Basic Concepts of Management
• Elements Of Management
• Levels Of Management & Their Respective Functions. Management
• External Environment
• The Social Responsibility of Manager.
• Professionalism in Management.
Origin of the word Management
Manager- Italian word- maneggiare
Mesnagement (later menagement )- French word
Additional Key Concepts
 Managers are the people responsible for supervising the use of an organization‘s
resources to meet its goals.
 Resources are organizational assets and include:
• People,
• Machinery,
• Raw materials,
• Information, skills,
• Financial capital.
DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT
Henry Fayol says, ―To manage is to forecast and plan, to organise, to direct, to
co-ordinate and to control.‖
F. W. Tailor, ―Management is an art of knowing what you want to do and then
seeing that it is done in the best and the cheapest way.‖
Management
Management is a process of working with and through others to achieve
organizational objectives in a changing environment. Central to this process is the
effective and efficient use of limited resources.
Efficiency versus Effectiveness
ELEMENTS OF MANAGEMENT

knowledge.
NATURE OF MANAGEMENT PROCESS
-Levels of Management
KINDS OF MANAGERS BY LEVEL
Top management: consists of board of directors and chief executives. Broadly it
performs the following functions:
 To analyze and interpret changes in management
 To establish long term corporate plans
 To formulate and approve master budget and departmental budgets.
 To design broad organization structure
Intermediate management: comprises of departmental and divisional heads e.g.
marketing manager. Its broad functions include:
 Accountable for the performance of his division
 He coordinates and controls the activities of all personnel working in different
branches or sections of his particular department.
Lower level management: consists of supervisors,foremen,sales officers. Its
functions include:
 Planning day to day production within the goals laid down
 To assign jobs to workers
 Ordering an instructing
 Advising and assisting workers by explaining work procedures.
FUNDAMENTAL MANAGEMENT SKILLS
 Technical
– Skills necessary to accomplish or understand the specific kind of work
being done in an organization.
 Interpersonal
– The ability to communicate with, understand, and motivate both individuals
and groups.
 Conceptual
– The manager‘s ability to think in the abstract and to see the ―big picture.‖
To perceive how all the parts fit together.
Managerial Roles
 Described by Mintzberg.
– A role is a set of specific tasks a person performs because of the position
they hold.
 Roles are directed inside as well as outside the organization.
 There are 3 broad role categories:
1. Interpersonal
2. Informational
3. Decisional
Interpersonal Roles
 Roles managers assume to coordinate and interact with employees and provide
direction to the organization.

environment.
– Disseminator role: manager transmits information to influence attitudes
and behavior of employees.
– Spokesperson role: use of information to positively influence the way
people in and out of the organization respond to it.
Decisional Roles
 Associated with the methods managers use to plan strategy and utilize resources
to achieve goals.
– Entrepreneur role: deciding upon new projects or programs to initiate and
invest.
– Disturbance handler role: assume responsibility for handling an
unexpected event or crisis.

FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR
―Father of Modern Management‖
 In 1895- proposed a Piece Rate System:
– Observe & Analyze – set the ―standard‖ for job
(use Time and Motion studies)
– Pay workers for meeting/exceeding standard
– Pay individual worker – not everyone, or group/department, or the ―job‖ =
pay according to individual value to business
What Adam Smith had done for markets, Taylor does for the firm – place wealth
creation squarely on the individual worker who is managed, rewarded for effort.
 Biography: Wealthy Philadelphia Quaker family. Worked in hydraulics factory as
laborer/foreman/chief engineer
 At 25 earned college degree in engineering
 At 35- consultant: introduced functional foreman, production planning, differential
pay= cut costs/increased production)
 1905 – wrote Shop Management
 1909-14: Lecturer at Harvard
 Management consultant – US Navy and Army
 1911- Wrote Scientific Management
 ―Soldiering‖ – people don‘t always try/work hard. WHY?
 If we work hard and complete the job – no more work next day; fewer workers
needed!
 SO what is the amount of time needed to do the job?
 How should it be performed – ―One Best Way‖
 What is the standard?
F.W. TAYLOR AND SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Scientific Management
The systematic study of the relationships between people and tasks for the purpose of
redesigning the work process to increase efficiency.
Four Principles of Scientific Management
1) Study the way workers perform their tasks, gather all the informal job knowledge that
workers possess and experiment with ways of improving how tasks are performed
• Time-and-motion study
2) Codify the new methods of performing tasks into written rules and standard operating
procedures
3) Carefully select workers who possess skills and abilities that match the needs of the
task, and train them to perform the task according to the established rules and
procedures
4) Establish a fair or acceptable level of performance for a task, and then develop a pay
system that provides a reward for performance above the acceptable level
Problems with Scientific Management
 Managers frequently implemented only the increased output side of Taylor‘s
plan.
– Workers did not share in the increased output.
 Specialized jobs became very boring, dull.
– Workers ended up distrusting the Scientific Management method.
 Workers could purposely ―under-perform.‖
– Management responded with increased use of machines and conveyors
belts.
FAYOL’S PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
 Division of Labor: allows for job specialization.
– Jobs can have too much specialization leading to poor quality and worker
dissatisfaction.
 Authority and Responsibility - Both formal and informal authority resulting from
special expertise.
 Unity of Command - Employees should have only one boss.
 Line of Authority - A clear chain of command from top to bottom of the firm.
 Centralization - The degree to which authority rests at the top of the organization.
 Unity of Direction - A single plan of action to guide the organization.
 Equity - The provision of justice and the fair and impartial treatment of all
employees.
 Order - The arrangement of employees where they will be of the most value to
the organization and to provide career opportunities.
 Initiative - The fostering (development) of creativity and innovation by
encouraging employees to act on their own.
 Discipline - Obedient, applied, respectful employees are necessary for the
organization to function.
 Remuneration of Personnel - An equitable uniform payment system that
motivates contributes to organizational success.
 Stability of Tenure of Personnel - Long-term employment is important for the
development of skills that improve the organization‘s performance.
 Subordination of Individual Interest to the Common Interest - The interest of the
organization takes precedence over that of the individual employee.
 Esprit de corps - Comradeship (Company, friendship), shared enthusiasm foster
(shared) devotion to the common cause (organization).
THE HAWTHORNE STUDIES: NEW DIRECTION
The ―Hawthorne Experiments‖ were a series of studies into worker productivity
performed at the Cicero plant beginning in 1924 and ceasing in 1932, initially conducted
by the National Research Council and later by Western Electric and Harvard University
Illumination Studies, 1924 -1927: Does Use of Electric Lights Increase Productivity?
Hypothesis: Increased illumination is correlated with higher productivity.
Finding: No relationship―Hawthorne effect‖ or "halo effect― – Researcheraffects outcome
(bias)
2nd
Hawthorne Experiment
Relay Assembly Test Room Experiments, 1927-1929 Harvard research team set
up experiment with 5 females from Relay Assembly area to test impact of incentives
and work conditions on worker fatigue
There is no conclusive evidence that these affected fatigue or productivity.Productivity
and workersatisfaction increase whenconditions are improvedand made worse.
3rd
Hawthorne Experiment
 Mica-Splitting Test group, 1928 – 1930 Relationship between work conditions
and productivity, by maintaining a piece-rate incentive system and varying work
conditions
 Productivity increased by about 15% and researchers concluded that productivity
was affected by non-pay considerations
 Conclusion: social dynamics were the basisof worker performance.
Hawthorne Interviews
 Plant-wide Interview program, 1928-1931
1. Western Electric implemented a plant-widesurvey of employees to record their
concerns and grievances. From 1928 to 1930, 21,000 employees were interviewed.
 2. Data supported the research conclusion that work improved when supervisors
began to pay attention to employees, that work takes place in a social context in
which work and non-work considerations are important, norms and groups matter
to workers.
Hawthorne: Final Experiment
 Bank Wiring Observation group, 1931-1932
– The final test studying 14 male workers in the Bank Wiring factory to study
the dynamics of the group when incentive pay was introduced.
There was no effect. Why?
Work group established a work ―norm‖ – a sharedexpectation about how much work
should beperformed in a day and stuck to it, regardless ofpay.
 The conclusion: informal groups operate in the work environment to manage
behavior.
Hawthorne Experiments – Importance
 Changed perspective in management from Taylor‘s engineering approach to a
social sciences approach, leading to "Human Relations" approach and, later,
"Organization Behavior" approach:
 Engineering approach subordinated to social sciences
 Managers = leaders, motivators, communicators
 At one time major contributors to Management theory worked on Hawthorne
experiments.
 Elton Mayo - ―Human Relations‖ approach (to 1950‘s). Mayo‘s viewslead to the
construction of manageras a leader.

FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT VERSUS LEADERSHIP
WHAT SKILLS DO MANAGERS NEED? (KATZ 1955)
Too often managers over-rely on interpersonal skills. However, careers in management
depend heavily on the managers‘ technical skills and especially on the managers
conceptual skills.
PLANNING
DEFINITION
―Planning involves selecting mission and objectives and the actions to achieve them; it
requires decision-making that is, choosing from alternative courses of action.‖
- Heinz and Koontz
―A plan is a trap laid to capture.‖
-Allen
Planning is the process of bridging the gap between where we are and where we want
to be in the future.
Thinking before doing is planning.
Nature Of Planning
Characteristics Of Planning
• Goal- oriented
• An intellectual or Rational process
• A primary function
• Pervasive (Strong/Single minded, Determined, Persistent)
• Forward looking
• A perpetual (unending) process
• An integrated process
• Involves choice
Planning Process
Types of Planning
Plans based on organizational levels
Making Planning Effective
 Linked to long-term objectives
 Direction for action
 Consistent
 Feasible
 Simplicity
 Flexible
ORGANIZING
 Organizing is a function in which the synchronization and combination of human,
physical and financial resources takes place. All the three resources are
important to get results.
DEFINITION
 According to Chester Barnard, ―Organizing is a function by which the concern is
able to define the role positions, the jobs related and the co- ordination between
authority and responsibility. Hence, a manager always has to organize in order to
get results.
 Organizing is a technical function; it means establishing authority and
responsibility relationships, and formal structure and reporting relationships.
Organizing focuses on grouping activities and resources in a logical manner,
including the division of work and job design, work methods and processes,
coordination among units, and the use of information and feedback systems.
• Organizingis establishing the internal organizational structure of the organization.
The focus is on division, coordination, and control of tasks and the flow of
information within the organization. It is in this function that managers distribute
authority to job holders.
• Organizing establishes relationships between activity and authority.
Importance
 Specialization
 Well defined jobs
 Clarifies authority
 Co- ordination
 Effective administration
 Growth and Diversification
 Sense of security
 Scope for new changes
The various steps involved in this process
 Determination of Objectives
 Enumeration (list) of Objectives
 Classification of Activities
 Assignment of Duties
 Delegation of Authority
Determination of Objectives
 It is the first step in building up an organization. Organization is always related to
certain objectives.
 Determination of objectives will consist in deciding as to why the proposed
organization is to be set up
 Enumeration (List) of ObjectivesThe first step in organizing group effort is the
division of the total job into essential activities. Each job should be properly
classified and grouped.
 For example, the work of an industrial concern may be divided into the following
major functions – production, financing, personnel, sales, purchase, etc.
Classification of Activities
 Activities according to similarities and common purposes and functions and
taking the human and material resources into account. Then, closely related and
similar activities are grouped into divisions and departments and the
departmental activities are further divided into sections.
Assignment of Duties
 Here, specific job assignments are made to different subordinates for ensuring a
certainty of work performance. Each individual should be given a specific job to
do according to his ability and made responsible for that.
Delegation of Authority
 Authority without responsibility is a dangerous thing and similarly responsibility
without authority is an empty vessel. Everybody should clearly know to whom he
is accountable; corresponding to the responsibility authority is delegated to the
subordinates for enabling them to show work performance.
ORGANISATION
Introduction
 Organization involves division of work among people whose efforts must be co-
ordinate to achieve specific objectives
Definition OfOrganisation
McFerland has defined organization as, "an identifiable group of people contributing
their efforts towards the attainment of goals".
Mooney and Railey, "Organization is the form of every human association for the
attainment of a common purpose.‖
OrganisationAs A Process
Organization is the process of establishing relationship among the members of the
enterprise. The relationships are created in terms of authority and responsibility.
Principles OfOrganisation
 Consideration of unity of objectives
 Specialization
 Co-ordination
 Clear unbroken line of Authority
 Responsibility
 Efficiency
 Delegation
 Unity of Command:
 Span of Management:
 Communication
 Flexibility
Organisation Structure
 An organization structure shows the authority and responsibility relationships
between the various positions in the organization by showing who reports to
whom. Organization involves establishing an appropriate structure for the goal
seeking activities. It is an established pattern of relationship among the
components of the organization.
Formal And Informal Organisation
 Formal Organization:
 -"a system of consciously coordinated activities or forces of two or more persons.
It refers to the structure of well-defined jobs, each bearing a definite measure of
authority, responsibility and accountability."
Characteristic Features of formal organization
 Laid down by the top management
 Formal organization prescribes the relationships
 Concentrates on the jobs to be performed
 Individuals are fitted into jobs
 Is bound by rules, regulations and procedures.
 authority, responsibility and accountability of each level are clearly defined.
 division of labor and specialization to achieve efficiency in operations.
 coordination proceeds according to the prescribed pattern.
Advantages of formal organization
 on the jobs to be performed.
 everybody responsible for a given task.
 bound by rules, regulations and procedures.
 people of the organization to work together
Disadvantages or criticisms of formal organization
 does not consider the goals of the individuals.
 bound by rigid rules, regulations and procedures. This makes the achievement of
goals difficult.
Informal Organization
an informal organization is an organization which is not established by any formal
authority, but arises from the personal and social relations of the people.
Characteristics features of informal organization
 It is unplanned
 Reflects human relationships.
 It is not based on rules,
 Informal organizations are based on common taste, problem, language,
Benefits of Informal organization
 It is more effective.
 Many things which cannot be achieved through formal organization can be
achieved
 It provides social satisfaction to group members.
 Job satisfaction.
 The best means of employee communication.
 It serves as an agency for social control of human behavior.
Differences Between Formal and Informal Organization
Formal Organization:
 Formal organization is established with the explicit aim of achieving well-defined
goals.
 The social and psychological needs and interests of members of the
organizationget little attention.
 In formal organization, much emphasis is placed on efficiency, discipline,
conformity, consistency and control.
 The roles and relationships of people in formal organization are impersonally
defined
 Is bound together by authority relationships among members.
Informal Organization:
 Informal organization springs on its own. Its goals are ill defined andIntangible.
 Is characterized by a generalized sort of power relationships.
 In informal organization the relationships among people are interpersonal.
 Is characterized by relative freedom, spontaneity, homeliness and warmth.
 The socio psychological needs, interests and aspirations of members get
priority.
Organisational Structures
Why Have a Structure?
 All businesses have to organise
what they do
 A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does what
 There are many ways
to structure a business
Some Key Terms
 Flat or tall structure
 Span of control
 Chain of command
 Hierarchy
 Delegation
 Empowerment (Authority)
Ways to Structure a Business
 By Function: arranging the business according to what each section
or department does
 By Product or Activity: organising according to the different products made
 By Area: geographical or regional structure
 By Customer: where different customer groups have different needs
 By Process: where products have to go through stages as they are made
 What are the advantages/disadvantages of different types of business structure?
Pros and Cons of Different Structures
 This depends on the business type, size and structure used
 Let‘s look at a functional structure:
Functional Structure
Organisation By Product/Activity
An Example of Organisation by Product/Activity
Organisation By Area
Hewlett-Packard‘s Headquarters Worldwide
Other Organisational Structures
 By Customer:Similar effects to structuring by product
 By Process:Similar to structuring by function
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES
Flat Structure Organisation
 In contrast to a tall organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few layers
or just one layer of management. This means that the ―Chain of Command‖ from
top to bottom is short and the ―span of control is wide‖. Due to the small number
of management layers, flat organisations are often small organisations.
Flat Structure
Advantages of flat Organisations
 More/Greater communication between management and workers
 Better team sprit
 Less bureaucracy and easier decision making.
 Fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs as
managers are generally paid more than worker.
Disadvantages of flat Organisations
 Workers may have more than one manager/boss.
 May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation.
 Structure limited to small organisations such as partnerships, co-operatives and
some private limited companies.
 Function of each department/person could be blurred and merge into the job
roles of others.
Tall Structure Organisation
 In its simplest form a tall organisation has many levels of management and
supervision. There is a ―long chain of command‖ running from the top of the
organisationeg Chief Executive down to the bottom of the organisationeg shop
floor worker.
Tall Structure
Advantages of tall Organisations
 There is a narrow span of control ie each manager has a small number of
employees under their control. This means that employees can be closely
supervised
 There is a clear management structure
 The function of each layer will be clear and distinct. There will be clear lines of
responsibility and control.
 Clear progression and promotion ladder
 Disadvantages of tall OrganisationsThe freedom and responsibility of employees
(subordinates) is restricted
 Decision making could be slowed down as approval may be needed by each of
the layers of authority.
 Communication has to take place through many layers of management.
 High management costs because managers are generally paid more than
subordinates. Each layer will tend to pay it‘s managers more money than the
layer below it.
Matrix (or project-based) organisations
 A Matrix structure organisation contains teams of people created from various
sections of the business. These teams will be created for the purposes of a
specific project and will be led by a project manager. Often the team will only
exist for the duration of the project and matrix structures are usually deployed to
develop new products and services.
Advantages of matrix
 Individuals can be chosen according to the needs of the project.
 The use of a project team which is dynamic and able to view problems in a
different way as specialists have been brought together in a new environment.
 Project managers are directly responsible for completing the project within a
specific deadline and budget.
Disadvantages
 A conflict of loyalty between line managers and project managers over the
allocation of resources.
 If teams have a lot of independence can be difficult to monitor.
 Costs can be increased if more managers (ie project managers) are created
through the use of project teams
Matrix Structure
IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATION
 Facilitates Administration
 Facilitates Growth and Diversification
 Provides for Optimum use of Technological Improvements
 Encourages Human use of Human Beings
 Stimulates Creativity
 Facilitates stability of the organisation
 Reduces Employee Turnover
 Reduces Duplication of Activities
 Fosters Coordination
 Facilitates Administration
 A properly designed and balanced organization facilitates both management and
operation of the enterprise. It increases management's efficiency and
promptness, avoids delay and duplication of work and motivates the employee to
perform their job efficiently.
Facilitates Growth and Diversification
 The organization structure should provide for expansion and diversification of the
enterprise otherwise, the enterprise will find itself in a serious administrative
crisis.
Provides for Optimum use of Technological Improvements
 A sound organization structure facilitates the optimum use of technological
improvements like computer systems etc.
Encourages Human use of Human Beings
 A sound organization provides for efficient selection, training and development of
staff, job rotation and job enlargement. The organization structure can profoundly
affect the people of the company. Proper organization facilitates the intensive
use of human capital.
 Stimulates Creativityorganization provides sufficient freedom to the managers
and encourages their initiative, independent thinking and creativity.
Facilitates stability of the organization
 By ensuring delegation of authority, two-way communication, co-operation,
effectiveleadership, employee morale and flexibility to adjust to changes in the
conditions, a soundorganization facilitates stability of the organization.
Reduces Employee Turnover
 Organization increases employee satisfaction, ensures better relations between
the management and the workers, and thereby reduces employee turnover.
Reduces Duplication of Activities
 Organisation avoids delay and duplication of activities and consequent confusion
by ensuring well-defined responsibilities and authority.
Fosters Coordination
 By providing the framework for holding together the various functions in an
orderlypattern, organization fosters co-ordination.
ORGANISATION CHARTS AND MANUALS
Organization chart: The pattern of network of relations between the various positions
in an organization as well as between the persons who hold those positions is
referred to as "Organization chart".
 In the word of J Batty, "An organization chart is a diagrammatic representation of
the framework or structure of an organization."
The organization chart has the following characteristics:
 It is a diagrammatical presentation
 l It shows principal lines of authority in the organization
It shows the interplay of various functions and relationships
 l It indicates the channels of communication.
Advantages of Organization Chart
 It gives a clear picture of the organization structure.
 It shows at a glance the lines of authority and responsibility.
 to avoid misunderstanding of jurisdictional problems
 outsiders can easily know the persons whom
 they have to approach in connection with their work.
 to avoid overlapping and duplication of authority and secure unity of command.
 what extra training is required for promotion to a higher position.
Types of Organization Chart
An organization chart can be drawn in different forms. They are:
 Top-to-down chart or vertical chart
 Left-to-right chart or Horizontal chart
 Circular chart.
Top-to-down chart or vertical chart:
 Most organizations use this type of chart which presents the different levels of
organization in the form of a pyramid with senior executive at the top of the chart
and successive levels of management depicted vertically below that
Left-to-right or Horizontal Chart:
Horizontal charts which read from left to right areoccasionally used.
 The pyramid lies horizontally instead of standing in the vertical position.The line
of command proceeds horizontally from left to right showing top level at the left
and each successive level extending to the right.
Circular Chart:
In this chart, top positions are located in the centre of the concentric circle. Positions of
successive echelons extend in all directions outward from the centre.
Positions of equal status lie at the same distance from the centre on the same
concentric circle
MEANING OF ORGANIZATION MANUAL
 An organization may prepare a Manual or Management Guide. Manual sets
down in the form of a book or booklet all the details of the organization.
Good organization manual has the following contents.
1.Nature of the enterprise
2. Objectives of the enterprise
3. Policies of the management
4. Job Descriptions
5. Duties and responsibilities of various personnel
6. Instructions relating to the performance of standard as well as non-standard jobs.
Types of Manuals
 Policy Manuals:
 Operations Manual:
 Organization Manual:
 Departmental Practice Manual:
 Rules and Regulations Manual:
Policy Manuals:
 It describes the overall limitations within which activities are to take place and
thus reveals the broad courses of managerial action likely to take place under
certain conditions.
Operations Manual:
 It is prepared to inform the employees of established methods, procedures and
standards of doing the various kinds of work.
 Departmental Practice Manual:
 It deals in detail with the internal policies,organization and procedures of one
department.
Organization Manual:
 It explains the organization, the duties and responsibilities of various
departments, and their respective sub-divisions.
 Rules and Regulations Manual: It gives information about the operating rulesand
employment regulations. It is a handbook of employment rules.
Advantages of Manuals
 1. It contains in writing all-important decisions relating to internal organization of
theenterprise.
2. It avoids conflicts and overlapping of authority.
3. It enables new employees to know the various procedure and practice in the shortest
possible time.
4. It enables quick decisions.
5. It contains rules and regulations which employees must follow.
Disadvantages of Manual
 1. The preparation of manual is costly and time consuming and process.
 2. Manuals leave little scope of individual's initiative and direction.
 3. Manuals bring rigidity to the organization.
 4. Manuals may put on record those relationships which no one would like to see
exposed.
Staffing
• Staffing is filling and keeping filled with qualified people all positions in the
business. Recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating and compensating are the
specific activities included in the function.
• Staffing success is having the "right person" in a position, rather than simply
filling a position.
Directing
• Directingis influencing people's behavior through motivation, communication,
group dynamics, leadership and discipline. The purpose of directing is to channel
the behavior of all personnel to accomplish the organization's mission and
objectives while simultaneously helping them accomplish their own career
objectives.
One important category of directing
• Motivation covers up ability and skill deficiencies in employees.
• The most effective motivation for employees comes from within each employee -
self-motivation.
• Highly motivated people perform better than unmotivated people.
Controlling
• Controlling - The final function of management
• Controlling is a five-step process of establishing performance standards based
on the firm's objectives, measuring and reporting actual performance, comparing
the two, and taking corrective or preventive action as necessary.
• The basic purpose of controlling is to determine how successful the planning
function has been.
OBJECTIVES
• ―Objectives are the goals, aims or purposes that organizations wish to achieve
over varying periods of time.‖
• ―Objective is a term commonly used to indicate the end point of a management
program.‖
Organizational Hierarchy Types of Objectives
Board of Directors and Top Level
Managers
Socio-economic purpose
Mission
In all Key Areas
Middle-Level Managers Divisional Objectives
Departmental Objectives
Lower-Level Managers Department and Unit
Objectives for Subordinates
• Performance goal
• Development goals
Nature Of Objectives
- Hierarchy of Objectives
- The process of formulating objectives and the organizational hierarchy
- A network of objectives
- Multiplicity of objectives
Advantages of objectives
- Unified planning
- Individual motivation
- Co-ordination
- Control
- Basis for Decentralization
MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
- Peter Drucker in his 1954 book 'The Practice of Management'.
- The essence of MBO is participative goal setting, choosing course of actions and
decision making. An important part of the MBO is the measurement and the
comparison of the employee‘s actual performance with the standards set. Ideally,
when employees themselves have been involved with the goal setting and the
choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfill
their responsibilities.
Management by objectives (MBO) is a systematic and organized approach that allows
management to focus on achievable goals and to attain the best possible results from
available resources.
THE GILBRETHS
1. Break up and analyze every individual action necessary to perform a particular
task into each of its component actions
2. Find better ways to perform each component action
3. Reorganize each of the component actions so that the action as a whole could be
performed more efficiently-at less cost in time and effort
Administrative Management Theory
Administrative Management
– The study of how to create an organizational structure that leads to high
efficiency and effectiveness.
Max Weber
– Developed the principles of bureaucracy as a formal system of organization
and administration designed to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
Weber’s Principles of Bureaucracy
1) A manager‘s formal authority derives from the position he holds in the
organization.
2) People should occupy positions because of their performance, not because of
their social standing or personal contacts.
3) The extent of each position‘s formal authority and task responsibilities and it‘s
relationship to other positions should be clearly specified.
4) Authority can be exercised effectively when positions are arranged hierarchically,
so employees know whom to report to and who reports to them.
5) Managers must create a well-defined system of rules, standard operating
procedures,
and norms so they can effectively control behavior .
RULES, SOPS AND NORMS
Rules–
Formal written instructions that specify actions to be taken under different
circumstances to achieve specific goals
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) –
Specific sets of written instructions about how to perform a certain aspect of a
task
Norms –
Unwritten, informal codes of conduct that prescribe how people should act in
particular situations
FAYOL’S PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
 Division of Labor: allows for job specialization. - Jobs can have too much
specialization leading to poor quality and worker dissatisfaction.
 Authority and Responsibility - Both formal and informal authority resulting from
special expertise.
 Unity of CommandEsprit de corps - Comradeship, shared enthusiasm foster
devotion to the common cause (organization).
Behavioral Management Theory
Behavioral Management
 The study of how managers should personally behave to motivate employees
and encourage them to perform at high levels and be committed to the
achievement of organizational goals.
Mary Parker Follett
 Concerned that Taylor ignored the human side of the organization
 Suggested workers help in analyzing their jobs
 If workers have relevant knowledge of the task, then they should control the task
 Studies of how characteristics of the work setting affected worker fatigue and
performance at the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company from
1924-1932.
 The Hawthorne StudiesWorker productivity was measured at various levels of
light illumination.
 Researchers found that regardless of whether the light levels were raised or
lowered, worker productivity increased.
Human Relations Implications
 Hawthorne effect — workers‘ attitudes toward their managers affect the level of
workers‘ performance
 Human relations movement – advocates that supervisors be behaviorally trained
to manage subordinates in ways that elicit their cooperation and increase their
productivity
Implications
 Behavior of managers and workers in the work setting is as important in
explaining the level of performance as the technical aspects of the task
 Demonstrated the importance of understanding how the feelings, thoughts, and
behavior of work-group members and managers affect performance
 Theory X and Theory YDouglas McGregor proposed the two different sets of
assumptions about workers.
 Theory X assumes the average worker is lazy, dislikes work and will do as little
as possible.
 Workers have little ambition and wish to avoid responsibility
 Managers must closely supervise and control through reward and punishment.
 Theory Y assumes workers are not lazy, want to do a good job and the job itself
will determine if the worker likes the work.
 Managers should allow workers greater latitude (liberty), and create an
organization to stimulate the workers.
 Theory X vs. Theory Y
Management Science TheoryContemporary approach to management that
focuses on the use of rigorous quantitative techniques to help managers make
maximum use of
organizational resources to produce goods and services.
 Quantitative management — utilizes linear and nonlinear programming,
modeling, simulation, queuing theory and chaos theory.
 Operations management —techniques used to analyze any aspect of the
organization‘s production system.
 Total Quality Management (TQM) —focuses on analyzing input, conversion,
and output activities to increase product quality.
 Management Information Systems (MIS)— provides information vital for
effective decision making.
Organizational Environment
The set of forces and conditions that operate beyond an organization‘s boundaries
but affect a manager‘s ability to acquire and utilize resources
 The Open-Systems View
– Employees should have only one boss.
 Line of Authority - A clear chain of command from top to bottom of the firm.
 Centralization - The degree to which authority rests at the top of the organization.
 Unity of Direction - A single plan of action to guide the organization.
 Equity - The provision of justice and the fair and impartial treatment of all
employees.
 Order - The arrangement of employees where they will be of the most value to
the organization and to provide career opportunities.
 Initiative - The fostering of creativity and innovation by encouraging employees to
act on their own.
 Discipline - Obedient, applied, respectful employees are necessary for the
organization to function.
 Remuneration of Personnel - An equitable uniform payment system that
motivates contributes to organizational success.
 Stability of Tenure of Personnel - Long-term employment is important for the
development of skills that improve the organization‘s performance.
 Subordination of Individual Interest to the Common Interest - The interest of the
organization takes precedence over that of the individual employee.
 Esprit de corps - Comradeship, shared enthusiasm foster devotion to the
common cause (organization).

