This document discusses cost-output relationships in both the short run and long run. In the short run, costs are analyzed using average fixed cost, average variable cost, and average total cost. Average fixed cost decreases with more output while average variable cost first decreases and then increases. Average total cost initially decreases and then increases. In the long run, all factors of production can be varied. Total cost, average cost, and marginal cost are analyzed. The long run cost curve is derived by combining multiple short run cost curves and joining their tangency points. Long run costs are important for determining optimal scale and size through considering factors like demand forecasts and profits.
The document discusses the Indian ethos and its relevance for management. It provides definitions of ethics and ethos, noting that ethics are universal standards while ethos is specific to a culture or region. It outlines several elements of the Indian ethos, including ego sublimation, sacrificing spirit, and concern for social welfare over material gain. The needs, purpose, and dimensions of work ethos are presented. Indian management is said to emphasize integrated development, inner guidance, and total harmony. The relevance of the Indian ethos is that it can help maintain a holistic universe, focus on welfare, establish a unique work culture and value system, and support self-development and concentration.
The document discusses budgetary control techniques. It defines a budget and budgetary control. The objectives of budgetary control include planning income/expenditure, maximizing profits, providing capital, coordinating activities, evaluating performance, and decentralizing responsibilities. Budgets are classified by function (e.g. sales, production), time (long term, short term, current), and rigidity (fixed, flexible). Techniques for budgetary control include planning-programme budgeting systems, zero-based budgeting, variance analysis, responsibility accounting, fund adjustment, and human resource accounting.
Organizing is the second fundamental function of management that involves determining activities, grouping activities into departments, and assigning authority and responsibility. It establishes the organizational structure of the company. The organizing process consists of identifying and dividing work, grouping related jobs into departments through functional or divisional departmentalization, assigning duties to individuals, and delegating authority along with responsibility and accountability. This establishes reporting relationships and allows the company to operate systematically to accomplish its objectives.
Indian Ethos for Work Life focuses on process-oriented work culture rather than results. It believes in fine-tuning oneself and strategies to achieve goals rather than being attached to results. Indian philosophy teaches Karma Yoga - to prepare and take required action without fear of failure. Indian Ethos also believes in addressing the root cause of problems in a holistic manner like Ayurveda, rather than just treating symptoms. Key principles include self-development, self-management, individual development, service attitude, team spirit, and balance in life. These values can help manage business effectively and efficiently.
Henri Fayol proposed 14 principles of management that provide guidance for managers. The principles include: division of labor, authority and responsibility, unity of command, unity of direction, discipline, remuneration, centralization and decentralization. Fayol believed specialization through dividing work improves efficiency. Managers should balance authority given to subordinates with the responsibilities required of their roles. An organization functions best when workers receive direction from one boss and work is grouped into coordinated activities focused on common goals.
Control is an important management function that involves establishing standards, measuring performance against those standards, comparing the results, and taking corrective actions when needed. Setting plans and structures is not enough to ensure an organization is functioning properly. Control requires planning standards and organizational structures to be effective. The basic control process involves establishing standards based on factors like profitability and productivity. Performance is then measured and compared to the standards to identify any deviations. When deviations are found, corrective actions are taken to realign performance with the plans and standards. Control must be tailored to individual managers and flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances. Barriers to effective control can include overemphasis on short-term goals and increased employee frustration with control activities.

Human resource management involves recruiting the right employees, training and developing their skills, evaluating their performance, and ensuring fair compensation and workplace practices. It aims to maximize employees' talents while meeting business needs. Key aspects of HRM include recruitment and selection, training, performance appraisal, management of trade unions, and employee development. HRM is important as it helps organizations operate cost-effectively, satisfies and retains employees, controls budgets, improves work life quality, and ensures legal compliance with discrimination, safety, and labor laws.
The document discusses several approaches to organizational behavior:
- The scientific management approach focused on making work more efficient through time and motion studies but was criticized for treating workers like machines.
- The bureaucratic approach proposed a standardized structure for all organizations but was criticized for not adapting to different contexts.
- The Hawthorne studies found that social factors like attention improved productivity more than physical work conditions alone.
- Later approaches emphasized the human element, contingencies in different situations, productivity broadly defined, and an interdisciplinary perspective.
Contribution of F.W Taylor (1) (1).pptssuser339828
This document discusses Frederick Winslow Taylor and his theory of scientific management. It provides an overview of Taylor's contributions and principles of scientific management, which included analyzing each job task, breaking work into components, setting productivity goals, and training workers. The document outlines both Taylor's views that management should be scientific and data-driven, as well as common criticisms that this approach dehumanizes workers. It concludes by noting that while scientific management was criticized for being reductionist, many of its tools and techniques to increase efficiency are still used in organizations today.
