spread across the entire world as an expert`s way to make the
most out of the time an employee. Before I begin analysing its use today it`s important to first establish what Scientific Management means. It is
defined concisely in the business dictionary as "an early 20th century school of management thought concerned primarily with the physical efficiency
of an individual worker" that "emphasises the rationalization and standardisation of work through the division of labour, time and motion studies, work
measurement and piece rate wages" (businessdictionary.com,2014)

A different time?
The late 18th/ early 19th century was a particularly interesting time with respect to industry. Most small undeveloped ones were mostly localised
while the larger, more profitable industries had begun to make use of economies of scale and scope, some of the most notable being the Standard
Oil Trust led by John D. Rockefeller and Ford Motor Company in the US and Bayer in Germany. (Alfred D. Chandler, 1990) The world had begun
to open up to international trade and it was upon business owners and managers to decide how they wanted to expand with exports growing
continuously (International Trade Statistics, 1962, Pgs 51 & 52). The chance was there for management who were willing to take a risk and invest to
take control of their respective markets. The business world was changing and it needed smart managers to steer it the right way. That was why in
1911 when the news broke in America of a style of management that would to exponentially increase efficiency that the whole world caught on with
Ueno YoAichi bringing it as far as Japan in 1912 (Tsutsui,1998). Although in Taylor`s article he only really mentions how he applied his system in a

The Regional Administration Office of a company was hastily set up. Victor D'Cuhna a young executive was directly recruited to take charge of Data
Processing Cell of this office. The data processing was to help the administrative office in planning and monitoring. The officer cadre of the
administrative office was a mix of directly recruited officers and promotee officers (promotion from within the organization).
Females dominated the junior clerical cadre. This cadre was not formally trained. The administrative office had decided to give these fresh recruits

the administrative office was heading for trouble. He knew that his task would not be easy and that he had been selected because of his experience,

Critically Analyse a 'Current' (2011 onwards) Article Drawing Upon One Major Management Concept Covered in The Course.
Corporate Culture, as defined by Daft and Samson (2015, p. 112), is the common code of conduct, philosophies and suppositions shared between
members within an organisation that encompasses the entirety of it. All organisations have a prevalentculture that can be characterised as either stable
or flexible, concentrating either on its internal or external workings as described by Cameron and Quinn's (1999, cited in Yazici 2011, p. 21)
Competing Values Model (CVM) of culture. This essay will critically evaluate the chosen article's theory that a company's culture and success is
determined by the attitudes exhibited by its top leaders, rather than the national culture. It will do so by analysing examples of leaders' behaviours, the
national culture of a country and the effect of culture on an organisation.
The leadership behaviours of corporation leaders can affect its culture by influencing the members of the corporation from top–down. Culture is taught
to employees by those in experienced managerial positions; so regularly practised that it becomes the norm, and is then emulated by new employees
who continue the behavioural patterns (Hellriegel et al. 2004, cited in Mishra & Raykundaliya 2011, p. 87; Kruger 2003, cited in Mishra &

These are a few of the many questions I asked to multiple managers within the company that I work for. Being a relatively new employee, working
there for a little over a year, I wanted to ask these questions. Not to see how different managers felt about specific employees, but to get an overall

They have to always be aware of what 's going on so that they can make the adjustments that are required. This is a continual process that stays intact
for as long as the goals are being implemented. Once the goals have changed, the four pillars of goal setting for a manager must be reshaped. With
goals set forth and employees on the move it is important once again to do some investigating. We already looked at ways managers go through their
goal setting process. Let 's now enter into the realm of how the employee motivates themselves in their goal setting adventure. It is said that many top
performers have one thing in common; they set clear, actionable goals and stay focused on them. While most people understand the importance of
goals, the most effective take an extra step of writing down their goals and steps to achieve them. This is important because, ultimately, reflecting on
why they hope
to achieve their goals, rather than simply knowing what their goals are, is what motivates them to pursue their given goals. Take a page from the
top–performer playbook and create your own SMART goals. The letters can stand for various words, but one popular interpretation is:
S = Specific M = Measurable A = Attainable R = Relevant T = Time

