The document discusses different theories of organizational development including:
1. Classical Theory which focused on structure and formal organization and emphasized principles like division of labor, span of control, and chain of authority.
2. Human Relations School which emphasized social factors, behavior, and informal networks within organizations based on findings from the Hawthorne Studies.
3. Contingency Theory proposed by Joan Woodward which argued that no single organizational structure is best and the appropriate structure depends on contingencies like technology, products, skills, and environment.
This document discusses organizational theories and management concepts. It begins by defining key terms like management, organization, and theories. It then summarizes three classic organization theories: classical, neoclassical, and modern structural. It also outlines principles and approaches within each theory. The document discusses strengths and weaknesses of each theory. Finally, it explores levels of management, management functions, skills, and styles.
This slide presentation will help students understand how management evolved and the significant approaches to make organizations more productive, effective, and efficient.
The document discusses the evolution of management thinking over time. It describes several major perspectives in chronological order: classical perspective focused on efficiency; humanistic perspective emphasized understanding human behavior and needs; management science perspective applied quantitative techniques; and more recent trends include systems theory, contingency view, and total quality management. It also discusses forces influencing organizations, the learning organization, and technology-driven changes like e-commerce.

- Explaining the historical evolution of management theories from scientific management to human relations approaches
- Describing common managerial competencies like communication, teamwork, and strategic thinking
- Outlining the different levels of management from first-line to top managers
Management thought developed from practical experience and was later influenced by other fields of study. Early theories included pre-scientific approaches, classical theories from Taylor, Fayol and Weber, and behavioral theories focusing on human and social factors. Modern theories view organizations dynamically and respond to environmental changes. They include quantitative analysis, systems thinking, contingency approaches accounting for different situations, and operational theories examining organizational processes.
This document provides an overview of management concepts. It begins by defining management and discussing its importance. It then examines the roles and functions of managers, including the four main functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. The document also explores theories of management including scientific management, administrative principles, and the Hawthorne studies. It analyzes how these theories shaped modern approaches to management and the importance of behavioral science concepts.

It describes early theories including scientific management, bureaucracy, and administrative management principles. It then covers behavioral management including the Hawthorne Studies and McGregor's Theory X and Y. Later sections discuss management science, systems theory, contingency theory, and the mechanistic and organic organizational structures that managers can use depending on the situation.
This document provides an overview of classical theories of organizations that emerged in the early 20th century, including scientific management, bureaucracy, and administrative principles. Scientific management as proposed by Taylor focused on maximizing worker efficiency through standardized tasks and measurements. Weber's theory of bureaucracy proposed a hierarchical structure with clear division of labor, rules, and impersonality. Fayol's administrative theory described the functions of management as planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. The classical theories emphasized strict control, chain of command, and predictability of worker behavior.
The document discusses several theories of management including:
1) Scientific Management Theory proposed by Frederick Taylor which emphasized time-motion studies, piece-rate wages, division of labor, and functional foremanship.
2) Bureaucratic Theory proposed by Max Weber which advocated for hierarchies, rules, impersonality, and career advancement based on qualifications.
3) Administrative Management principles proposed by Henri Fayol including planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling.
4) Human Relations Approach advocated by Mary Parker Follett and Elton Mayo which emphasized cooperation between employers and employees, job satisfaction, and team spirit.
Management involves utilizing available resources like people, money, materials, and machines to achieve defined objectives. It is a dynamic process that guides an organization. Management encompasses planning, organizing, leading, motivating, and controlling human efforts through the basic managerial functions of planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling. Efficient management is essential for businesses to survive and grow in today's competitive environment.

