The idea of management is not new; managing is an inbuilt character of human beings. Early forms of management concepts have been applied throughout history in order to progress as a society. We see beautiful creation from Stone Age to civilization – could those creations such as monuments and cities be in place without management? Management activities were always needed in order to complete massive projects. The Industrial Revolution as well as the growth of factories and mass production created a need for strong management processes. Better and more efficient ways of manufacturing goods were needed in order to maximize productivity, bring down costs, and increase profitability. As a result, since the late 1800’s, theorists have developed a wide range of methods for improving management practices
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

10. Management in the Past
• Management existed, but…..
• Often hereditary (usually male…)
• One-trial learning
• But, some thought about management
11. The employee today
• Man does not live by bread alone
• Nor does he work for bread alone
• A new breed of employee
• Has different values, needs, motivations
• Is better educated, more sophisticated, more aware of political,
social, and economic developments
12. Historical Background of Management
• Ancient Management
• Egypt (pyramids) and China (Great Wall)
• Venetians (floating warship assembly lines)
• Adam Smith
• Published “The Wealth of Nations” in 1776
• Advocated the division of labor (job specialization) to increase the
productivity of workers
• Industrial Revolution
• Substituted machine power for human labor
• Created large organizations in need of management
13. The Industrial Revolution
• A long-term process, not a single event
• Protestant Work ethic
• Political changes (American, French revolutions)
• Invention of steam power
• Some important figures:
• Adam Smith (1776)
• James Watt, Eli Whitney
14. The Industrial Revolution – New Technology
• Manufacturing
• Steam engines
• Cotton gin
• Mass production through standardization and specialization
• Transportation
• Steam powered ships
• Railroads
• Communications
• Telegraph
15. The industrial revolution and rise of the factory
(England, 1750)
• Small entrepreneurial organization before industrial revolution
• Advances in technology fueled the Industrial Revolution in England
• The invention of the steam power was particularly important
• Steam power enabled the opening of large textile mills where the cloth was made on
powered looms
• The introduction of factory led to the need to organize work through specialized tasks
workers
• Adam Smith wrote of the advantages of the division of labor in The Wealth of Nations
16. Industrial revolution (cont’d)
• The growth of factories also required the organization and supervision
of workers
• Workers came to work in factories instead of working at home
• Small factories could be managed by the owners, but larger factories
required hiring supervisors
• Supervisors were generally promoted from the ranks of workers due to
their technical skills as well as there peacekeeping skills.
17. Large Organizations and New Approaches to Management
• Economic transformation
• Previously – family farms, small workshops
• After Industrial Revolution – large organizations, requiring management
skills
• New demands on management
• Need for professional managers (as opposed to owners)
• Need to plan, structure, and schedule activities
• Push to efficiency
• Need for worker training and socialization to factory work
18. Professionalism of Management
Education: Late 19th Century Business taught in
high schools/commercial schools = bookkeeping
+ secretarial skills.
Wharton (1881) – accounting, economics and law
University of Chicago & UC (Berkley), 1889 –
undergrad schools of commerce
NYU & Dartmouth (Amos Tuck), 1900
Harvard (1908) -focus on educating managers of
large firms – commercial law, accounting and
general commerce. Electives: Management in
transportation, industry, marketing.
19. First Management Issues of Industry
• How do we efficiently organize people at work
with these new technologies of production and
large markets?
• How do we hire, pay, and coordinate people at
work to gain productivity?
• How do we do all of these to create economic
wealth (profit)?
20. The Beginning of Management – Pay?
1886 – Henry Towne, Pres. of Yale and Town
Manufacturing Co., “The Engineer as Economist:” How do we relate work to
increasing economic development?
Gain sharing” or “Towne Plan” – Link profits to worker’s pay: Wage rate +
performance incentive– All savings in costs were shared with workers.
Halsey Plan: Sharing profits does not work.
Bosses hide profits. Pay people on basis of a wage + 1/3rd pay incentive for
higher productivity.
1938 – Fair Labor Standards Act set min. wage at 25¢/hr
21. 1. CONCEPT OF INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT
•Industrial management is the organizational process that
includes strategic planning, setting; objectives, managing
resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed
to achieve objectives, and measuring results.
•Management also includes recording and storing facts and
information for later use or for others within the
organization. The concept of management planning involves
direction, planning, adjustment, control, and cooperation.
•Management functions are not limited to managers and
supervisors. Every member of the organization has some
management and reporting functions as part of their job.