The Principles Of Scientific Management
Although published over a century ago, Frederick Winslow Taylor's renowned work The Principles of Scientific Management set forth a theory that
to this day is subjected to a similar degree of critique and debate to that in the early 20th century. While Taylor's ideas were evidently influenced by
the works of earlier researchers, it is he who is credited as the "father" of the scientific management movement (Jeacle, 2004, p. 1164). As such,
scientific management itself is synonymous with Taylor to the extent that it is commonly referred to as "Taylorism." Nevertheless, this view can be
misleading – key principles of the theory are generally perceived as applicable only in the manufacturing sector where Taylor's research was directed,
whereas in reality they can be applied quite effectively to the service sector. While the model is plagued by flaws in both industries, it can nevertheless
still be regarded as a valuable framework for managing organisations and their human resources.
Although it has attracted a great deal of criticism, Taylor's thesis can be regarded as an effective management approach in the sector it is has
historically been implemented in; that is, the manufacturing sector. In fact, from an efficiency standpoint the value of scientific management cannot be
denied – the vast majority of criticism directed toward the theory centres on human resource and ethical matters, rather than its capacity to maximise
performance and productivity. The theory itself

centralization, remuneration, order, scalar chain, equity, subordinate of individual to general interest, stability of tenure and
ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS 6 personnel initiative, and esprit de corps. It is important to notice that these principles are now
interpreted in a different way for effective managers of large service–based organizations and high–tech companies as they have adapted some of these
existing ideas into a more contemporary management framework (Rodrigues, 2001). This phenomenon happened because the work required for
completing a task require less manual labor and more knowledge work, therefore the principles developed in the early 1916 had become less
effective. For example, a manager cannot see inside the head of a computer engineer to devise the fastest way to create a new website.

The Administrative Principles of Management
The administrative principles of management, created in the early 20th century by French industrialist Henri Fayol, changed the way that many view
management. Fayol's principles focused mainly on the management teams of businesses and helped establish a top to bottom hierarchal system to
produce a more structured organization (Brunsson, 2008; Yoo, Lemak, & Choi, 2008; Fells, 2000). This essay will focus on four of the 14 key
principles of administrative theory – unity of command, subordination of individual interest for the interest of the organization, esprit de corp. and
remuneration – and analyze how they have been applied in a leading New Zealand company, Pumpkin Patch Limited (Ltd.) (Samson & Daft, 2009,
p.64; Wren, Bedian, &... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although it has been adapted from Fayol's original idea, subordination of individual interest of general interest, it is still present in Pumpkin Patch Ltd.
In a company that is downsizing, and even when it is not, Esprit de Corp is a principle that plays a major factor in contemporary organizations today.
Esprit de Corp is when a business creates, and maintains, employee harmony, unity and morale (Fells, 2000; Rodrigues, 2001). This allows for a happy
working environment, and a happy employee means that they are more likely to achieve productivity and efficiency outcomes. Pumpkin Patch Ltd. has
adapted this to fit their family environment that they feel the company has (Pumpkin Patch Limited, n.d.). The company believes in a balance between
work, leisure and flexibility as well as providing an in–house kindergarten for employees' children (Pumpkin Patch Limited, n.d). This, although fairly
minor, is a prime example of how contemporary businesses have adapted one of the founding principles of management and adapted it to fit their
organization. As well as this Pumpkin Patch have organized their business into teams such as the information technology (IT) team and the design team
who are an integral part of the organization in helping attain their goals and aims ( Brookes, et al., 2008). As Pumpkin Patch has consistently produced

good requirements has also led to other project delivery problems – such as the desire to narrow the scope of the project so as to minimize the
requirements workload and risk. Users should understand what it is they want, and be able to identify it specifically. if you don't get the business
requirements right, however well you deliver the project, the client/business will be dissatisfied.

Scope creep is a risk in most projects. it is the change or growth of project scope. Scope creep more frequently occurs during the later stages of a
project, such as programming and testing, than during the earlier stages, such as design. This can occur when the scope of a project is not properly
defined, documented, or controlled. This is a management issue similar to change control. Management should be able to figure it all out at the start. A
project manager often tries to manage scope creep. The goal in managing scope creep is to try to minimize the impact of any changes on the project,
such as on the timeline and cost.

The Principles Of Scientific Management
Introduction
Good management can be defined as the optimal use of available resources to increase an organisation 's efficiency and effectiveness in meeting its
objectives (Garg, 2013). Scientific management has been the dominant model for many years, but its usefulness for meeting modern organisational
challenges may be limited. This paper examines the principles of scientific management, the degree to which it is applied in contemporary organisations,
its utility for addressing modern challenges, and alternative perspectives on management.
The Evolution of Scientific Management

and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Scientific management involves the application of psychological science to guide worker selection, training, and evaluation (Short, 2011; Zuffo, 2011).
Other key elements of the rational choice approach include setting goals and establishing mechanisms to collect feedback, ensuring better customer
relationship management through improved quality and processes (Salimath & Jones, 2011), increasing productivity, and reducing waste (Short, 2011).
Efficiency is at the core of scientific management theory, and greater efficiency is achieved through a focus on optimising time and motion (Bell &
Martin, 2012), while employee motivation is promoted by tying compensation to productivity (Edmans, 2012).
Contributions of scientific management span a number of areas, including job design and analysis, selection of workers, development of incentive and
motivation systems, creation of performance criteria and evaluation systems, influencing employee attitudes, facilitating group processes, managing
organisational change and development, and addressing human factors within an organisation (Bell & Martin, 2012). Although it was popular in the
prior century and tended to increase wages, scientific management attracted criticism because work became more unpleasant and many people lost their
jobs, and concerns that organisational efficiency will be achieved at the expense of workers are still significant today