This document discusses an organization's external environment and how it impacts the organization. An organization's external environment consists of 10 sectors that influence it, including competitors, suppliers, customers, government regulations, and economic conditions. The document also examines how organizations structure themselves based on the level of uncertainty and complexity in their external environment, with more organic structures used in more uncertain environments. Finally, the document outlines strategies organizations can use to control their external environment, such as establishing partnerships or influencing regulations.
Chapter 1 - Managing and Manager in a Dynamic EnvironmentProf. JLMoneda
This topic will obtain a broad understanding of management (including traditional and emerging views), and the areas of knowledge and skills required to carry out the major functions of management.
The slide is prepared for Economics of Strategy class in Prasetiya Mulya Business School. In week 3, we discuss about horizontal boundaries of the firm which define how much of the total product market the firm serves (scale) and what variety of related products the firm offers (scope). This concept is important for firms to formulate strategy.
The document discusses the five stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, team members are just getting to know each other. Storming is characterized by differences and competing ideas, which leaders must help the team through. During norming, relationships are developing and team members start trusting each other and taking responsibility. The performing stage sees highly effective teamwork where decisions are made as a group. Finally, adjourning occurs when the team disbands and members return individually.
The document discusses the project life cycle which consists of four phases: initiation, planning, execution, and closure/evaluation.
The initiation phase involves defining the project scope, objectives, and resources. A business case and feasibility study are developed. In planning, detailed project, resource, financial, quality, risk, and acceptance plans are created.
Execution involves building deliverables while managing time, costs, quality, risks, issues, acceptance, and communications. Closure involves releasing deliverables, closing contracts, and communicating project end. An evaluation determines project success and lessons learned.
The contingency approach to management states that there is no single best way to manage an organization. Rather, the most effective management style depends on various internal and external situational factors. Internally, factors like an organization's purpose, tasks, technology, structure impact management. Externally, socio-cultural, legal, economic, and technological environmental factors are important. The contingency approach advocates that managers analyze all relevant situational factors to determine the management approach most suitable for a given situation, as different circumstances require different organizational structures.

The Hawthorne Experiments consisted of four parts conducted between 1924-1932 at Western Electric Works in the US. The first experiment varied lighting levels and found productivity increased regardless, showing factors beyond lighting impacted work. The second experiment gave workers flexibility and found productivity rose. Interviews in the third experiment revealed productivity increased when workers could freely discuss important issues. The fourth embedded observers and found workers set their own standards. The conclusions determined social and psychological factors beyond physical conditions most impact productivity.

Intergroup Conflict, The Structure of Organizations, Designing Effective Orga...Krista Karissa Cariño
This document discusses topics related to industrial psychology including intergroup conflict, organizational structure, and designing effective organizations. It provides details on causes of intergroup conflict such as task interdependence and reward systems. Strategies for managing conflict include avoidance, defusion, containment, and confrontation. The dynamics of winning and losing conflicts are also examined. The document also explores formal organizational structures and their goals of defining responsibility, facilitating coordination, and adapting to environments.
Scientific management, as developed by Frederick Taylor, focused on analyzing workflows to determine the most efficient way to perform tasks. It emphasized specialization of labor, standardized work processes, incentives for meeting productivity targets, and close monitoring and measurement of worker performance. The goal was to maximize productivity. However, it treated workers as extensions of the machines they operated and did not consider their well-being, potentially dehumanizing labor.
In Pre-classical theory the structure of the organization is mechanical.
Its main focus is on work.
It emphasizes on order, rules & regulations.
The practice of leadership is authoritarian.
It focuses on 5Ps: Power, Position, Production, Profit & Punishment.
It results workers’ dis satisfaction.
As a result Industrial Revolution got its root
Classical Theory emphasizes on both orders & rationality. It consists of basic rules & regulations for smooth running of the organizations.
Classical approaches can be explained in the following manner.
Scientific Management by F.W. Tayler, Frank & Gilbreth & Henry Gantt.
Administrative Management by Henri Fayol.
Bureaucratic Management by Max Weber
Frederick Winslow Taylor was an American engineer who is known as the Father of “Scientific Management” which studies the application of science in management.
According to Taylor there is “One Best Way” to do each thing.
He stressed on involvement of science for each element of man’s work to replace the old rule-of-thumb method.
Scientific training & development helped workers to perform in a better manner than allowing them to choose their own task & perform.
There was the development of spirit of hearty cooperation between workers & management.
Each group was assigned the task for which it was best fitted.
His studies helped to improve the working conditions of industrial workers & were instrumental in enhancing the productivity of the organization.
He propounded sound management practices by stressing on division of labor, scientific selection, placement & training of workers.
Taylor was also instrumental in introducing the differential piece rate system in organization.
His studies helped to improve the working conditions of industrial workers & were instrumental in enhancing the productivity of the organization.
He propounded sound management practices by stressing on division of labor, scientific selection, placement & training of workers.
Taylor was also instrumental in introducing the differential piece rate system in organization.
Piece Rate-Incentive System: Incentives are being received according to the maximum pieces produced.
Time-&-Motion Study: Jobs are broken down into various small tasks or motions & unnecessary motions are removed to find out the best way of doing a job.
Scientifically performing the job with proper selection & training.
Harmony between management & employees to perform the task.
Mental revolution towards the thought of workers who are not the mere wage earners. They are the assets.
The father of “Motion Study” are Frank & Gilbreth which involves finding the best sequence & minimum number of motions needed to complete a task.
Both were mainly involved in exploring new ways for eliminating unnecessary motions & reducing work fatigue.
They introduced the concept of “Therbligs” which consists of different basic motions like: Search, Select, Position & Hold.
Organization and Management: Function & Theories of Managementreginamunsayac
Frederick W. Taylor is considered as the Father of Scientific Management. One of his contributions to scientific management is identifying clear guidelines for the improvement of worker productivity through developing a science for each element of an individual's work to replace the old rule of thumb method.

