William Ouchi proposed Theory Z, which combines American and Japanese management styles. Theory Z emphasizes long-term employment, consensual decision-making, individual responsibility balanced with group responsibility, and holistic concern for employees. It aims to improve employee satisfaction, commitment and company performance by incorporating aspects of Japanese-style management while retaining American individualism. Theory Z has seen mixed results in implementation and has received some criticism.
According to Human Relations Approach, management is the Study of behaviour of people at work.
This approach had its origin in a series of experiments conducted by Professor Elton Mayo and his associates at the Harvard School of Business at the Western Electric Company’s Hawthorne Works, near Chicago.
These studies brought out for the first time the important relationships between social factors and productivity. Before it, productivity of the employees was considered to be a function only of physical conditions of work and money wages paid to them. For the first time it was realised that productivity depended largely upon the satisfaction of the employees in work situations.
Following the Howthrone Experiments, a great deal of work has been carried on by behavioural scientists belonging to a variety of disciplines including Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology in studying the behaviour of people at work.
Those who subscribe to the Human Relations School of Thought are of the view that the effectiveness of any organisation depends on the quality of relationships among the people working in the organisation.
So, according to them, the managers must concern themselves with an analysis of organisational behaviour, that is, interaction of people with the organisation. The basic assumption of this school still remains that the goals of the organisation are achieved through and with the people.
Apart from the study of formal organisation and techniques used by such organisations, this school studies the psychological processes in the organisations, informal organisations, conflict, change, motivation and relationships, and the various techniques of achieving organisational development by improving the relationships among the various groups of people constituting the organisation and its internal environment.
Thus, it may be said that this school concentrates on people and their behaviour within the formal and informal organisations.
Behavioral theories assert that people can learn how to become leaders through teaching and observation. As a reaction to the trait theories, the behavioral theories looks not at the traits and abilities of leaders, but their behavior.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

2. Theory Z
• Theory Z has been called a sociological description of the humanistic
organizations
• “Theory Z is an approach to management based upon a combination of
American and Japanese management philosophies”. Proponents of Theory
Z suggest that it leads to improvements in organizational performance.
• The following sections highlights;
1. The definition of Theory Z
2. The Maker – William G. Ouchi
3. The History of Theory Z
4. American Management V/s Japanese Management .
5. Transformation.
6. Features
7. An evaluation of Theory Z.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
3. 1. The Japanese management style popularized in the 1980s that assumes
employees have an interest in good working relationships with
management and other employees. Management generally has high
confidence in employees, who are encouraged to participate in the
management decision making. Employees are viewed as long-term assets
who will stay with the same firm throughout their careers.
2. Japanese consensus management style based on the assumptions
that (1) employees want to build cooperative relationships with
their employers, peers, and other employees in the firms; for this
they (2) require high degree of support in the form of secure
employment and facilities for development of multiple skills
through training and job rotation, (3) they value family life, culture
and traditions, and social institutions as much as material success,
(4) they have well-developed sense of dedication, moral
obligations, and self-discipline, and (5) they can make collective
decisions through consensus.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
4. William G. Ouchi
American professor and author in the field of business
management.
B.A.- Williams College.
MBA- Stanford University.
Ph.D. in Business Administration- The University of
Chicago.
Stanford business school professor for 8 years.
First book in 1981 -“Theory Z: How American
Management Can Meet the Japanese Challenge” .
Second book- The M Form Society: How American
Teamwork Can Recapture the Competitive Edge
Ouchi also came up with his three approaches to control
in an organization's management:
1. Market control.
2. Bureaucratic control.
3. Clan control.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory
Z
5. "Theory Z." can be traced to the work of Douglas McGregor in the 1950s and 1960s.
Theory X ('authoritarian management' style)
Features:
The average person dislikes work and will avoid it he/she can.
Therefore most people must be forced with the threat of punishment to work towards organizational
objectives.
The average person prefers to be directed; to avoid responsibility; is relatively unambitious, and wants
security above all else.
Theory Y ('participative management' style)
Features:
Effort in work is as natural as work and play.
People will apply self-control and self-direction in the pursuit of organizational objectives, without extern
control or the threat of punishment.
Commitment to objectives is a function of rewards associated with their achievement.
People usually accept and often seek responsibility.
The capacity to use a high degree of imagination, ingenuity and creativity in solving organizational
problems is widely, not narrowly, distributed in the population.
In industry the intellectual potential of the average person is only partly utilized.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
6. In the 1970s and 1980s, many U.S industries lost market share to
international competitors, particularly Japanese companies.
• Ouchi contrasted American types of organizations (Type A) that were
rooted in the United States' tradition of individualism with Japanese
organizations (Type J) that drew upon the Japanese heritage of
collectivism.
• Modified American approach to management with the best
characteristics of Japanese organizations while retaining aspects of
management that are deeply rooted in U.S. traditions of individualism.
• Ouchi proposed that a Theory Z management approach could lead to;
1. Greater employee job satisfaction
2. Lower rates of absenteeism and turnover
3. Higher quality products
4.Better overall financial performance for U.S. firms.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
7. Differences between American and Japanese
Management Practices
American Organizations Japanese Organizations
Short-term employment Lifetime employment
Individual decision making Collective decision making

Rapid evaluation & promotion Slow evaluation & promotion
Explicit control mechanisms Implicit control mechanisms

8. 12 strategies to transform a typical American company, named as
type A company to type Z company.
1. Skeptics have to be allowed to exist.
2. Audit its philosophy.
3. Define desired philosophy and be able to involve company leaders.
4. Create structure and incentive in the company.
5. Develop interpersonal skills.
6. Test themselves and the system.
7. Stabilize employment.
8. Slow evaluation and promotion.
9. Broaden the people’s career paths.
10. Working into the lower level.
11. Employee participation is allowed in decision making.
12. Create a sense of family between everyone.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
9. LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT
CONSENSUAL DECISION MAKING
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
SLOW EVALUATION AND PROMOTION
INFORMAL CONTROL WITH FORMALIZED MEASURES
MODERATELY SPECIALIZED CAREER PATH
HOLISTIC CONCERN
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
10. LONG-TERM EMPLOYMENT
Type Z organizations generally make life-long commitments to
their employees and expect loyalty in return, but Type Z
organizations set the conditions to encourage this. This promotes
stability in the organization and job security among employees.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
11. CONSENSUAL DECISION MAKING
The Type Z organization emphasizes communication, collaboration, and
consensus in decision making
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
12. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
Type Z organizations retain the emphasis on individual
contributions that are characteristic of most American firms by
recognizing individual achievements, albeit within the context of
the wider group.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
13. SLOW EVALUATION AND PROMOTION
The Type Z organization, conversely, adopts the model of slow
evaluation and promotion.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
14. INFORMAL CONTROL WITH FORMALIZED MEASURES
The Type Z organization relies on informal methods of control, but
does measure performance through formal mechanisms. This is an
attempt to combine elements of both the Type A and Type J
organizations.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
15. MODERATELY SPECIALIZED CAREER
PATH
The Type Z organization adopts a middle-of-the-road posture, with
career paths that are less specialized than the traditional U.S. model but
more specialized than the traditional Japanese model.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
16. HOLISTIC CONCERN
The Type Z organization is characterized by concern for employees that
goes beyond the workplace. This philosophy is more consistent with the
Japanese model than the U.S. model.
Principles of Management - Ouchi's Theory Z