Principles of Scientific Management
Scientific Management is a theory of management that analyzed and synthesized workflows. Its main objective was improving economic efficiency,
especially labor productivity.
It was one of the earliest attempts to apply science to the engineering of processes and to management. Its development began with Frederick Winslow
Taylor in the 1880s and 1890s within the manufacturing industries. Taylor was an American mechanical engineer and amanagement consultant in his
later years. He is often called "The Father of Scientific Management."
Taylor was writing at a time when factories were creating big problems for the management. Workmen were quite inefficient. According to Taylor, there
were three reasons for the inefficiency. They were the:... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
These principles are usually summarized as:
The development of a true science for each person's work. This principle created by Taylor does replace the old rule–of–thumb method.
The scientific selection, training and development of the workers, whereas in the past he chose his own work and trained him as best he could.
Co–operation with the workers to ensure work is carried out in the prescribed way which has been developed.
The division of work and responsibility between management and the workers. The management takes over all work for which they are better fitted
than the workmen, while in the past almost all of the work and the greater part of the responsibility were thrown upon the men.
These principles were implemented in many factories, often increasing productivity. Henry ford applied Taylor's principles in his automobile factories.

Functions of Management 1. Planning When management is reviewed as a process, planning is the first function performed by a manager. The work
of a manager begins with the setting of objectives of the organization and goals in each area of the business. This is done through planning. A plan is a
predetermined course of action to accomplish the set objectives. It is today's projection for tomorrow's activity. Planning includes objectives, strategies,
policies, procedures, programs, etc. As it involves making choices, decision–making is the heart of planning. 2. Organizing Organizing includes putting
life into the plan by bringing together personnel, capital, machinery, materials etc., to execute the plans. While, planning decides what management
wants to do, organizing provides an effective machine for achieving the plans. 3. Staffing Staffing involves filling the positions needed in the
organization structure by appointing competent and qualified persons for the job. This needs manpower 4. Directing Direction involves managing

6. The Single–Point Responsibility Principle
This principle is an extension of the management principle and is needed for effective management of the project commitment. Clear communication is
very important for the coordination of a complicated project activity.
A single channel of communication must exist between the project sponsor and the project team leader for all decisions affecting the product scope.
7. The Cultural Environment Principle
Management must provide an informed and supportive cultural environment to ensure that the project delivery team are able to work to the limits of
their capacity.
Whatever methodology or framework you prefer, it must be modified to suit the requirements and needs of your project. Rather than sticking to
methodology, the project manager must be able to get used to procedures to meet the demands of the work in hand. the management of the
organization in which the project takes place must be supportive and the environment free of obstacles in the way of project progress. (Wideman,

The Principles Of Scientific Management
Management has been present in human society dating back to Sumerian temples and the building of the pyramids. However, it was not until early
1900s that the practice of management was given theoretic approaches. Five key management theories have been developed since then: scientific
management, structural approach, human relations, systems approach, and contingency. Each approach was developed and influenced by the time
period making a significant impact even on today's modern management principles.
Taylorism, the principles or practice of scientific management, was introduced by a devout Quaker and a mechanical engineer, Frederick Taylor,
whose main focus was how a business could survive. In his essay The Principles of Scientific Management, Taylor writes "the principal object of
management should be to secure the maximum prosperity for the employer, coupled with the maximum prosperity for each employee" (1911). The
application of science management came at a time when scientific discovery and natural science was branching off and most work was still manual. It
took the personalization out of the employer–employee relationship and brought together a productive partnership between management and labour.
Time and motion study assessed the output a normal worker could achieve at normal speed for a given time. Rationality, objectiveness, analyticity, and
science were the keys to the methodology behind the scientific management theory leading to a more measureable approach