Both were mainly involved in exploring new ways for eliminating unnecessary motions & reducing work fatigue.
They introduced the concept of “Therbligs” which consists of different basic motions like: Search, Select, Position & Hold.
Both are very famous for their experiment of reducing the number of motions in “Bricklaying”, by analyzing brick layers jobs & reducing the number of motions in bricklaying from 18.5-4.
Henry Laurence Gantt was a mechanical engineer & management consultant who is the most famous personality for developing “Gantt Chart” in 1910.
He is one of the associate of F.W. Taylor & his contribution is very helpful in project management task.
Gantt Chart is used for scheduling multiple overlapping tasks over a time period.
He focused on leadership qualities along with motivational schemes & emphasized the greater effectiveness of rewards for good work rather than penalties for poor performance.
He developed a “Pay Incentive System” with a guaranteed minimum wage & bonus for workers. If the workers completed their task before the standard time they would receive bonus definitely.
Henry Fayol is known as the Father of “Administrative Management”. He contributed fourteen management principles on the basis of his experience.
According to Fayol, the business operations of an organization can be divided into six activities: Technical, Commercial, Financial, Security, Accounting & Managerial.
These fourteen principles are: Specialisation of Labour, Authority, Discipline, Unity of Command, Unity
Henry Fayol is known as the Father of “Administrative Management”. He contributed fourteen management principles on the basis of his experience.
According to Fayol, the business operations of an organization can be divided into six activities: Technical, Commercial, Financial, Security, Accounting & Managerial.
These fourteen principles are: Specialisation of Labour, Authority, Discipline, Unity of Command, Unity of Direction, Subordination of Individual Interests, Remuneration, Centralization, Scalar Chain, Order, Equity, Personal Tenure, Initiative & Esprit de corps (SADUSRCSOEPIE).
Weber believed that bureaucracy was the most efficient way to set up & manage an organization, and absolutely necessary for larger companies to achieve maximum productivity with many employees & tasks.
The idea of Bureaucracy Favors efficiency, uniformity & a clear distribution of power.
Weber argued that bureaucracy constitutes the most efficient & rational way in which human activity can be organised.
Hierarchies are necessary to maintain order, to maximise efficiency & to eliminate favouritism.
The Hawthorne Studies (Experiments) were conducted from 1927-1932 at Western Electric Hawthorne Workers in Chicago ; which was engaged in producing bells & other electrical equipment for telephone industry.
George Elton Mayo (1880-1949) was born on 26th December, 1880 in Adelaide, Australia. He is known for his research including the “Hawthorne Studies”, & his book “The human problems of an Industrialised civilization”.
The conclusion of the study is the work performance of people is dependent on both social issues & job content. He suggested a tension between workers’ “logic of sentiment” & managers “logic of cost & efficiency” which could lead to conflict within organizations.
Mayo has conducted a series of experimental observations in plant & interview of employees. These are:
Illumination Experiment (1924-27)
Relay Assembly Test Room Experiments (1927)
Mass Interviewing Programme (1928-31)
Bank Wiring Observation Room Experiments (1931-32)
Chester Irving Barnard was a telecommunication executive looked at systems of the organization.
The author focused on two basic theories: the theory of Authority & theory of initiatives. Both are seen in the context of a communication system.
Everyone should know the channels of communication.
Everyone should have access to the formal channels of communication.
Lines of communication should be a short & as direct as possible.
Mary Parker Follett has focused on dynamics of the organization & groups. She has advocated “Pull” rather than “Push” approach for employee motivation.
She has differentiated between “Power Over” & “Power With” and given ideas on negotiation, conflict resolution, power sharing etc.
Conflict resolution through integration often results in a win-win situation. Integration refers to identifying & meeting each party’s underlying & often compatible need.
This document provides an introduction to management concepts. It discusses the origins of management studies and some ancient writings on management. It defines management as the process of getting work done efficiently through others. The document outlines the nature, purpose, functions, levels of managers, managerial roles, skills, Fayol's 14 principles of management, recent trends, and the scientific management school established by Frederick Taylor which emphasized job analysis, time/motion study, and financial incentives. Taylor's approach was criticized for ignoring human factors and being dehumanizing.
The document summarizes the historical development of management perspectives from classical, scientific, administrative, and bureaucratic approaches to behavioral, quantitative, systems, contingency, and integrative frameworks. It discusses key contributors like Taylor, Fayol, Mayo, Maslow, and McGregor and their influences on management thought. Contemporary perspectives emphasize recognizing internal/external influences, contingency-based responses, and an integrative approach to enhance efficiency and understanding of individual/group behavior.
The concepts of organizations, managers, and management are explored in this session. Every organization, regardless of size, type, or location, needs managers who have a variety of characteristics. Managers may come from any nationality or be of either gender.

