Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. It is the process of reaching organizational goals by working with and
through people and other organizational resources.
2. This involves choosing tasks that must be performed to attain
organizational goals, to outline how the tasks must be performed and to
indicate when they should performed.
3. It involves the act assigning of tasks, people within the organization are
given work assignments that contribute to the attainment of the goals.
4. It involves leading by guiding the activities of the organization members
towards the fulfillment of the goals.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF MANAGEMENT
•Ancient Management
• There are many examples from past history that illustrate
how management has been practiced for thousands of
years.
• A. The Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall of China
are good examples of projects of tremendous scope and
magnitude that employed tens of thousands of people.
How was it possible for these projects to be completed?
The answer is management.

19.
20. The theory of scientific management
Using scientific methods to define the “one
best way” for a job to be done:
1. Putting the right person on the job
with the correct tools and equipment.
2. Having a standardized method of
doing the job.
3. Providing an economic incentive to
the worker.
23. Taylor sought to create a mental
revolution among both workers and
managers by defining clear
guidelines for improving production
efficiency. He
defined four principles of
management
24. 2–24
E TAYLOR’S FOUR PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
1. Develop a science for each element of an individual’s work, which will replace
the old rule-of-thumb method.
28. Scientific
Management
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth
were inspired by Taylor’s
work and went on to study
and develop their own
methods of scientific
management.
29. Scientific Management
a. Frank Gilbreth is probably best known for
his experiments in reducing the number of
motions in bricklaying.
30. Scientific
Management
b. The Gilbreths were
among the first to use
motion
picture films to study hand
and body motions in order
to eliminate the wasteful
ones.
31. Scientific Management
c. They also devised a
classification scheme to
label
17/18 basic hand motions
called therbligs.Therbligs are 18 kinds of
elemental motions used in the
study of motion economy in the
workplace. A workplace task is
analyzed by recording each of
the therblig units for a process,
with the results used for
optimization of manual labour by
32.
33. Guidelines devised by Taylor and others to
improve production efficiency are still used in
today’s organizations. However, current
management practice is not restricted to scientific
management practices alone. Elements of
scientific management still used include:
1. Using time and motion studies
2. Hiring best qualified workers
3. Designing incentive systems based on output
34. 2. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE
THEORISTS
This group of writers, who focused on the
entire organization, developed more
general theories of what managers do
and what constitutes good management
practice.
35. Henri Fayol and Max
Weber were the two
most prominent
proponents of the
general administrative
approach.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE THEORISTS
36. Fayol focused on
activities common to
all managers. He
described the practice
of management as
distinct from other
typical business
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE THEORISTS
37. Fayol stated 14 principles of management which are as
follows:
1. Division of Work
2. Authority
3. Discipline
4. Unity of Command
5. Unity of Direction
6. Subordination of individual interest to group interest
7. Remuneration
8. Centralization
9. Scalar Chain
10. Order
11. Equity
12. Stability
13. Initiative
14. Espirit de corps
38. DIVISION OF WORK: Work should be divided among
individuals and groups to ensure that effort and attention
are focused on special portions of the task. Fayol
presented work specialization as the best way to use the
human resources of the organization.
39. AUTHORITY: The concepts of Authority and responsibility
are closely related. Authority was defined by Fayol as the
right to give orders and the power to exact obedience.
Responsibility involves being accountable, and is therefore
naturally associated with authority. Whoever assumes
authority also assumes responsibility.
43. SUBORDINATION OF
INDIVIDUAL
INTERESTS TO THE
GENERAL
INTERESTS: The
interests of one person
should not take priority
over the interests of the
organization as a
44. REMUNERATION:
Many variables, such
as cost of living, supply
of qualified personnel,
general business
conditions, and
success of the
business, should be
considered in
determining a worker’s
45. CENTRALIZATION: Fayol defined centralization as
lowering the importance of the subordinate role.
Decentralization is increasing the importance. The
degree to which centralization or decentralization
should be adopted depends on the specific
organization in which the manager is working.
46. SCALAR CHAIN: Managers in hierarchies are part of a chain
like authority scale. Each manager, from the first line supervisor
to the president, possess certain amounts of authority. The
President possesses the most authority; the first line supervisor
the least. Lower level managers should always keep upper level
managers informed of their work activities. The existence of a
scalar chain and adherence to it are necessary if the
organization is to be successful.
47. ORDER: For the
sake of efficiency and
coordination, all
materials and people
related to a specific
kind of work should
be treated as equally
as possible.
49. STABILITY OF TENURE
OF PERSONNEL:
Retaining productive
employees should always
be a high priority of
management.
Recruitment and
Selection Costs, as well
as increased product-
reject rates are usually
associated with hiring
52. Max Weber was a German sociologist
who developed a theory of authority
structures and described
organizational activity based on
authority relations.
53. He described the ideal form of organization as a
bureaucracy marked by division of labor, a clearly
defined hierarchy, detailed rules and regulations,
and impersonal relationships
54.
55. 3) QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TO
MANAGEMENT
The quantitative approach to management,
sometimes known as operations research or
management science, uses quantitative techniques
to improve decision making.