Fayol's Management Principles
Introduction
The management and organisations discipline considers Henry Fayol (1841 – 1925) to be one of the early practitioners of management who recognised
principles and theories of management. Indeed, current students, teachers and practitioners find Fayol's management principles to be of interest. This is
especially the case since numerous management authors (Bose, 2013: Lamond, 2005: Lewis, 2007) have the common belief that Fayol's effort founded
the elementary framework and principles for management theory currently being applied. Fayol dedicated a lot of time to endorsing the theory of
administration and throughout this time argued that all business activities precipitate undertakings which are classified into six groups: financial,
commercial, technical, accounting security, and management (Lamond, 2005). While focusing on the management aspect, Fayol considered it to be a
systematic arrangement and integration of the financial, accounting, production, and sales functions of the organisation. Hence, the purpose of Fayol's
management theory was a way of establishing management as a different aspect from other technical activities, however, important to the integration of
various organisational activities in order to realise a common objective. In that respect, Parker & Ritson, 2005 posit that Fayol's management
principles offered and continue to offer an overall management outlook for practising managers as well as an instructional manual for academicians in
the management discipline. The objective of this report is to therefore critically discuss Fayol's perspectives through an analysis of these views as well

SWOT
Interestingly enough, there are different levels of overlap between my SWOT analysis, and those provided to me by others. There is not a consistent
characteristic that appears in every single SWOT, but certain characteristics appear in two or three. The most common strengths that appeared in the
SWOTs were leadership, charisma, and empathy. When I was answering the strengths section of the self SWOT, I thought others mentioned generosity,
listening and thoughtfulness. I can see overlap in my perception of how others see me, and how they actually do see me, but I had not anticipated
leadership as something that would have been visible. In high school, I was actively involved in leadership roles such as student council, worship
bands, yearbook management, and the National Honor Society, but at JBU I have failed to truly involve myself in any structured leadership. The
opportunities people pointed out for me, as well as the ones I see would be beneficial, would include environments and projects conducive to
creativity and interaction with others. As someone who is energized by others, I believe that working in with a motivated team of individuals would
be a great opportunity to develop my strengths. In most of the SWOTs, the weaknesses did not overlap. Personally, I would identify my lack of
motivation and inability to focus extensively as the largest weaknesses. These weaknesses were reaffirmed by a couple of the other SWOTs.

Knowledge Management Principles
The twelve Knowledge Management Principles are aimed at leading individuals to apply key Army principles to their decisions and incorporate them
into the actions that they undertake. Out of these twelve principles, the two that appear to be the most critical would be the first and third principles,
which apply to the training of leaders, managers, and champions on knowledge management principles and creating an environment in which
collaboration can occur on the basis of knowledge management.
First Principle
The first principle that is associated with Knowledge Management is that of training leaders, champions, and managers on being able to incorporate
these principles into their actions and decision making. This principle essentially allows the U.S. Army to "frame logistics [and other types of]
knowledge holistically" (Paparone, 2008, p. 39). The knowledge regarding how to manage actual knowledge and information needs to begin
somewhere, and education and training appear to be the best place to start in order to create a sound foundation for this knowledge to be build up and
constructed further. Proper and sufficient education and knowledge also allows the organization to ensure that all staff members, based on their rank
and level within the organization, have the needed knowledge to carry out their assigned tasks and responsibilities, without any obstacles.

their time doing an operational job, however do not know if it is their exact role; therefore, depending on it and the size of the unit, a greater or lesser
proportion of their time will be spent on supervision, training and involvement with others managers in the organization. To follow and do exactly what
they should, they need to keep up to date by attend training sessions or on a quality assurance committee or have regular briefing meetings with their

The Principles Of Scientific Management
Although retiring at 45, Frederick Taylor continued to promote his principles through lectures at universities as professional societies, leading to his
election as president of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1906. That year he was also given an honorary science degree from the
University of Pennsylvania. During his presidency he wrote many books documenting his methods for maximum production, including "Notes on
Belting", "Piece–rate System", and his bestselling book "The Principles of Scientific Management." He would argue that the most basic of jobs could be
planned in a way to increase productivity, and that initiative and incentive did little in comparison to his scientific method. Taylor would argue that
incentivizing and putting performance based pay on the worker didn't guarantee that worker operating to the best of their abilities.
"In the past man has been first. In the future the System will be first," predicted Frederick Winslow Taylor, the first efficiency expert and model for all
the stopwatch–clicking engineers who stalk the factories and offices of the industrial world. Taylor influenced Ford 's assembly line, and was known
to be a driving factor in Lenin 's Soviet Russia. A known management expert Peter Drucker believed Taylor could be held in the same conversation as

Democratic Style
Democratic style is a platform to create a team to participate in the decision–making process. When an enterprise is making decision, they usually use
democratic style in many parts of the business. Therefore, everyone has the opportunity to dedicate ideas to the decision. There are two types of

This management style is mainly exists in the enterprises.
As a business the main goal as a whole should be to gain a profit. Democratic leadership can produce high quality and high quantity work for long
periods of time. When using this management style, there is one people making the decision and there is no confusion when during the conception.
This also leads to decisions being made more effective and more efficiency. Employees will love this management style in business because they
feel involved and a part of the process. Their performance may be rather than in an authoritarian setting, while give them the power to do the work
could lead to some rely on other to bear the brunt of the work on the project. Also, it depending on what type of work, employees may feel like the
work is being pushed down on them because as a manager you don't want to do it. Furthermore, when employees are making decisions, this can
improve their sense of worth, self–esteem and motivates them to perform better. Decision making process may create advantages such as diverse input,
the establishment of emotional attachment with the extra effort of employees. This style of leadership is ideal for a leader who hopes to make
employees understand the problem that may affect them, and who want the staffs involve in problem solving and decision making.
Democratic leadership works well for leaders who have the ability of flexibility and adaptation.