FUNDAMENTALS OF MANAGEMENT ON ACCOUNTING - IFM2.pptxcharichamakori
Management involves planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling organizational resources to achieve goals. It is a universal process that occurs at multiple levels within organizations. Top-level managers focus on long-term strategy, middle managers implement plans tactically, and front-line managers oversee daily operations. Effective management requires both a scientific approach using data and a creative art involving communication and problem-solving skills. It is a professional discipline involving specialized knowledge acquired through formal education and training.
This document provides an overview of organizational behavior. It defines organizations as groups of people working interdependently toward common objectives.

Module 02 Public Admin in the 21st CenturyIPAC-IAPC
The document discusses skills needed for public administrators in the 21st century. It notes that fiscal constraints and rising stakeholder expectations are creating a "new normal" for the public sector. Key priorities identified include building leadership capacity, driving innovation in service delivery through citizen engagement and third parties, and focusing on stakeholder engagement and building trust. Effective change management, collaboration, and performance management are also emphasized. The document argues that public managers need more flexibility to function effectively within these constraints. It discusses the role of institutional entrepreneurs and tempered radicals in driving innovation within bureaucratic organizations and creating cultures that empower creativity.
This document discusses definitions and concepts of management. It provides 4 definitions: 1) management as an art of getting things done through others, 2) management as a process consisting of planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling, 3) management as the art of getting things done through people in formally organized groups, and 4) management as a specialized field of study. It then discusses the nature of management as multi-disciplinary, with dynamic and relative principles. Management can be considered both a science and an art. Finally, it outlines characteristics of management such as the existence of objectives, its continuous nature, and being a social and decision-making process.
1. There are fundamental differences between leadership and management. Leadership involves leading and inspiring people, while management focuses on controlling processes and resources.
2. Different leadership styles can impact performance. A human-relations style that is supportive and participative can foster cooperation, while an autocratic or charismatic style concentrates power and decision-making with the leader.
3. Effective management and leadership require both control of processes and inspiration of people. Historically, companies that adopted principles balancing these needs, like Michelin, saw improved performance and worker satisfaction.
Management involves planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the work of others to accomplish organizational goals. The key aspects of effective management include decision making, coordinating activities, utilizing resources, and adapting to changing environments. Management principles have evolved over time based on scientific experimentation and practical experience. Modern management approaches emphasize both the science of planning and measurement as well as the art of leadership and creativity. Effective management is important for organizations to function efficiently and achieve their objectives.