Organizational Environment –
The set of forces and conditions that operate beyond an organization‘s boundaries
but affect a manager‘s ability to acquire and utilize resources
The Open-Systems View
Open System
– A system that takes resources for its external environment and transforms
them into goods and services that are then sent back to that environment
where they are bought by customers.
– Inputs: the acquisition of external resources to produce goods and
services
– Conversion: transforms the inputs into outputs of finished goods and
services.
– Output: the release of finished goods and services to its external
environment.
Closed System
 A self-contained system that is not affected by changes in its external
environment.
 Likely to experience entropy and lose its ability to control itself
Systems
 Synergy – the performance gains that result from the combined actions of
individuals and departments
– Possible only in
an organized system
Contingency Theory
 ―There is no one best way to organize‖
 The idea that the organizational structures and control systems manager choose
depend on—are contingent on—characteristics of the external environment in
which the organization operates.
Type of Structure
Mechanistic Structure
– Authority is centralized at the top.
– Emphasis is on strict discipline and order
– Employees are closely monitored and managed.
– Can be very efficient in a stable environment.
Organic Structure
– Authority is decentralized throughout the organization.
– Departments are encouraged to take a cross-departmental or functional
perspective
– Works best when environment is unstable and rapidly changing
CONTROLLING
– Knootz and O‘Donnel, ―Controlling is the measurement of accomplishment
against the standards and the correction of deviations to assure attainment of
objectives according to plans.‖
– Standards
– Performance
– Deviations
– Controlling