The Principles Of Scientific Management
The concept of scientific management was first introduced in the book The Principles of Scientific Management, by F.W. Taylor (1911), eventually
forming the concept of the frequently used management technique referred to as Taylorism. This concept revolved around three prime objectives.
Taylorism focuses on the achievement of efficiency – by maximizing output per worker through training in scientific methods to establish the "one best
way of executing each motion" (Katia Caldari, 2007); to create direct control of the manufacturing process, by clearly implementing a hierarchical
authority; and lastly predictability, through the standardization of tasks by the notion of division of labour (Huczynski, A., & Buchanan, D., 2013).
Taylor strongly believed in rationalism, the theory that reason forms the basis of knowledge – and his studies, such as the the Time and Motion Studies
conducted at Bethlehem Steel (Taylor, 1991), led him to believe that the most rational approach to achieving the maximization of productivity in a
business, would be through the incorporation of these three concepts (Huczynski, A., & Buchanan, D., 2013). However, even though these concepts are
arguably advantageous for secondary sector businesses, Taylorism largely ignores the importance certain psychological factors, for instance those
emphasized by Frederick Herzberg's Two Factor Theory or the Them vs. Us mentality. Such psychological factors, according to the Iceberg model

answered:
"In order for me to properly prepare any of my employees for their monthly goals I have to go over all of the information multiple times before I can
effectively relay the message to them. Otherwise, if I'm not organized, they won't be organized out on the job and in the office."
Pillar three, direct is next. This is where the manager simply flips on the switch and turns on the lights for the employees. They are given the goals that
have been established for them and have been released. It is now up to the employees to take the information that they were given and effectively and
efficiently perform their duties to
the best of their abilities. Our internet services manager said it best by saying (Brown, Phil Personal Interview, May 15, 2005):
"Direction is the essence of goal setting. What path will your employees travel down if not directed down the right path? Some will meet their goals

The organization needs to have open communication at all times so the employees feel comfortable in voicing opinions and complaints. Management
must always be motivating the team because of the highly stressful environment. Motivation comes in the form of verbal praise to monetary incentives
at the end of every month. This is a gear that must be in constant motion to make the employees happy and efficient.
The final principle is controlling. This is the management function of monitoring performance and making the necessary changes (Bateman, 2007).

This style allows me to adapt if/when required. It gives me the capacity to make the final decision with the added benefit of tapping into the ideas of subordinates. I think you can become blinkered and stagnate if you have held a position for sometime without listening to the ideas and view points of others. The benefits of this style are; openness to new ideas, encouraging innovation and increased efficiency. Due to the improved communication, it empowers employees to increase their ownership in their work which increases efficiency, productivity, consequently decreasing absenteeism, employee turnover and limiting the cost of manufacture. Being involved in decision making means they can immediately pin point areas for improvement, there is greater focus on self management, leading to increased skill sets with lesser need of supervision and support staff. Better communication leads to fewer grievances, with many issues resolved on the spot.

But now in the Navy I currently work on a 200 ton ship. My work environment is arduous, industrious and at times very dangerous. I would definitely say that the typical management practices don't work for my work environment. But fortunately some of them do work and they work very well. Being in the military, most military members don't have the traditional jobs, work schedules, and working environment. When deployed I can work up to 18 hours days up to 7 days a week. Working such grueling scheduling it takes remarkable leadership and management skills to keep individuals in my work environment working steadily and keep morale at optimal levels. Within the military one of the most important theories in management is the Behavioral Management Theory. The Behavioral Management Theory works well within the military because it emphasizes understanding of human behavior at work, such as motivation, conflict, expectations, and group dynamics, improved productivity. In the military, especially during times of war it is crucial to understand human emotions and behaviors. For example, in the Navy we are literally a floating city with in excess of 4,000 Sailors and Marines.

Before I begin analysing its use today it`s important to first establish what Scientific Management means. It is defined concisely in the business dictionary as "an early 20th century school of management thought concerned primarily with the physical efficiency of an individual worker" that "emphasises the rationalization and standardisation of work through the division of labour, time and motion studies, work measurement and piece rate wages" (businessdictionary.com,2014) The four overriding principles of scientific management are that: After intense scientific ...