22.
23. 2. SCOPE OF INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT
The scope of Industrial relations includes all aspects of
relationships such as bringing cordial and healthy labour
management relations, creating industrial peace and
developing industrial democracy.
•By safeguarding the interest of workers.
•By fixing reasonable wages
•By providing good working conditions
•By providing other social security measures
•By maintaining healthy trade unions
•By collective bargaining
27. Scientific Management
• Bottom- up approach
• Focus on efficiency, primarily in industrial settings
• Today:-industrial engineering, production management
• Key players:
• Frederick W. Taylor
• Frank and Lillian Gilbreth
28. Scientific Management
• Fredrick Winslow Taylor
• The “father” of scientific management
• Published Principles of Scientific Management (1911)
• The theory of scientific management
• Using scientific methods to define the “one best way” for a job to be done:
• Putting the right person on the job with the correct tools and equipment.
• Having a standardized method of doing the job.
• Providing an economic incentive to the worker.
29. 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.
30. Frederick Taylor – Cont.
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
31. Frederick Taylor – Cont.
“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?
32. F. W. Taylor and Scientific Management
• Worked at Midvale Steel (beginning as a common laborer,
rising to chief engineer, in 6 years)
• Identified “soldiering”
• Workers doing less than they were capable of
• Due to lack of training, fear of losing work or rate cuts
• Began with time study and incentive plans
• Pig iron study: the right shovel for each job
33. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth: The One Best Way
• Focus on work simplification and efficiency
• Reduce time and fatigue (Frank)
• Involve workers (Lillian)
• “The One Best Way”
• Therbligs
34. Scientific management
• Frederick W. Taylor (1856-1915) wrote The Principles of Scientific Management,
published in 1911.
Taylor stated that it was the responsibility of management to:
• Determine the one best way to do each job through precise, objective
measurement.
• Select the ‘best person’ for the job
• Train the ‘best person’ and the ‘best way’ of doing each job
• Provide a proper day’s wage for a proper day’s work as a incentive for
high performance. (There was abundant labor available, most managers
didn’t care that much about whether or not their workers were
satisfied.
• Assumed the goals of the individual and the organization to be the same
35. 6. TAYLOR’S SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
The scientific management approach propounded by F.W. Taylor is based upon the
following four principles:
(1) Science, Not Rule of Thumb:
This principle says that we should not get stuck in a set routine with the old
techniques of doing work, rather we should be constantly experimenting to develop
new techniques which make the work much simpler, easier and quicker.
(2) Harmony, Not Discord:
As per this principle, such an atmosphere should be created in the organization that
labour (the major factor of production) and management consider each other
indispensable.
Taylor has referred to such a situation as a ‘Mental Revolution’. Taylor firmly believed
that the occurrence of a mental revolution would end all conflicts between the two
parties and would be beneficial to both of them.
36.
37. 6. TAYLOR’S SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
(3) Cooperation, Not Individualism:
According to this principle, all the activities done by different people must be carried
on with a spirit of mutual cooperation. Taylor has suggested that the manager and
the workers should jointly determine standards. This increases involvement and thus,
in turn, increases responsibility. In this way we can expect miraculous results.
(4) Development of Each and Every Person to His / Her Greatest Efficiency and
Prosperity:
According to this principle, the efficiency of each and every person should be taken
care of right from his selection. A proper arrangement of everybody’s training should
be made.
It should also be taken care that each individual should be allotted work according to
his ability and interest. Such a caring attitude would create a sense of enthusiasm
among the employees and a feeling of belongingness too.
38.
39. Fayol’s Principles of Management
Henri Fayol
(1841-1925)
He has proposed that there are six primary functions of management
and 14 principles of management, Forecasting, Planning, Organizing,
Commanding, Coordinating, controlling
There are 14 Principles of Management described by Henri Fayol.
Principles of Management
40. 1. Division of Labor
Work of all kinds must be divided & subdivided and allotted to various persons
according to their expertise in a particular area.
2. Authority & Responsibility
Authority refers to the right of superiors to get exactness from their subordinates.
Responsibility means obligation for the performance of the job assigned.
Note that responsibility arises wherever authority is exercised
14 Principles of Henri Fayol
41. 3. Unity of Command
A sub-ordinate should receive orders and be accountable to one and only one boss
at a time.
He should not receive instructions from more than one person
4. Unity of Direction
People engaged in the same kind of business or same kind of activities must
have the same objectives in a single plan.