The Hawthorne studies conducted in the 1920s and 1930s investigated the impact of physical working conditions like illumination on worker productivity. The studies found that productivity increased with changes but later increased even more when conditions were returned to normal. This revealed that social and psychological factors like feelings of importance, belongingness and cooperation among workers positively impacted productivity more than physical conditions alone. The studies highlighted the importance of the human element in organizations.
(1) The document discusses the evolution of management approaches from classical, behavioral, and management science perspectives.
(2) It emphasizes the need for managers to integrate tools and principles from the different approaches to be successful.
(3) Key contributors and their principles are outlined, such as Taylor's scientific management, Weber's bureaucracy model, and Follett's focus on recognizing individual behavior in organizations.

Managers to be responsible for planning, organizing, supervising the
subordinates. Workers to be free from the problems & to concentrate on tasks
to get the jobs done.
Managers to treat employees as individuals rather than as teams or trade unions.
Managers to select & train staff in the most efficient way of performing works.
Managers to motivate workers with the prospect of higher pay & the chance of
promotion for those who deserve it.. E.g., “ a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work”.
Managers to produce a blueprint of the best way to perform a task by studying
successful employees then applying to all employees.
Managers to create harmony in the work place by showing that success of an
employee is directly linked to the success of the organization.
Managers to see scientific approach is applied to each operation performed
by an employee to avoid the waste of effort.

Management takes over all functions & workers just taking
orders with little control over work situations. No delegation.Little control
Managers only focused on first-class workers, ignoring older or
handicapped people.
Little room for negotiation between management & workers.

measuring performance. No bargaining about wage rate since
every job was measured, timed and rated scientifically.

Workers are treated as individuals & underestimates the effects
of group pressures & unions on production & efficiency.

4/1/2015 PKL 18
Main Features
Specialization : There is clear-cut division of
labor and a high level of specialization, creating
continuity even if the current job holder leaves.
Hierarchy of authority : Sharp distinction
between management & labor. Clearly defined
levels of authority within management ranks.
E.g. Army and civil service.
System of rules : Uniformity of decisions &
actions is achieved through formally established
rules & regulations.
Impersonality : Allocation of privileges exercise
of authority & decisions are in accordance with
the laid-down system of rules. Avoid personal
preferences of employees.
19. BUREAUCRACY
4/1/2015 PKL 19
Criticisms of Bureaucracy
Over-emphasis on rules & procedures.
Too dependence upon bureaucratic status,
symbols & rules by officials.
Initiative may be stifled & lack of flexibility
or adaptation to changing circumstances.
Position in the organization can lead to
officious or dictatorial behavior.
Impersonal relations lead to stereotyped
behavior & lack of responsiveness to
individual incidents or problems.
20. Values and Weakness of Classical Theory
4/1/2015 PKL 20
Strong elements of common
sense easily recognized by
practicing current managers.
The principles didn’t completely
ignore social dimension.
Mainly focus that structure
affects performance of
organization & the importance of
management education.
The strongest criticism of the
approaches belief in the existence
of a single set of guiding
principles of organization.
The rigidity of the principles
preclude the flexibility in designing
structure to suit the circumstances.
Overemphasis on division of labor
& specialization, spans of control, etc
Human beings treated as puppets
to fit into the organizational roles
Decision-making rests on
management & little consultation
from staff.
Management has complete control
but staffs need to be responsive to
external forces. E.g., customers,
competitors, etc.