The late 18th/ early 19th century was a particularly interesting time with respect to industry. Most small undeveloped ones were mostly localised while the larger, more profitable industries had begun to make use of economies of scale and scope, some of the most notable being the Standard Oil Trust led by John D. Rockefeller and Ford Motor Company in the US and Bayer in Germany. (Alfred D. Chandler, 1990) The world had begun to open up to international trade and it was upon business owners and managers to decide how they wanted to expand with exports growing continuously (International Trade Statistics, 1962, Pgs 51 & 52). The chance was there for management who were willing to take a risk and invest to take control of their respective markets. The business world was changing and it needed smart managers to steer it the right way. That was why in 1911 when the news broke in America of a style of management that would to exponentially increase efficiency that the whole world caught on with Ueno YoAichi bringing it as far as Japan in 1912 (Tsutsui,1998).

Corporate Culture, as defined by Daft and Samson (2015, p. 112), is the common code of conduct, philosophies and suppositions shared between members within an organisation that encompasses the entirety of it. All organisations have a prevalentculture that can be characterised as either stable or flexible, concentrating either on its internal or external workings as described by Cameron and Quinn's (1999, cited in Yazici 2011, p. 21) Competing Values Model (CVM) of culture. This essay will critically evaluate the chosen article's theory that a company's culture and success is determined by the attitudes exhibited by its top leaders, rather than the national culture. It will do so by analysing examples of leaders' behaviours, the national culture of a country and the effect of culture on an organisation. The leadership behaviours of corporation leaders can affect its culture by influencing the members of the corporation from top–down. Culture is taught to employees by those in experienced managerial positions; so regularly practised that it becomes the norm, and is then emulated by new employees who continue the behavioural patterns (Hellriegel et al. 2004, cited in Mishra & Raykundaliya 2011, p. 87; Kruger 2003, cited in Mishra & Raykundaliya 2011, p. 87).

"Are your employees focused, motivated, organized and driven?" "What goals have been established for your employees?" These are a few of the many questions I asked to multiple managers within the company that I work for. Being a relatively new employee, working there for a little over a year, I wanted to ask these questions. Not to see how different managers felt about specific employees, but to get an overall view of how their jobs as managers directly affected each and everyone 's job performance. Management is a science of how an individual works with a group of people, oversees their performance, and tries to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They have to always be aware of what 's going on so that they can make the adjustments that are required. This is a continual process that stays intact for as long as the goals are being implemented. Once the goals have changed, the four pillars of goal setting for a manager must be reshaped. With goals set forth and employees on the move it is important once again to do some investigating. We already looked at ways managers go through their goal setting process. Let 's now enter into the realm of how the employee motivates themselves in their goal setting adventure. It is said that many top performers have one thing in common; they set clear, actionable goals and stay focused on them. While most people understand the importance of goals, the most effective take an extra step of writing down their goals and steps to achieve them. This is important because, ultimately, reflecting on why they hope to achieve their goals, rather than simply knowing what their goals are, is what motivates them to pursue their given goals. Take a page from the top–performer playbook and create your own SMART goals. The letters can stand for various words, but one popular interpretation is: S = Specific M = Measurable A = Attainable R = Relevant T = Time –Bound A simple yet effective way of setting and monitoring goals is by using the SMART goal structure. The SMART goal structure is a proven method to create a goal that is reasonable and easy

  • 17. The Principles Of Scientific Management Although published over a century ago, Frederick Winslow Taylor's renowned work The Principles of Scientific Management set forth a theory that to this day is subjected to a similar degree of critique and debate to that in the early 20th century. While Taylor's ideas were evidently influenced by the works of earlier researchers, it is he who is credited as the "father" of the scientific management movement (Jeacle, 2004, p. 1164). As such, scientific management itself is synonymous with Taylor to the extent that it is commonly referred to as "Taylorism." Nevertheless, this view can be misleading – key principles of the theory are generally perceived as applicable only in the manufacturing sector where Taylor's research was directed, whereas in reality they can be applied quite effectively to the service sector. While the model is plagued by flaws in both industries, it can nevertheless still be regarded as a valuable framework for managing organisations and their human resources. Although it has attracted a great deal of criticism, Taylor's thesis can be regarded as an effective management approach in the sector it is has historically been implemented in; that is, the manufacturing sector.

It is important to notice that these principles are now interpreted in a different way for effective managers of large service–based organizations and high–tech companies as they have adapted some of these existing ideas into a more contemporary management framework (Rodrigues, 2001). This phenomenon happened because the work required for completing a task require less manual labor and more knowledge work, therefore the principles developed in the early 1916 had become less effective.