Without unity of direction, unity of action cannot be achieved.
42. 5. Equity
Equity means combination of fairness, kindness & justice.
The employees should be treated with kindness & equity if devotion is expected of
them.
6. Order
This principle is concerned with proper & systematic arrangement of things and
people.
Arrangement of things is called material order and placement of people is called social
order.
43. 7. Discipline
Discipline means sincerity, obedience, respect of authority & observance of rules and
regulations of the enterprise.
Subordinate should respect their superiors and obey their order.
8. Initiative
Initiative means eagerness to initiate actions without being asked to do so.
Management should provide opportunity to its employees to suggest ideas,
experiences& new method of work.
44. 9. Remuneration
Remuneration to be paid to the workers should be fair, reasonable, satisfactory & rewarding
of the efforts.
It should accord satisfaction to both employer and the employees.
10. Stability of Tenure
Employees should not be moved frequently from one job position to another
i.e. the period of service in a job should be fixed.
45. 11. Scalar Chain
Scalar chain is the chain of superiors ranging from the ultimate authority to the lowest.
Communications should follow this chain. However, if following the chain creates delays,
cross-communications can be allowed if agreed to by all parties and superiors are kept informed.
12. Sub-ordination of Individual Interest to common goal
An organization is much bigger than the individual it constitutes therefore interest of the undertaking
should prevail in all circumstances.
The interests of any one employee or group of employees should not take precedence over the interests
of the organization as a whole.
46. 13. Espirit De’ Corps
It refers to team spirit i.e. harmony in the work groups and mutual understanding
among the members.
Espirit De’ Corps inspires workers to work harder.
14. Centralization
Centralization refers to the degree to which subordinates are involved in decision
making. Whether decision making is centralized (to management) or decentralized
(to subordinates) is a question of proper proportion. The task is to find the
optimum degree of centralization for each situation.
48. Theory X
• Average worker is lazy
• Dislikes work
• Will try to do as little as possible
• Have little ambition and avoid
responsibility
Theory Y
• Workers are not inherently lazy
• Do not naturally dislike work
• If given the opportunity, will do what is
good for the organization.
• Theory X and Y Douglas McGregor
49. 8. DOUGLAS MC- GREGOR’S THEORY X AND THEORY Y
•Assumptions of Theory X
•An average employee intrinsically does not like work and tries to escape it whenever
possible.
•Since the employee does not want to work, he must be persuaded, compelled, or
warned with punishment so as to achieve organizational goals. A close supervision is
required on part of managers. The managers adopt a more dictatorial style.
•Many employees rank job security on top, and they have little or no aspiration/
ambition.
•Employees generally dislike responsibilities.
•Employees resist change.
•An average employee needs formal direction.
50.
51. 8. DOUGLAS MC- GREGOR’S THEORY X AND THEORY Y
•Assumptions of Theory Y
•Employees can perceive their job as relaxing and normal. They exercise their
physical and mental efforts in an inherent manner in their jobs.
•Employees may not require only threat, external control and coercion to work, but
they can use self-direction and self-control if they are dedicated and sincere to
achieve the organizational objectives.
•If the job is rewarding and satisfying, then it will result in employees’ loyalty and
commitment to organization.
•An average employee can learn to admit and recognize the responsibility. In fact, he
can even learn to obtain responsibility.
•The employees have skills and capabilities. Their logical capabilities should be fully
utilized. In other words, the creativity, resourcefulness and innovative potentiality of
the employees can be utilized to solve organizational problems.
52.
53. 8. DOUGLAS MC- GREGOR’S THEORY X AND THEORY Y
McGregor views Theory Y to be more valid and reasonable than Theory X.
Thus, he encouraged cordial team relations, responsible and stimulating jobs,
and participation of all in decision-making process.
Implications of Theory X and Theory Y
Quite a few organizations use Theory X today. Theory X encourages use of
tight control and supervision. It implies that employees are reluctant to
organizational changes. Thus, it does not encourage innovation.
Many organizations are using Theory Y techniques. Theory Y implies that the
managers should create and encourage a work environment which provides
opportunities to employees to take initiative and self-direction. Employees
should be given opportunities to contribute to organizational well-being.
Theory Y encourages decentralization of authority, teamwork and
participative decision making in an organization. Theory Y searches and
discovers the ways in which an employee can make significant contributions
in an organization. It harmonizes and matches employees’ needs and
aspirations with organizational needs and aspirations.