(projecting past trends), indexation (using base year as basis), and
statistical analysis (central tendency measure)
 Work Load Analysis: It is dependent upon the nature of work load in a
department, in a branch or in a division.
 Work Force Analysis: Whenever production and time period has to be
analyzed, due allowances have to be made for getting net manpower
requirements.
 Other methods: Several Mathematical models, with the aid of computers
are used to forecast manpower needs, like budget and planning analysis,
regression, new venture analysis.
Developing employment programs

INTRODUCTION TO MARKETING
Understanding Marketing Management
‗Marketing is the human activity directed at satisfying human needs and wants through
an exchange process‘

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES
Why Have a Structure?
 All businesses have to organise
what they do
 A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does
what
 There are many ways
to structure a business
Some Key Terms
 Flat or tall structure
 Span of control
 Chain of command
 Hierarchy
 Delegation
 Empowerment (Authority)
Ways to Structure a Business
 By Function: arranging the business according to what each section
or department does
 By Product or Activity: organising according to the different products
made
 By Area: geographical or regional structure
 By Customer: where different customer groups have different needs
 By Process: where products have to go through stages as they are made
 What are the advantages/disadvantages of different types of business
structure?
Pros and Cons of Different Structures
 This depends on the business type, size and structure used
 Let’s look at a functional structure:
Functional Structure
Advantages
 Specialisation – each department focuses on its own work
 Accountability – someone is responsible for the section
 Clarity – know your and others’ roles
Disadvantages
 Closed communication could lead to lack
of focus
 Departments can become resistant
to change
 Coordination
may take too long
 Gap between top and bottom
Organisation by Product/Activity
Organisation by Product/Activity
Advantages
 Clear focus on market segment helps meet customers’ needs
 Positive competition between divisions
 Better control as each division can act as separate profit centre
Disadvantages
 Duplication of functions (e.g. different sales force for each division)
 Negative effects of competition
 Lack of central control over each separate division
Organisation by Area
Hewlett-Packard’s Headquarters Worldwide
Advantages
 Serve local needs better
 Positive competition
 More effective communication between firm and local customers
Disadvantages
 Conflict between local and central management
 Duplication of resources and functions
Other Organisational Structures
 By Customer:
Similar effects to structuring
by product
 By Process:
Similar to structuring by function
Organisational Structures
 Flat Structure Organisation
 In contrast to a tall organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few
layers or just one layer of management. This means that the “Chain of
Command” from top to bottom is short and the “span of control is wide”.
Due to the small number of management layers, flat organisations are often
small organisations.
Flat Structure
Advantages of flat Organisations
 More/Greater communication between management and workers
 Better team sprit
 Less bureaucracy and easier decision making.
 Fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs
as managers are generally paid more than worker.
Disadvantages of flat Organisations
 Workers may have more than one manager/boss.
 May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation.
 Structure limited to small organisations such as partnerships, co-
operatives and some private limited companies.
 Function of each department/person could be blurred and merge into the
job roles of others.
Tall Structure Organisation
 In its simplest form a tall organisation has many levels of management and
supervision. There is a “long chain of command” running from the top of
the organisation eg Chief Executive down to the bottom of the organisation
eg shop floor worker.
Advantages of tall Organisations
 There is a narrow span of control ie each manager has a small number of
employees under their control. This means that employees can be closely
supervised
 There is a clear management structure
 The function of each layer will be clear and distinct. There will be clear
lines of responsibility and control.
 Clear progression and promotion ladder
Disadvantages of tall Organisations
 The freedom and responsibility of employees (subordinates) is restricted
 Decision making could be slowed down as approval may be needed by
each of the layers of authority.
 Communication has to take place through many layers of management.
 High management costs because managers are generally paid more than
subordinates. Each layer will tend to pay it’s managers more money than
the layer below it.
Matrix ( or project-based) organisations
 A Matrix structure organisation contains teams of people created from
various sections of the business. These teams will be created for the
purposes of a specific project and will be led by a project manager. Often
the team will only exist for the duration of the project and matrix structures
are usually deployed to develop new products and services.
 Advantages of matrixIndividuals can be chosen according to the needs of
the project.
 The use of a project team which is dynamic and able to view problems in a
different way as specialists have been brought together in a new
environment.
 Project managers are directly responsible for completing the project within
a specific deadline and budget.
 DisadvantagesA conflict of loyalty between line managers and project
managers over the allocation of resources.
 If teams have a lot of independence can be difficult to monitor.
 Costs can be increased if more managers (ie project managers) are created
through the use of project teams