The Administrative Principles of Management The administrative principles of management, created in the early 20th century by French industrialist Henri Fayol, changed the way that many view management. Fayol's principles focused mainly on the management teams of businesses and helped establish a top to bottom hierarchal system to produce a more structured organization (Brunsson, 2008; Yoo, Lemak, & Choi, 2008; Fells, 2000).

Although it has been adapted from Fayol's original idea, subordination of individual interest of general interest, it is still present in Pumpkin Patch Ltd. In a company that is downsizing, and even when it is not, Esprit de Corp is a principle that plays a major factor in contemporary organizations today. Esprit de Corp is when a business creates, and maintains, employee harmony, unity and morale (Fells, 2000; Rodrigues, 2001). This allows for a happy working environment, and a happy employee means that they are more likely to achieve productivity and efficiency outcomes. Pumpkin Patch Ltd. has adapted this to fit their family environment that they feel the company has (Pumpkin Patch Limited, n.d.). The company believes in a balance between work, leisure and flexibility as well as providing an in–house kindergarten for employees' children (Pumpkin Patch Limited, n.d). This, although fairly minor, is a prime example of how contemporary businesses have adapted one of the founding principles of management and adapted it to fit their organization. As well as this Pumpkin Patch have organized their business into teams such as the information technology (IT) team and the design team who are an integral part of the organization in helping attain their goals and aims ( Brookes, et al., 2008).

Scientific management involves the application of psychological science to guide worker selection, training, and evaluation (Short, 2011; Zuffo, 2011). Other key elements of the rational choice approach include setting goals and establishing mechanisms to collect feedback, ensuring better customer relationship management through improved quality and processes (Salimath & Jones, 2011), increasing productivity, and reducing waste (Short, 2011). Efficiency is at the core of scientific management theory, and greater efficiency is achieved through a focus on optimising time and motion (Bell & Martin, 2012), while employee motivation is promoted by tying compensation to productivity (Edmans, 2012). Contributions of scientific management span a number of areas, including job design and analysis, selection of workers, development of incentive and motivation systems, creation of performance criteria and evaluation systems, influencing employee attitudes, facilitating group processes, managing organisational change and development, and addressing human factors within an organisation (Bell & Martin, 2012).

Its main objective was improving economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It was one of the earliest attempts to apply science to the engineering of processes and to management. Its development began with Frederick Winslow Taylor in the 1880s and 1890s within the manufacturing industries. Taylor was an American mechanical engineer and amanagement consultant in his later years. He is often called "The Father of Scientific Management."

This principle created by Taylor does replace the old rule–of–thumb method. The scientific selection, training and development of the workers, whereas in the past he chose his own work and trained him as best he could. Co–operation with the workers to ensure work is carried out in the prescribed way which has been developed. The division of work and responsibility between management and the workers. The management takes over all work for which they are better fitted than the workmen, while in the past almost all of the work and the greater part of the responsibility were thrown upon the men. These principles were implemented in many factories, often increasing productivity. Henry ford applied Taylor's principles in his automobile factories.

  • 31. The Principles Of Scientific Management Management has been present in human society dating back to Sumerian temples and the building of the pyramids. However, it was not until early 1900s that the practice of management was given theoretic approaches. Five key management theories have been developed since then: scientific management, structural approach, human relations, systems approach, and contingency. Each approach was developed and influenced by the time period making a significant impact even on today's modern management principles. Taylorism, the principles or practice of scientific management, was introduced by a devout Quaker and a mechanical engineer, Frederick Taylor, whose main focus was how a business could survive. In his essay The Principles of Scientific Management, Taylor writes "the principal object of management should be to secure the maximum prosperity for the employer, coupled with the maximum prosperity for each employee" (1911). The application of science management came at a time when scientific discovery and natural science was branching off and most work was still manual. It took the personalization out of the employer–employee relationship and brought together a productive partnership between management and labour. Time and motion study assessed the output a normal worker could achieve at normal speed for a given time. Rationality, objectiveness, analyticity, and science were the keys to the methodology behind the scientific management theory leading to a more measureable approach ...

