Emerging Trends in Management -
2012 by Dr.Harry CD 3

In recent times, a series of mass protests
are gripping notably UK, Spain, Italy,
Greece, Egypt, Israel, India and numerous
other countries around the world.

My considered opinion is that this is the outcome of
accumulated anger stoked up by perennial poverty, deprivation,
disparity, exclusion and marginalization in societies.

The outburst is overtly directed against the persons in power for
their misrule, corruption, nepotism, arrogance and denial to
provide for the minimum.

The unprecedented riots across England are found to be
caused by the "social selfishness" of the "insulated haves... and
their regular denigration of the poor."


Changing Management Scenario

Current trends include managers that manage the work and not
the people.

Work is more predictable than people.

Rather than trying to manage people so strictly, managers are
living in the light and kindness with employees as they are real
people; their own neighbors.


Contemporary Management styles
1. Micro and Macro management
2. Virtual and Open source management
3. Globally distributed management
4. Global and International Management
5. Business ecosystems –Networked Management
6. Green Management
7. Smart Management
8. Sustainability management Green management measures such as
certified environmental management
International and Global Management is systems (EMS) or tools like life cycle
concerned with the techniques and assessment activities are considered to
improve corporate environmental
practices that are involved in directing and
performance directly by mandating
controlling international organisations. companies to introduce environmental
goals and management structures as
well as programs to achieve them
2(Coglianese and Nash, 2001;
Johnstone, 2001)


S.M.A.R.T. Management includes
(specific, measurable, achievable, realistic,
and time-based.) methods of
implementation

Sustainable management takes the
concepts from sustainability and
synthesizes them with the concepts of
management. Sustainability has three
branches: the environment, the needs of
present and future generations, and the
economy


The micro-manager keeps you under scrutiny, questioning your moves.
S/he gives advice on your work whether or not you think it's necessary. At
times you don't feel trusted. You may appreciate his/her concerns when
needed, but also think s/he doubts your capabilities when you're doing a
capable job.

Pro: They're there when you don't need them
Con: They're there when you do need them

They engage the lowest frequency emotion,
FEAR, in the workplace. Fear ----> frustration -
----> Depression ---->Sabotage ---->
Accidents ----->or Lack of Productivity. Too
much micromanagement can cost a company
its best and brightest.


The macro-manager is the opposite: S/he may be absent often, leaving
you to make all/most of the decisions, s/he isn't abundant with advice, but
expects a certain level of competency, whether or not the few directions
given are completely understood.

His/her absenteeism be a relief for awhile, but his/her lack of direction can
come across as detached and apathetic, and may be frustrating when
you're left with even the responsibilities s/he should be making.

Pro: They aren't there when you don't need them
Con: They aren't there when you do need them

Emerging Trends in Management - 9
2012 by Dr.Harry CD

New trend in management propose the presence of three
psychological states that could result in a highly motivated and
productive worker.

The worker must experience:
1. Meaningfulness or significance of their job
2. Responsibility for outcomes
3. Feedback on the work performed

Wise management never underestimates people's pride and
dignity for work. Recognition goes a long way. When the
environment is happy, work translates to play. Money matters but
that's not all there is.

Trends in Management


The 5 Most Prominent Management Trends of the 21st century –
Working Knowledge - the Harvard Business School publication

Globalization

The melting of barriers among nations and their increasing
interconnectedness, accelerated by technology, has led to a change in
the world order that has had a profound impact on global business. The
emergence of nations such as India and China has replaced the era of
unquestioned dominance of the Western countries or any one particular
region, paving the way for a flattened business arena where developments
in one part of the other are certain to have a spiraling impact. Perhaps the
best evidence of this is the recent financial crisis.

Technology

If the current wave of globalization has been the driving force behind the
most far-reaching and powerful changes in business, then information
technology has indisputably been the facilitator.

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

For business to be sustainable, and even profitable, our planet has to be
sustainable - this realization has hit businesses perhaps the hardest in
recent times. HBS Dean Nitin Nohria feels that in the coming decade, we
are likely to see a lot of focus directed towards applying management
principles to solutions of complex social issues such as environmental
sustainability, energy security, access to healthcare etc. This will also
underline the need for increased interdisciplinary interaction and influence
on business management.

The Study of Psychology

Speaking of interdisciplinary influences on business, the study of human
psychology - probing into cognition, motivation, behavior and
performance - has become a key pillar of organizational management.
From employee management to customer satisfaction and social
engagement, satisfaction of business objectives requires effective analysis
of both individual and institutional psychology. Emerging Trends in Management -

Business Ecosystems

Professor Carlyss Y. Baldwin feels that one of the most notable trends in
management has been the rise of business ecosystems - defined as
groups of firms which together provide complex products and related
services to meet end-to- end requirements of users across the value
chain. The integration between media, technology and telecommunication
firms would be an apt contemporary example.

perspectives.

customs and rigidly applying an attitude of “ours is better
than theirs” to foreign cultures.