THE MARKETING RESEARCH
Uses of Marketing Research
Key Point
 To practice marketing; to implement the marketing concepts; to implement
marketing strategy, managers must make decisions.

needed in order to supply that information.
We need Marketing Research to:
 Make the ―right‖ decisions to

 Make the right decisions to select the right marketing strategy
Research Objective
 Precise
 Detailed
 Clear
 Operational
The Iceberg Principle
What is Marketing Research? (Burns and Bush Definition)
 Marketing research is the process of designing, gathering, analyzing, and
reporting information that may be used to solve a specific marketing
problem.
What is Marketing Research? AMA definition
 Marketing research: the function that links the consumer, customer, and
public to the marketer through information – information used to identify
and define marketing opportunities and problems; generate, refine, and
evaluate marketing actions; monitor marketing performance; and improve
the understanding of marketing as a process.
Market Research vs. Marketing Research
 Market research: the “systematic gathering, recording, and analyzing of
data with respect to a particular market, where ‘market’ refers to a specific
group in a specific geographic area.”

A marketing plan outlines the specific actions you intend to carry out to interest
potential customers and clients in your product and/or service and persuade
them to buy the product and/or services you offer.
For successful business marketing, you need to develop a proper business
marketing plan, and then gauge its performance for your business growth. There
are many things that your business marketing plan needs to address and these
points may include some of the following:
• -What are your business marketing goals?
• -What is your target audience?
• -Deciding business marketing system
SWOT Analysis
 A basic marketing plan begins with SWOT analysis about your company
and the SWOT should be :
 A summary of the key elements in your business
 Brief, concise and interesting, without being too abbreviated
 Focused on the real issues facing your company
 Action-oriented, so that positive proposals can be envisaged
 Strengths- You can bank upon these.
 Weaknesses- Definitely need to be corrected
 Opportunities- Help you in setting the target where you want to reach.
 Threats- Make necessary contingency plan to combat threats which would
automatically become a part of the marketing plan.
Classifying Marketing Research Studies
 Generating, refining, and evaluating potential marketing actions
 Proposed marketing-mix evaluation testing
 New-product prototype testing
 Advertising pretesting…see Insight Express AdInsight ad pretesting…
 Monitoring marketing performance
 Image analysis…bank image analysis
 Tracking studies...sales, market shares of all brands in our category
 Customer satisfaction studies
 Improving marketing as a process
 The purpose of these studies is to expand knowledge (basic research) of
marketing as a process rather than to solve a specific problem facing a
company…How does background music affect perceptions of
products…How preshopping information affects product
returns…Understanding cultural differences in consumer impatience…all
in Journal of Marketing.
 Identifying Target Market
 Identifying Market Characteristics
 Measurement of Marketing Potential
 Competitors Analysis
 Sales Analysis
 Identify and forecast Business Trends
 Sales Forecasting
 New Product/Service Acceptance and Potential
 Long Range Forecasting of Marketing Mix Variables
 Pricing Strategies and Studies
 How to collect certain information about your customers, market and competitors.
This information tells you about your potential market, prices, trends, competition,
target customer, its preferences, income, habits, accessibility, convenient time
and plans. This information should be accurate, and reliable to help you make
the right business decision.
 Step One : Defining the Purpose or Objectives
 Ask people what they think of the product or service and collect
some background demographics & attitudes of these individuals.
 How much potential customers would be willing to pay for the
product or service.
 Where potential customers would prefer to purchase the product or
service.
 Where the customer would expect to hear about or learn about
such a product or service.
 Step Two: Gathering Data from Secondary Sources
 Data that already exists i.e information from
 Trade magazines
 Libraries
 Government Agencies
 Universities
 Internet
 The entrepreneur should exhaust all possible secondary data sources,
observation, and networking before beginning any more costly primary data
research.
 Step Three: Gathering Information from Primary Sources
 Information that is new is Primary data and involves data collection
procedures like
 Observation
 Networking
 Interviewing
 Focus Groups
 Experimentation
 Data collection is done with the help of Data Instruments like Questionnaire.
 FOCUS Groups: They are more informal method of gathering in-depth
information. A focus group is a sample of 10-12 potential customers who are
invited to participate in a discussion relating to the Entrepreneurs‘ research
objectives.
 Step Four: Analyzing & Interpreting the results
The results should be evaluated and interpreted in response to the research
objectives. The data can then be cross tabulated to give better insights and
interpretations regarding the segmentation of the market.
Input into a Marketing Information System
Marketing Information Systems
Gather data from inside and outside the organization
Process and store the data
Make information available to everyone in the organization
Allow employees to request additional information from the system
Informal vs. Formal Marketing Research
The Marketing Research Process

Marketing Plan- The Algorithm
 Defining the Business Situation – Describe the past and present business
achievements of the new venture.
 Defining the Target market –
 Market Segmentation- Dividing a market into definable and measurable
groups for the purpose of targeting market strategy.
Market Segmentation- The process of segmenting & targeting the market should
process in the following way
 Decide what general market or industry you wish to pursue
 Divide the market into smaller groups based on
 Characteristics of the customer
 Geographic
 Demographic
 Psychographic
 Buying situation
 Desired benefits (e.g. Product features)
 Usage (e.g. frequency of usage)
 Buying conditions (e.g. time available & product purpose)
 Awareness of buying intention (e.g. familiarity of product &
willingness to buy)
 Select segment or segments to Target
 Develop a marketing plan integrating product, price, distribution & promotion
(together called THE MARKETING MIX)
 Considering the Strengths and Weaknesses – The SWOT analysis which was
discussed earlier.
 Establishing Goals & Objectives – Asking oneself ―Where do we want to go?‖ in
terms of Market share, profits, sales, market penetration, new products launching
etc. All such goals n objectives should be quantifiable and could be measured for
control purposes.
 Defining Marketing Strategy – Outline all the activities needed to meet the
venture‘s business plan goals & objectives.
 The 5-P’s
 In the marketing plan, you should endeavor to follow best practice to maximize
your competitive advantage in each of the following key areas:
Product – packaging, the brand name, warranty, image, service, delivery time,
features, style etc.
Price – Pricing of a product or service has to be done very carefully considering
numerous things like quality, prospective demand, margins, competitor‘s prices,
discounts, market segmentation etc..
Promotion – The promotion plan itself a mini-marketing plan. Advertising is an effective
as well as an expensive way & has to be taken care of. The procedure to be followed
includes :
• Set specific campaign objectives (building sales, market share)
• Decide your strategy (budget, media choice, geographical profile)
• Target the Audience (market segment, demographic profile)
• Decide the advertising content (specific product/service benefits to
highlight)
• Decide the execution and style
Place (Distribution Plan)- The distribution plan must match the other elements of the
Marketing MIX to maintain the differentiation and focus of the Company.
If your product is of highest quality, with price & promotion to match, it must be available
in the major quality stores.
The choice of distribution channel, therefore can make an important contribution to both
your company differentiation & to reaching your target group of customers.
People – The final ingredient in the marketing plan jigsaw must be quality salespeople
who can consistently maintain your marketing differentiation.
A well remunerated & motivated staff will act as enthusiastic sales promoters and act as
eyes and ears of the company in the competitive market place.
 Coordination of the planning process
 Designating responsibility for implementation
 Budgeting the Marketing Strategy
 Implementation of the Market Plan
 Monitoring Progress of Market Actions
 Lack of a real plan (particularly regarding goals & objectives)
 Inadequate situational analysis – There is no point in deciding where you want to
go if you do not know ―where you are?” and ―where you have been?‖
 Lack of Goal Clarity and Unrealistic Goals – This generally happens due to lack
of understanding of the situation.
 Unexpected competitive moves, product deficiencies, Delay in Getting Finance,
and acts of God.