56. Operations research,
or operational research in
British usage, is a
discipline that deals with
the application of
advanced analytical
methods to help make
better decisions.
management science. management
science. The study of statistical
methods, such as linear programming
and simulation, in order to analyze
and solve organizational problems.
Same as operations research.
57. This approach includes
a. applications of statistics
b. optimization models
c. computer simulations of
management activities.
Linear programming - improves
resource allocation
decisions
Critical-path scheduling analysis -

scheduling
58. The field of study concerned with the
actions (behaviors) of people at work
is organizational behavior.
Organizational behavior (OB)
research has contributed much of
what we know about human
resources management and
contemporary views of motivation,
leadership, trust, teamwork, and
4) ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR
59. Early Advocates of OB
Four people stand out as early
advocates of the OB approach.
These include Robert Owen,
Hugo Munsterberg, Mary Parker
Follett, and Chester
Barnard.
60. 1. Robert Owen, a successful
Scottish businessman, proposed a
utopian workplace.
Early Advocates of OB
61. 2. Hugo Munsterberg -created the field of
industrial psychology—the scientific study of
individuals at work to maximize their
productivity and 2 – 16 adjustment.
62. 3. Mary Parker Follett -was a social
philosopher who thought the manager’s job
was to harmonize and coordinate group
efforts.
63. 4. Chester Barnard, president of New Jersey Bell Telephone
Company, saw organizations as social systems that required
human cooperation.
a. He believed that managers’ major roles were to communicate
and stimulate subordinates to high levels of effort.
b. He also introduced the idea that managers have to examine the
environment and then adjust the organization to maintain a state of
equilibrium.
64. This series of experiments conducted from 1924 to the
early 1930s at Western Electric Company’s Hawthorne
Works in Cicero, Illinois, were initially devised as a
scientific management experiment to assess the impact of
changes in various physical environment variables on
employee productivity.
The Hawthorne Studies were the most important
contribution to the development of organizational
behavior.
65. After Harvard professor
Elton Mayo and his
associates joined the study
as consultants, other
experiments were included
to look at redesigning jobs,
make changes in workday
and workweek length,
introduce rest periods, and
introduce individual versus
66. The researchers concluded that social norms or group
standards were key determinants of individual work
behavior.
Although not without criticism (concerning procedures,
analyses of findings, and the conclusions), the Hawthorne
Studies stimulated interest in human behavior in
organizational settings.
In the present day context behavioral approach assists
managers in designing jobs that motivate workers, in
working with employee teams, and in facilitating the flow
of communication within organizations. The behavioral
approach
provides the foundation for current theories of motivation,
67. 5) THE SYSTEMS APPROACH
During the 1960s researchers
began to analyze organizations
from a systems perspective
based on the physical sciences.
A system is a set of interrelated
and interdependent parts
arranged in a manner that
produces a unified whole. The
two basic types of systems are
open and closed. A closed
system is not
influenced by and does not
interact with its environment. An
open system interacts with its
68.
69. 6) THE CONTINGENCY APPROACH
The contingency approach recognizes that
different organizations require different ways of
managing. The contingency approach to
management is a view that the organization
recognizes and responds to situational variables
as they arise
70. Globalization:
Organizational operations
are no longer limited by
national borders.
Managers throughout the
world must deal with new
opportunities and challenges
inherent in the globalization
of business.
CURRENT TRENDS AND ISSUES
The following are the current concepts and practices are
changing the way managers do their jobs today.
71. Ethics: Cases of corporate lying, misrepresentations, and financial
manipulations have been widespread in recent years. Managers of firms
such as Enron, ImClone, Global Crossing, and Tyco International have
placed their own self-interest ahead of other stakeholders’ welfare. While
most managers continue to behave in a highly ethical manner, abuses
suggest a need to “upgrade” ethical standards. Ethics education is
increasingly emphasized in college curricula today. Organizations are taking
a more active role in creating and using codes of ethics, ethics training
programs, and ethical hiring procedures.
72. Workforce diversity: It refers to a workforce that is
heterogeneous in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, age, and
other characteristics that reflect differences.
Accommodating diverse groups of people by addressing
different lifestyles, family needs, and work styles is a major
challenge for today’s managers.
73. Entrepreneurship: It is the process whereby an
individual or group of individuals use organized efforts to
pursue opportunities to create value and grow by fulfilling
wants and needs through innovation and uniqueness, no
matter what resources the entrepreneur currently has.
74. Managing in an E-Business World: E-business
(electronic business) is a comprehensive term describing
the way an organization does its work by using
electronic (Internet-based) linkages with its key
constituencies in order to efficiently and effectively
achieve its goals.
75. Knowledge Management and Learning Organizations:
Change is occurring at an unprecedented rate. To be
successful, today’s organization must become a learning
organization—one that has developed the capacity to
continuously learn, adapt, and change.
Knowledge management involves cultivating a learning
culture where organizational members systematically
gather knowledge and share it with others in the
organization so as to achieve better performance.
76. Quality Management: Quality management is a
philosophy of management that is driven by
continual improvement and response to customer
needs and expectations. The objective of quality
management is to create an organization
committed to continuous improvement in work.