  • 32. Fayol's Management Principles Introduction The management and organisations discipline considers Henry Fayol (1841 – 1925) to be one of the early practitioners of management who recognised principles and theories of management. Indeed, current students, teachers and practitioners find Fayol's management principles to be of interest. This is especially the case since numerous management authors (Bose, 2013: Lamond, 2005: Lewis, 2007) have the common belief that Fayol's effort founded the elementary framework and principles for management theory currently being applied. Fayol dedicated a lot of time to endorsing the theory of administration and throughout this time argued that all business activities precipitate undertakings which are classified into six groups: financial, commercial, technical, accounting security, and management (Lamond, 2005). While focusing on the management aspect, Fayol considered it to be a systematic arrangement and integration of the financial, accounting, production, and sales functions of the organisation. Hence, the purpose of Fayol's management theory was a way of establishing management as a different aspect from other technical activities, however, important to the integration of various organisational activities in order to realise a common objective. In that respect, Parker & Ritson, 2005 posit that Fayol's management principles offered and continue to offer an overall management outlook for practising managers as well as an instructional manual for academicians in the management discipline. The objective of this report is to therefore critically discuss Fayol's perspectives through an analysis of these views as well as other ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

When I was answering the strengths section of the self SWOT, I thought others mentioned generosity, listening and thoughtfulness.

The people reporting to the top boss form the second level of people in the organization structure. Each of the persons at the second level may have one or more persons reporting to him or her. Thus people at second level report to their manager and supervisor and, in turn, other employees report to them. Employee at third level of organization may have other employees reporting to them. In this way an organization may have several levels, at the lowest level are employee who report to their boss, but no one reports to them. In this kind of organization a person is related to other persons in the organization only in the direct reporting relationship of subordinate and supervisor. In a line organization a person receives orders and instructions only from his boss. Similarly a person is authorised to instruct and direct only the persons reporting directly to him or her.

The junior managers are likely to spend their time doing an operational job, however do not know if it is their exact role; therefore, depending on it and the size of the unit, a greater or lesser proportion of their time will be spent on supervision, training and involvement with others managers in the organization. To follow and do exactly what they should, they need to keep up to date by attend training sessions or on a quality assurance committee or have regular briefing meetings with their line manager.

  • 47. The Principles Of Scientific Management Although retiring at 45, Frederick Taylor continued to promote his principles through lectures at universities as professional societies, leading to his election as president of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1906. That year he was also given an honorary science degree from the University of Pennsylvania. During his presidency he wrote many books documenting his methods for maximum production, including "Notes on Belting", "Piece–rate System", and his bestselling book "The Principles of Scientific Management." He would argue that the most basic of jobs could be planned in a way to increase productivity, and that initiative and incentive did little in comparison to his scientific method. Taylor would argue that incentivizing and putting performance based pay on the worker didn't guarantee that worker operating to the best of their abilities. "In the past man has been first. In the future the System will be first," predicted Frederick Winslow Taylor, the first efficiency expert and model for all the stopwatch–clicking engineers who stalk the factories and offices of the industrial world. Taylor influenced Ford 's assembly line, and was known to be a driving factor in Lenin 's Soviet Russia. A known management expert Peter Drucker believed Taylor could be held in the same conversation as both Freud and Darwin as an innovator of the modern world. His ceaseless quest for "the one best way" changed the very texture of twentieth–century life. Many innovators of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This also leads to decisions being made more effective and more efficiency. Employees will love this management style in business because they feel involved and a part of the process. Their performance may be rather than in an authoritarian setting, while give them the power to do the work could lead to some rely on other to bear the brunt of the work on the project. Also, it depending on what type of work, employees may feel like the work is being pushed down on them because as a manager you don't want to do it. Furthermore, when employees are making decisions, this can improve their sense of worth, self–esteem and motivates them to perform better.

  • 51. The Principles Of Scientific Management The concept of scientific management was first introduced in the book The Principles of Scientific Management, by F.W. Taylor (1911), eventually forming the concept of the frequently used management technique referred to as Taylorism. This concept revolved around three prime objectives. Taylorism focuses on the achievement of efficiency – by maximizing output per worker through training in scientific methods to establish the "one best way of executing each motion" (Katia Caldari, 2007); to create direct control of the manufacturing process, by clearly implementing a hierarchical authority; and lastly predictability, through the standardization of tasks by the notion of division of labour (Huczynski, A., & Buchanan, D., 2013). Taylor strongly believed in rationalism, the theory that reason forms the basis of knowledge – and his studies, such as the the Time and Motion Studies conducted at Bethlehem Steel (Taylor, 1991), led him to believe that the most rational approach to achieving the maximization of productivity in a business, would be through the incorporation of these three concepts (Huczynski, A., & Buchanan, D., 2013). However, even though these concepts are arguably advantageous for secondary sector businesses, Taylorism largely ignores the importance certain psychological factors, for instance those emphasized by Frederick Herzberg's Two Factor Theory or the Them vs. Us mentality. Such psychological factors, according to the Iceberg model (Figure 1), form the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Otherwise, if I'm not organized, they won't be organized out on the job and in the office." Pillar three, direct is next. This is where the manager simply flips on the switch and turns on the lights for the employees. They are given the goals that have been established for them and have been released. It is now up to the employees to take the information that they were given and effectively and efficiently perform their duties to the best of their abilities.