  • 10. FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR ―Father of Modern Management‖  In 1895- proposed a Piece Rate System: – Observe & Analyze – set the ―standard‖ for job (use Time and Motion studies) – Pay workers for meeting/exceeding standard – Pay individual worker – not everyone, or group/department, or the ―job‖ = pay according to individual value to business What Adam Smith had done for markets, Taylor does for the firm – place wealth creation squarely on the individual worker who is managed, rewarded for effort.  Biography: Wealthy Philadelphia Quaker family. Worked in hydraulics factory as laborer/foreman/chief engineer  At 25 earned college degree in engineering  At 35- consultant: introduced functional foreman, production planning, differential pay= cut costs/increased production)  1905 – wrote Shop Management  1909-14: Lecturer at Harvard  Management consultant – US Navy and Army  1911- Wrote Scientific Management  ―Soldiering‖ – people don‘t always try/work hard. WHY?  If we work hard and complete the job – no more work next day; fewer workers needed!  SO what is the amount of time needed to do the job?  How should it be performed – ―One Best Way‖  What is the standard?
  • 11. F.W. TAYLOR AND SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT Scientific Management The systematic study of the relationships between people and tasks for the purpose of redesigning the work process to increase efficiency. Four Principles of Scientific Management 1) Study the way workers perform their tasks, gather all the informal job knowledge that workers possess and experiment with ways of improving how tasks are performed • Time-and-motion study 2) Codify the new methods of performing tasks into written rules and standard operating procedures 3) Carefully select workers who possess skills and abilities that match the needs of the task, and train them to perform the task according to the established rules and procedures 4) Establish a fair or acceptable level of performance for a task, and then develop a pay system that provides a reward for performance above the acceptable level Problems with Scientific Management  Managers frequently implemented only the increased output side of Taylor‘s plan. – Workers did not share in the increased output.  Specialized jobs became very boring, dull. – Workers ended up distrusting the Scientific Management method.  Workers could purposely ―under-perform.‖ – Management responded with increased use of machines and conveyors belts.
  • 12. FAYOL’S PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT  Division of Labor: allows for job specialization. – Jobs can have too much specialization leading to poor quality and worker dissatisfaction.  Authority and Responsibility - Both formal and informal authority resulting from special expertise.  Unity of Command - Employees should have only one boss.  Line of Authority - A clear chain of command from top to bottom of the firm.  Centralization - The degree to which authority rests at the top of the organization.  Unity of Direction - A single plan of action to guide the organization.  Equity - The provision of justice and the fair and impartial treatment of all employees.  Order - The arrangement of employees where they will be of the most value to the organization and to provide career opportunities.  Initiative - The fostering (development) of creativity and innovation by encouraging employees to act on their own.  Discipline - Obedient, applied, respectful employees are necessary for the organization to function.  Remuneration of Personnel - An equitable uniform payment system that motivates contributes to organizational success.  Stability of Tenure of Personnel - Long-term employment is important for the development of skills that improve the organization‘s performance.  Subordination of Individual Interest to the Common Interest - The interest of the organization takes precedence over that of the individual employee.  Esprit de corps - Comradeship (Company, friendship), shared enthusiasm foster (shared) devotion to the common cause (organization). THE HAWTHORNE STUDIES: NEW DIRECTION The ―Hawthorne Experiments‖ were a series of studies into worker productivity performed at the Cicero plant beginning in 1924 and ceasing in 1932, initially conducted by the National Research Council and later by Western Electric and Harvard University
  • 13. Illumination Studies, 1924 -1927: Does Use of Electric Lights Increase Productivity? Hypothesis: Increased illumination is correlated with higher productivity. Finding: No relationship―Hawthorne effect‖ or "halo effect― – Researcheraffects outcome (bias) 2nd Hawthorne Experiment Relay Assembly Test Room Experiments, 1927-1929 Harvard research team set up experiment with 5 females from Relay Assembly area to test impact of incentives and work conditions on worker fatigue There is no conclusive evidence that these affected fatigue or productivity.Productivity and workersatisfaction increase whenconditions are improvedand made worse. 3rd Hawthorne Experiment  Mica-Splitting Test group, 1928 – 1930 Relationship between work conditions and productivity, by maintaining a piece-rate incentive system and varying work conditions  Productivity increased by about 15% and researchers concluded that productivity was affected by non-pay considerations  Conclusion: social dynamics were the basisof worker performance. Hawthorne Interviews  Plant-wide Interview program, 1928-1931 1. Western Electric implemented a plant-widesurvey of employees to record their concerns and grievances. From 1928 to 1930, 21,000 employees were interviewed.  2. Data supported the research conclusion that work improved when supervisors began to pay attention to employees, that work takes place in a social context in which work and non-work considerations are important, norms and groups matter to workers. Hawthorne: Final Experiment  Bank Wiring Observation group, 1931-1932 – The final test studying 14 male workers in the Bank Wiring factory to study the dynamics of the group when incentive pay was introduced. There was no effect. Why?
  • 14. Work group established a work ―norm‖ – a sharedexpectation about how much work should beperformed in a day and stuck to it, regardless ofpay.  The conclusion: informal groups operate in the work environment to manage behavior. Hawthorne Experiments – Importance  Changed perspective in management from Taylor‘s engineering approach to a social sciences approach, leading to "Human Relations" approach and, later, "Organization Behavior" approach:  Engineering approach subordinated to social sciences  Managers = leaders, motivators, communicators  At one time major contributors to Management theory worked on Hawthorne experiments.  Elton Mayo - ―Human Relations‖ approach (to 1950‘s). Mayo‘s viewslead to the construction of manageras a leader.