Relationship between the lighting level in work place & the
productivity by workers. There was not that much difference
between the productivity of workers when the level of
illumination was increased or decreased in the Test Room.
Individual workers cannot be treated in isolation, but must be seen
as members of a group. Informal groups at work exercise a strong
influence over the behavior of workers.
The need to belong to a group is more important than monetary
incentives or good physical working conditions.
If workers feel valued and important, as opposed to external
factors, enthusiasm increase for their job & higher output.

Findings
Contributi
ons
Hawthorne studies demonstrated that the working conditions
had no significant effect on productivity, but it was the social
interactions within the group which affect the motivation of
workers & standard of work performance.
25. Summary of the Human Relations School
4/1/2015 PKL 25
Hawthorne studies shows the formal structure ,values & goals are not the
only determinant of behavior in the work place, informal network of work
groups and interactions (interpersonal relationship ), play important roles for
the lives of workers.
Informal work groups controls & determines the habits, attitudes &
motivation of the individual worker, provide informal channel of
communication, e.g., grapevine (gossip, rumours) or word of mouth
Work group norms set standards of performance. E.g., time keeping, output,
quality, attitudes towards clients, dress codes, etc.,
Group collaboration does not occur by accident; it must be planned and
developed to reach a cohesion within a work plant.
The concept bring > formal & informal to be inline > applying values & goals >
maintaining empowerment & participation to develop motivation.
Emphasize the importance of the social needs of individuals, sense of
personal identity, recognize organization as a social organization & the
importance of group, group values & norms.