  • 18. WHAT SKILLS DO MANAGERS NEED? (KATZ 1955) Too often managers over-rely on interpersonal skills. However, careers in management depend heavily on the managers‘ technical skills and especially on the managers conceptual skills. PLANNING DEFINITION ―Planning involves selecting mission and objectives and the actions to achieve them; it requires decision-making that is, choosing from alternative courses of action.‖ - Heinz and Koontz ―A plan is a trap laid to capture.‖ -Allen Planning is the process of bridging the gap between where we are and where we want to be in the future. Thinking before doing is planning. Nature Of Planning
  • 19. Characteristics Of Planning • Goal- oriented • An intellectual or Rational process • A primary function • Pervasive (Strong/Single minded, Determined, Persistent) • Forward looking • A perpetual (unending) process • An integrated process • Involves choice Planning Process
  • 20. Types of Planning Plans based on organizational levels Making Planning Effective  Linked to long-term objectives  Direction for action  Consistent  Feasible  Simplicity  Flexible ORGANIZING  Organizing is a function in which the synchronization and combination of human, physical and financial resources takes place. All the three resources are important to get results. DEFINITION
  • 21.  According to Chester Barnard, ―Organizing is a function by which the concern is able to define the role positions, the jobs related and the co- ordination between authority and responsibility. Hence, a manager always has to organize in order to get results.  Organizing is a technical function; it means establishing authority and responsibility relationships, and formal structure and reporting relationships. Organizing focuses on grouping activities and resources in a logical manner, including the division of work and job design, work methods and processes, coordination among units, and the use of information and feedback systems. • Organizingis establishing the internal organizational structure of the organization. The focus is on division, coordination, and control of tasks and the flow of information within the organization. It is in this function that managers distribute authority to job holders. • Organizing establishes relationships between activity and authority. Importance  Specialization  Well defined jobs  Clarifies authority  Co- ordination  Effective administration  Growth and Diversification  Sense of security  Scope for new changes The various steps involved in this process  Determination of Objectives  Enumeration (list) of Objectives  Classification of Activities  Assignment of Duties
  • 22.  Delegation of Authority Determination of Objectives  It is the first step in building up an organization. Organization is always related to certain objectives.  Determination of objectives will consist in deciding as to why the proposed organization is to be set up  Enumeration (List) of ObjectivesThe first step in organizing group effort is the division of the total job into essential activities. Each job should be properly classified and grouped.  For example, the work of an industrial concern may be divided into the following major functions – production, financing, personnel, sales, purchase, etc. Classification of Activities  Activities according to similarities and common purposes and functions and taking the human and material resources into account. Then, closely related and similar activities are grouped into divisions and departments and the departmental activities are further divided into sections. Assignment of Duties  Here, specific job assignments are made to different subordinates for ensuring a certainty of work performance. Each individual should be given a specific job to do according to his ability and made responsible for that. Delegation of Authority  Authority without responsibility is a dangerous thing and similarly responsibility without authority is an empty vessel. Everybody should clearly know to whom he is accountable; corresponding to the responsibility authority is delegated to the subordinates for enabling them to show work performance. ORGANISATION Introduction  Organization involves division of work among people whose efforts must be co- ordinate to achieve specific objectives Definition OfOrganisation
  • 23. McFerland has defined organization as, "an identifiable group of people contributing their efforts towards the attainment of goals". Mooney and Railey, "Organization is the form of every human association for the attainment of a common purpose.‖ OrganisationAs A Process Organization is the process of establishing relationship among the members of the enterprise. The relationships are created in terms of authority and responsibility. Principles OfOrganisation  Consideration of unity of objectives  Specialization  Co-ordination  Clear unbroken line of Authority  Responsibility  Efficiency  Delegation  Unity of Command:  Span of Management:  Communication  Flexibility Organisation Structure  An organization structure shows the authority and responsibility relationships between the various positions in the organization by showing who reports to whom. Organization involves establishing an appropriate structure for the goal seeking activities. It is an established pattern of relationship among the components of the organization. Formal And Informal Organisation  Formal Organization:
  • 24.  -"a system of consciously coordinated activities or forces of two or more persons. It refers to the structure of well-defined jobs, each bearing a definite measure of authority, responsibility and accountability." Characteristic Features of formal organization  Laid down by the top management  Formal organization prescribes the relationships  Concentrates on the jobs to be performed  Individuals are fitted into jobs  Is bound by rules, regulations and procedures.  authority, responsibility and accountability of each level are clearly defined.  division of labor and specialization to achieve efficiency in operations.  coordination proceeds according to the prescribed pattern. Advantages of formal organization  on the jobs to be performed.  everybody responsible for a given task.  bound by rules, regulations and procedures.  people of the organization to work together Disadvantages or criticisms of formal organization  does not consider the goals of the individuals.  bound by rigid rules, regulations and procedures. This makes the achievement of goals difficult. Informal Organization an informal organization is an organization which is not established by any formal authority, but arises from the personal and social relations of the people. Characteristics features of informal organization  It is unplanned  Reflects human relationships.
  • 25.  It is not based on rules,  Informal organizations are based on common taste, problem, language, Benefits of Informal organization  It is more effective.  Many things which cannot be achieved through formal organization can be achieved  It provides social satisfaction to group members.  Job satisfaction.  The best means of employee communication.  It serves as an agency for social control of human behavior. Differences Between Formal and Informal Organization Formal Organization:  Formal organization is established with the explicit aim of achieving well-defined goals.  The social and psychological needs and interests of members of the organizationget little attention.  In formal organization, much emphasis is placed on efficiency, discipline, conformity, consistency and control.  The roles and relationships of people in formal organization are impersonally defined  Is bound together by authority relationships among members. Informal Organization:  Informal organization springs on its own. Its goals are ill defined andIntangible.  Is characterized by a generalized sort of power relationships.  In informal organization the relationships among people are interpersonal.  Is characterized by relative freedom, spontaneity, homeliness and warmth.
  • 26.  The socio psychological needs, interests and aspirations of members get priority. Organisational Structures Why Have a Structure?  All businesses have to organise what they do  A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does what  There are many ways to structure a business Some Key Terms  Flat or tall structure  Span of control  Chain of command  Hierarchy  Delegation  Empowerment (Authority) Ways to Structure a Business  By Function: arranging the business according to what each section or department does  By Product or Activity: organising according to the different products made  By Area: geographical or regional structure  By Customer: where different customer groups have different needs  By Process: where products have to go through stages as they are made  What are the advantages/disadvantages of different types of business structure? Pros and Cons of Different Structures  This depends on the business type, size and structure used  Let‘s look at a functional structure:
  • 27. Functional Structure Organisation By Product/Activity An Example of Organisation by Product/Activity
  • 29. Other Organisational Structures  By Customer:Similar effects to structuring by product  By Process:Similar to structuring by function
  • 30. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES Flat Structure Organisation  In contrast to a tall organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few layers or just one layer of management. This means that the ―Chain of Command‖ from top to bottom is short and the ―span of control is wide‖. Due to the small number of management layers, flat organisations are often small organisations. Flat Structure Advantages of flat Organisations  More/Greater communication between management and workers  Better team sprit  Less bureaucracy and easier decision making.  Fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs as managers are generally paid more than worker. Disadvantages of flat Organisations  Workers may have more than one manager/boss.  May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation.  Structure limited to small organisations such as partnerships, co-operatives and some private limited companies.
  • 31.  Function of each department/person could be blurred and merge into the job roles of others. Tall Structure Organisation  In its simplest form a tall organisation has many levels of management and supervision. There is a ―long chain of command‖ running from the top of the organisationeg Chief Executive down to the bottom of the organisationeg shop floor worker. Tall Structure Advantages of tall Organisations  There is a narrow span of control ie each manager has a small number of employees under their control. This means that employees can be closely supervised  There is a clear management structure  The function of each layer will be clear and distinct. There will be clear lines of responsibility and control.
  • 32.  Clear progression and promotion ladder  Disadvantages of tall OrganisationsThe freedom and responsibility of employees (subordinates) is restricted  Decision making could be slowed down as approval may be needed by each of the layers of authority.  Communication has to take place through many layers of management.  High management costs because managers are generally paid more than subordinates. Each layer will tend to pay it‘s managers more money than the layer below it. Matrix (or project-based) organisations  A Matrix structure organisation contains teams of people created from various sections of the business. These teams will be created for the purposes of a specific project and will be led by a project manager. Often the team will only exist for the duration of the project and matrix structures are usually deployed to develop new products and services. Advantages of matrix  Individuals can be chosen according to the needs of the project.  The use of a project team which is dynamic and able to view problems in a different way as specialists have been brought together in a new environment.  Project managers are directly responsible for completing the project within a specific deadline and budget. Disadvantages  A conflict of loyalty between line managers and project managers over the allocation of resources.  If teams have a lot of independence can be difficult to monitor.  Costs can be increased if more managers (ie project managers) are created through the use of project teams
  • 33. Matrix Structure IMPORTANCE OF ORGANISATION  Facilitates Administration  Facilitates Growth and Diversification  Provides for Optimum use of Technological Improvements  Encourages Human use of Human Beings  Stimulates Creativity  Facilitates stability of the organisation  Reduces Employee Turnover  Reduces Duplication of Activities  Fosters Coordination  Facilitates Administration  A properly designed and balanced organization facilitates both management and operation of the enterprise. It increases management's efficiency and
  • 34. promptness, avoids delay and duplication of work and motivates the employee to perform their job efficiently. Facilitates Growth and Diversification  The organization structure should provide for expansion and diversification of the enterprise otherwise, the enterprise will find itself in a serious administrative crisis. Provides for Optimum use of Technological Improvements  A sound organization structure facilitates the optimum use of technological improvements like computer systems etc. Encourages Human use of Human Beings  A sound organization provides for efficient selection, training and development of staff, job rotation and job enlargement. The organization structure can profoundly affect the people of the company. Proper organization facilitates the intensive use of human capital.  Stimulates Creativityorganization provides sufficient freedom to the managers and encourages their initiative, independent thinking and creativity. Facilitates stability of the organization  By ensuring delegation of authority, two-way communication, co-operation, effectiveleadership, employee morale and flexibility to adjust to changes in the conditions, a soundorganization facilitates stability of the organization. Reduces Employee Turnover  Organization increases employee satisfaction, ensures better relations between the management and the workers, and thereby reduces employee turnover. Reduces Duplication of Activities  Organisation avoids delay and duplication of activities and consequent confusion by ensuring well-defined responsibilities and authority. Fosters Coordination  By providing the framework for holding together the various functions in an orderlypattern, organization fosters co-ordination.
  • 35. ORGANISATION CHARTS AND MANUALS Organization chart: The pattern of network of relations between the various positions in an organization as well as between the persons who hold those positions is referred to as "Organization chart".  In the word of J Batty, "An organization chart is a diagrammatic representation of the framework or structure of an organization." The organization chart has the following characteristics:  It is a diagrammatical presentation  l It shows principal lines of authority in the organization It shows the interplay of various functions and relationships  l It indicates the channels of communication. Advantages of Organization Chart  It gives a clear picture of the organization structure.  It shows at a glance the lines of authority and responsibility.  to avoid misunderstanding of jurisdictional problems  outsiders can easily know the persons whom  they have to approach in connection with their work.  to avoid overlapping and duplication of authority and secure unity of command.  what extra training is required for promotion to a higher position. Types of Organization Chart An organization chart can be drawn in different forms. They are:  Top-to-down chart or vertical chart  Left-to-right chart or Horizontal chart  Circular chart.
  • 36. Top-to-down chart or vertical chart:  Most organizations use this type of chart which presents the different levels of organization in the form of a pyramid with senior executive at the top of the chart and successive levels of management depicted vertically below that Left-to-right or Horizontal Chart: Horizontal charts which read from left to right areoccasionally used.  The pyramid lies horizontally instead of standing in the vertical position.The line of command proceeds horizontally from left to right showing top level at the left and each successive level extending to the right. Circular Chart: In this chart, top positions are located in the centre of the concentric circle. Positions of successive echelons extend in all directions outward from the centre. Positions of equal status lie at the same distance from the centre on the same concentric circle MEANING OF ORGANIZATION MANUAL  An organization may prepare a Manual or Management Guide. Manual sets down in the form of a book or booklet all the details of the organization. Good organization manual has the following contents. 1.Nature of the enterprise 2. Objectives of the enterprise 3. Policies of the management 4. Job Descriptions 5. Duties and responsibilities of various personnel 6. Instructions relating to the performance of standard as well as non-standard jobs. Types of Manuals  Policy Manuals:
  • 37.  Operations Manual:  Organization Manual:  Departmental Practice Manual:  Rules and Regulations Manual: Policy Manuals:  It describes the overall limitations within which activities are to take place and thus reveals the broad courses of managerial action likely to take place under certain conditions. Operations Manual:  It is prepared to inform the employees of established methods, procedures and standards of doing the various kinds of work.  Departmental Practice Manual:  It deals in detail with the internal policies,organization and procedures of one department. Organization Manual:  It explains the organization, the duties and responsibilities of various departments, and their respective sub-divisions.  Rules and Regulations Manual: It gives information about the operating rulesand employment regulations. It is a handbook of employment rules. Advantages of Manuals  1. It contains in writing all-important decisions relating to internal organization of theenterprise. 2. It avoids conflicts and overlapping of authority. 3. It enables new employees to know the various procedure and practice in the shortest possible time. 4. It enables quick decisions. 5. It contains rules and regulations which employees must follow. Disadvantages of Manual
  • 38.  1. The preparation of manual is costly and time consuming and process.  2. Manuals leave little scope of individual's initiative and direction.  3. Manuals bring rigidity to the organization.  4. Manuals may put on record those relationships which no one would like to see exposed. Staffing • Staffing is filling and keeping filled with qualified people all positions in the business. Recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating and compensating are the specific activities included in the function. • Staffing success is having the "right person" in a position, rather than simply filling a position. Directing • Directingis influencing people's behavior through motivation, communication, group dynamics, leadership and discipline. The purpose of directing is to channel the behavior of all personnel to accomplish the organization's mission and objectives while simultaneously helping them accomplish their own career objectives. One important category of directing • Motivation covers up ability and skill deficiencies in employees. • The most effective motivation for employees comes from within each employee - self-motivation. • Highly motivated people perform better than unmotivated people. Controlling • Controlling - The final function of management • Controlling is a five-step process of establishing performance standards based on the firm's objectives, measuring and reporting actual performance, comparing the two, and taking corrective or preventive action as necessary. • The basic purpose of controlling is to determine how successful the planning function has been.

OBJECTIVES • ―Objectives are the goals, aims or purposes that organizations wish to achieve over varying periods of time.‖ • ―Objective is a term commonly used to indicate the end point of a management program.‖ Organizational Hierarchy Types of Objectives Board of Directors and Top Level Managers Socio-economic purpose Mission In all Key Areas Middle-Level Managers Divisional Objectives Departmental Objectives Lower-Level Managers Department and Unit Objectives for Subordinates • Performance goal • Development goals Nature Of Objectives - Hierarchy of Objectives - The process of formulating objectives and the organizational hierarchy - A network of objectives - Multiplicity of objectives Advantages of objectives
  • 40. - Unified planning - Individual motivation - Co-ordination - Control - Basis for Decentralization MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES - Peter Drucker in his 1954 book 'The Practice of Management'. - The essence of MBO is participative goal setting, choosing course of actions and decision making. An important part of the MBO is the measurement and the comparison of the employee‘s actual performance with the standards set. Ideally, when employees themselves have been involved with the goal setting and the choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfill their responsibilities. Management by objectives (MBO) is a systematic and organized approach that allows management to focus on achievable goals and to attain the best possible results from available resources. THE GILBRETHS 1. Break up and analyze every individual action necessary to perform a particular task into each of its component actions 2. Find better ways to perform each component action 3. Reorganize each of the component actions so that the action as a whole could be performed more efficiently-at less cost in time and effort Administrative Management Theory Administrative Management – The study of how to create an organizational structure that leads to high efficiency and effectiveness. Max Weber – Developed the principles of bureaucracy as a formal system of organization and administration designed to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
  • 41. Weber’s Principles of Bureaucracy 1) A manager‘s formal authority derives from the position he holds in the organization. 2) People should occupy positions because of their performance, not because of their social standing or personal contacts. 3) The extent of each position‘s formal authority and task responsibilities and it‘s relationship to other positions should be clearly specified. 4) Authority can be exercised effectively when positions are arranged hierarchically, so employees know whom to report to and who reports to them. 5) Managers must create a well-defined system of rules, standard operating procedures, and norms so they can effectively control behavior .
  • 42. RULES, SOPS AND NORMS Rules– Formal written instructions that specify actions to be taken under different circumstances to achieve specific goals Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) – Specific sets of written instructions about how to perform a certain aspect of a task Norms – Unwritten, informal codes of conduct that prescribe how people should act in particular situations FAYOL’S PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT  Division of Labor: allows for job specialization. - Jobs can have too much specialization leading to poor quality and worker dissatisfaction.  Authority and Responsibility - Both formal and informal authority resulting from special expertise.  Unity of CommandEsprit de corps - Comradeship, shared enthusiasm foster devotion to the common cause (organization).

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES Why Have a Structure?  All businesses have to organise what they do  A clear structure makes it easier to see which part of the business does what  There are many ways to structure a business Some Key Terms  Flat or tall structure  Span of control  Chain of command  Hierarchy  Delegation  Empowerment (Authority) Ways to Structure a Business  By Function: arranging the business according to what each section or department does  By Product or Activity: organising according to the different products made  By Area: geographical or regional structure  By Customer: where different customer groups have different needs  By Process: where products have to go through stages as they are made  What are the advantages/disadvantages of different types of business structure? Pros and Cons of Different Structures  This depends on the business type, size and structure used
  • 88.  Let’s look at a functional structure: Functional Structure Advantages  Specialisation – each department focuses on its own work  Accountability – someone is responsible for the section  Clarity – know your and others’ roles Disadvantages  Closed communication could lead to lack of focus  Departments can become resistant to change  Coordination may take too long  Gap between top and bottom
  • 89. Organisation by Product/Activity Organisation by Product/Activity Advantages  Clear focus on market segment helps meet customers’ needs  Positive competition between divisions  Better control as each division can act as separate profit centre Disadvantages  Duplication of functions (e.g. different sales force for each division)  Negative effects of competition  Lack of central control over each separate division Organisation by Area Hewlett-Packard’s Headquarters Worldwide Advantages  Serve local needs better
  • 90.  Positive competition  More effective communication between firm and local customers Disadvantages  Conflict between local and central management  Duplication of resources and functions Other Organisational Structures  By Customer: Similar effects to structuring by product  By Process: Similar to structuring by function Organisational Structures  Flat Structure Organisation  In contrast to a tall organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few layers or just one layer of management. This means that the “Chain of Command” from top to bottom is short and the “span of control is wide”. Due to the small number of management layers, flat organisations are often small organisations. Flat Structure
  • 91. Advantages of flat Organisations  More/Greater communication between management and workers  Better team sprit  Less bureaucracy and easier decision making.  Fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs as managers are generally paid more than worker. Disadvantages of flat Organisations  Workers may have more than one manager/boss.  May limit/hinder the growth of the organisation.  Structure limited to small organisations such as partnerships, co- operatives and some private limited companies.  Function of each department/person could be blurred and merge into the job roles of others. Tall Structure Organisation  In its simplest form a tall organisation has many levels of management and supervision. There is a “long chain of command” running from the top of the organisation eg Chief Executive down to the bottom of the organisation eg shop floor worker.
  • 92. Advantages of tall Organisations  There is a narrow span of control ie each manager has a small number of employees under their control. This means that employees can be closely supervised  There is a clear management structure  The function of each layer will be clear and distinct. There will be clear lines of responsibility and control.  Clear progression and promotion ladder Disadvantages of tall Organisations  The freedom and responsibility of employees (subordinates) is restricted  Decision making could be slowed down as approval may be needed by each of the layers of authority.  Communication has to take place through many layers of management.
  • 93.  High management costs because managers are generally paid more than subordinates. Each layer will tend to pay it’s managers more money than the layer below it. Matrix ( or project-based) organisations  A Matrix structure organisation contains teams of people created from various sections of the business. These teams will be created for the purposes of a specific project and will be led by a project manager. Often the team will only exist for the duration of the project and matrix structures are usually deployed to develop new products and services.  Advantages of matrixIndividuals can be chosen according to the needs of the project.  The use of a project team which is dynamic and able to view problems in a different way as specialists have been brought together in a new environment.  Project managers are directly responsible for completing the project within a specific deadline and budget.  DisadvantagesA conflict of loyalty between line managers and project managers over the allocation of resources.  If teams have a lot of independence can be difficult to monitor.  Costs can be increased if more managers (ie project managers) are created through the use of project teams