4/1/2015 PKL 28
Main Features
No one best structure or method can be applied to all
organizations. There is a wide range of possible structures.
Influencing
factors or
contingencies
The decision to choose appropriate structure depend on the
factors such as types of technology, product or service,
motivation, skills, knowledge, commitment & experience of work
force.
Findings
No definite pattern can be set with regards to business success.
Size of production affect the structure of the firm.
Different structures in terms of the level of authority, span of
control, definitions of duties, the extent of communication and
specialization to be developed.
There is a correlation between the level of control over the
production process and working patters directly linked to the
objectives of the organization.
29. Important Contingencies or Attributes
4/1/2015 PKL 29
Deciding which
structure produce
the best
performance is
situational
i.e. contingent
upon certain
contingencies or
attributes (nature
of tasks & nature
of environment
influences ) of the
situation of each
particular
organization
Type of Technology
Range of Products
Suppliers and distributors
Consumer interest groups
Customers &competitors
Government
Unions
30. Structure & Technology (Three Forms of Organizations by Joan Woodward)
4/1/2015 PKL 30
Unit or Small Batch Production
The least automation processes where machines are not suitable for
short run production by customer’s specification & prototypes .
Production is based on order. None routine technology.
Small batches of items. E.g., aircraft or ship-building, furniture maker,
surgical teams.
Type
Lose structure with delegation of authority within a standard
pyramidal hierarchy with permissive management attitudes.
Structure
Skills and knowledge is more important than machines
Work process is unpredictable, hard to pre-program or automate.
CEO has low span of control (direct reports).
Relatively low percentage of managers
Organic structure & Flat organization (few levels of hierarchy).
Tips
31. Cont’d
4/1/2015 PKL 31
More automated with production of standard items in large
quantity & assembly line working. Routine Technology.
Technology not entirely dominant due to occurrence of variations
and uncertainties even in the mass production line. E.g., Cars,
Aluminum cans, toasters.
Type
Characterized by tighter control with large scale hierarchies .
Traditional pyramid shape ,elongated at the base where large
numbers of workers at the lowest levels with relatively few middle &
senior managers.
Structure
Taller hierarchies
Bottom level is huge (supervisor span of control is 50)
Relatively greater number of managers ( hierarchy is so tall)
Mechanistic, bureaucratic structure with large span of control.
Tips
Large Batch & Mass Production
32. Cont’d
4/1/2015 PKL 32
Type
Structure
Tips
Characterized by oil refineries & chemical manufacturing where
production process is relatively stable & fully automated.
E.g., bakeries, breweries, dairies, power plants.
Machines do everything, humans just monitor the machines.
Tall and thin or inverted pyramid: almost nobody at the bottom
Organic at the top & mechanistic at lower levels , because machines
do everything & not much paper work, low level supervision, etc.
Flexible structure with diamond shaped hierarchies where small
number of operatives for service and maintaining the machinery.
A larger group of middle managers, scientists, accountants.
Problems arise from the middle where limited opportunities for
advancement & limited individual initiative for the production process.
Process Production
33. Burns & Stalker : Two “Ideal Types” of Organizations
4/1/2015 PKL 33
Mechanistic Structure Organic Structure
Based on Bureaucracy
Directive leadership
Output orientation
Rigid departmentalization
Highly specialized functional tasks
Traditional ways of working
New ideas are not acceptable
Strict chain of command
Narrow span of control
Centralized decision making
Vertical communication
Little teamwork
Loyalty to organization
Precise technical methods
Daily reporting
Fluid structure
Horizontal/lateral interaction
Loyalty to project/group
Network communication
Individual decides own methods
Tasks are adjusted & redefined
frequently
Members not stick to JD
Service oriented
Responsive to customer needs
More verbal style reporting
Prestige comes from personal
contribution
34. Lawrence & Lorsch’s Structure & External Environment
4/1/2015 PKL 34
If environments are changing rapidly ,difficult to predict with
different demands, more department & sections to be set up
forming a greater division of labor & specialization.
The internal structure of the organization develop or create
different attitudes and ways of doing things based on the nature
of the tasks.
Potential departmental conflicts .
Research & Development Production
Department
Sales Department
More concerned with new
ideas, product innovation
with long term view.
Operate in a dynamic &
scientific environment ,
suitable with organic
structure
More concerned with short
term problems like quality
control, inventory
management & delivery
dates. Operate in stable &
technical environment ,
suitable with bureaucratic
structure.
In the middle between
R&D and Production. More
concerned with chasing
production and external
market.
Differentiation
35. Cont’d
4/1/2015 PKL 35
Conclusion
The ways in which the organization as a whole draws together its
parts or subsystems in order to achieve objectives.
The degree of co-ordination and co-operation between different
departments with interdependent tasks.
In mechanistic structures, integration to be achieved through
policies, rules & procedures.
In organic structures, integration to be achieved through
teamwork & mutual corporation
For rapidly changing environments, both differentiation &
integration need to be at high level.
For relatively stable environments, less integration is needed
because decision is made at the top level of the organization.
Too low level of integration may result in departments ‘doing
their own thing’, creating poor decision & inefficient use of
resources.
Integration
36. [E] System Theory : The systems Approach
4/1/2015 PKL 36
The frame of reference : Composed of regularly interacting or interrelating
groups of activities evolved from “ individually oriented industrial psychology to
system oriented organizational psychology.
Based on premise that organizations are highly complex social systems.
Summary : Organizations > inputs > transformation process > outputs. Feedback
loop included to show > outputs have an effect upon the system > by returning as
an input.
Inputs

Transformation System

Basic Elements of A System
37. Organization As An Open System
4/1/2015 PKL 37
An organization, e.g., a
manufacturing company is a
complex system of interrelated
departments, processes, and
people.
There is clearly a boundary
between what is “inside” and what
is “outside” of the organization.
The organization as an open system
exists within an environment and
imports materials, capital and
people from that environment.
These inputs are used to create
goods and services and then
exported back into the
environment with and added value
outputs.
38. The Nature of Systems
4/1/2015 PKL 38
Sub -
Systems
Boundaries
&
Environment
Each system has many “sub-systems”, within an organization , every
department can be seen as sub-system.
A system of interdependent parts constantly inter-relate both
internally and externally.
E.g., Planning Department (sub-system) interfaces internally with HR,
Sales & Mar.., Production & Procurement and Finance for budgeting.
E.g., HR Department (sub-system) interfaces externally with labor
market which is outside the organization.
Closed systems function entirely within their boundaries & totally
unaffected by anything outside. E.g., Nuclear Power Plants
Open systems more common & flow occur across the boundary &
factors outside the system affect it significantly. E.g., Organizations
Boundary exist around each system or sub-system .
Objectives
&
Goals
All systems & sub - systems have a purpose, objectives & goals.
E.g., Ford Motor Co’s main objective is the production of cars but it’s
sub – systems’ objectives is painting the body parts & mixing paints
into the correct colors.
39. Sub-Systems of the Organization
4/1/2015 PKL 39
Psycho social
sub-system
People are key element in the firm and important determinants
are goals, values, relationship & behaviors of the members of the
organization.
Concerned with the division of tasks & grouping into operation
units, coordination & control. creating interdependence between
personnel and technology. E.g., Organization chart
Organizations employ technology for carrying out its tasks. E.g.,
machines, robotics ,filling systems, communication equipment.
Attention on mechanisms of coordination & control.
E.g., quality, customer care & TQM are applied for managerial
objectives.
Emphasizes on the formal goals & values of the organization itself.
Production industry, goals & values are expressed by quantifiable
targets > profits, numbers of units produced over time.

each other !
41. Levels Within The Organizations
4/1/2015 PKL 41
Technical or
Operational Level
Concerned with
getting the
actual task done.
e.g., finance
department the
task is the date
entry payment of
creditors.
[daily operation]
Tactical Level
Concerned with
coordination & integration
of technical level.
Emphasized on mediation
& compromise between
the departments to work
well together, ensuring
continuity & consistency
across operations.
e.g., overall financial or
accounting systems and
policies.
r Strategic Level
Organization –wide
development in
relation to its
environment
,forecasting internal &
external pressures,
forming policy about
responses.
Determining future
direction of the
operation using the
overall methods of
achieving development
& commitment.
43. Action Theory : Argyis & Schol’s Three Variables
4/1/2015 PKL 43
Case Study to illustrate this process.
A manager may have a governing variable of suppressing conflict of
interest problem and one of being competent.
In this situation he plan or design action strategies to keep both these
governing variables within acceptable limits. In this case, he intend to
avoid the discussion of the conflict situation and say as little as
possible. This avoidance may (he hopes) suppress the conflict, yet allow
him to appear competent because he at least hasn't said anything wrong.
This strategy will have various consequences both for him and the others
involved. An intended consequence might be that the other parties will
eventually give up the discussion, thereby successfully suppressing the
conflict. As he has said little, he may feel he has not left himself open to
being seen as incompetent. An unintended consequence might be that
the he thinks the situation has been left unresolved and therefore likely to
recur, and feels dissatisfied.
44. Cont’d
4/1/2015 PKL 44
Values or feelings which the person is trying to keep within
some acceptable range.
We tend to have many governing variables. Any action will likely
impact upon a number of these variables.
Therefore any situation may trigger a trade-off among governing
variables.
Governing
variables
Action
strategies
Consequences
Moves & plans used by the person to keep their governing
values/variables within the acceptable range.
These strategies will have consequences which are
both intended -- those the actor believes will result --
and unintended. In addition those consequences can be for the
self, and/or for others.

Bias for action require tolerance for risk taking & mistakes.
Managers must show readiness to engage in crisis & people not to be
afraid of making mistakes.
Enemy of excellence : playing safe by a firm leading to inertia.
Autonomy &
Entrepreneu
rship
Excellent firms foster leaders & innovators.
If people are held on so tight , creativity destroyed.