F.W.Taylor-Father of scientific managementRashmi kavya
Fredrick Winslow Taylor is known as father of scientific Management. A mechanical engineer by occupation, he gave philosophies about optimal use of labor and increase productivity.
Frederick Taylor developed the theory of scientific management in the late 19th/early 20th century based on his experiences as an engineer seeking to improve industrial efficiency. The key aspects of scientific management include standardized work tasks based on time and motion studies, scientific selection and training of workers, functional foremanship with separate planning and implementation roles, and incentive-based differential piece rate wages. The goal is to maximize productivity through eliminating inefficiencies and creating harmony between workers and managers with shared goals of increased efficiency and prosperity.
Management by Objectives (MBO) is a systematic process that involves setting goals and monitoring performance against those goals. The key aspects of MBO include establishing organizational goals and cascading them down to individual employee objectives, developing action plans, periodically reviewing progress, and conducting performance appraisals. MBO aims to improve organizational performance by aligning goals throughout the company and increasing employee motivation through participation in goal setting. For MBO to be effective, it requires clear objectives, management training, feedback, and support from top leadership.
Morale refers to an employee's attitude towards their job, supervisor, and organization. It can range from very high to very low and is affected by factors like job satisfaction, treatment from management, workload, and relationships with coworkers. High morale leads to benefits like increased commitment, loyalty, and productivity while lowering absenteeism and turnover. Morale and productivity have a complex relationship, with high or low levels of both being possible depending on whether individual and group goals are met. Maintaining high morale involves preventative measures like job enrichment and flexible hours, as well as remedial actions when issues arise like clarifying executive responsibilities and focusing on employee-oriented policies and leadership.
This document discusses 5 different methods of wage fixation: 1) Time Rate System, where wages are calculated based on hours or days worked multiplied by an hourly or daily rate. 2) Piece Rate System, where wages are calculated by multiplying the number of units produced by a rate per unit. 3) Balance or Debt Method, where workers are paid the higher of their time rate wages or piece rate earnings each week, with deficits or surpluses carried over to future weeks. 4) Halsey System, where workers are paid their time rate for work completed, plus 50% of their hourly rate for any time saved. 5) Rowan Premium Plan, where a bonus is paid based on time saved multiplied by the ratio of actual
The document discusses various managerial, interpersonal, and negotiation skills. It describes 10 roles managers play according to Mintzberg, including figurehead, leader, and monitor. Interpersonal skills like communication, listening, and conflict resolution are explained. Negotiation involves preparation, discussion, and seeking compromise. The key skills for trainers are technical knowledge, lesson planning, and interpersonal abilities. Marketing requires critical thinking, project management, and a holistic approach. Developing new skills involves communication, adaptability, research, and emotional intelligence.
Frederick Herzberg proposed a two-factor theory of motivation in 1959, finding that certain job factors lead to satisfaction while separate factors prevent dissatisfaction. The theory is based on interviews with engineers and accountants about periods when they were happy or unhappy at work. Herzberg determined that motivational factors like achievement, recognition, and responsibility contribute to job satisfaction, while hygiene factors like company policies and pay only prevent dissatisfaction if absent. The two-factor theory suggests that satisfying higher-order needs through motivational job elements is important for motivation.
This document discusses various group decision making techniques:
- Brainstorming is used to generate many ideas without criticism by building on others' suggestions.
- The Nominal Group Technique involves individually and silently listing ideas which are then discussed without criticism.
- The Delphi Technique gathers experts' judgments anonymously through structured questionnaires to forecast events.
- Devil's Advocacy assigns a role to criticize proposed decisions to avoid mistakes. Electronic meetings allow remote interaction through computers.

Organizational behavior is the study of how individuals and groups act within organizations and how organizations manage their environments. It aims to understand and predict employee behavior, improve productivity, and facilitate change. There are several models of organizational behavior, including autocratic, custodial, supportive, and collegial models. The autocratic model relies on power and obedience, while the custodial model focuses on economic resources and security. The supportive model emphasizes leadership and employee motivation. The collegial model is based on teamwork, shared goals, and self-discipline among team members. Organizational behavior provides insights to help organizations and individuals within them be more effective.
The document discusses stress, its causes, types, and management. It defines stress and outlines its negative and positive effects. Key sources of stress discussed include work, the environment, organizations, and individuals. The document recommends both individual approaches like time management, exercise, and relaxation, as well as organizational approaches to managing stress.
Direct contact, group meetings, and organizational structure are effective means of achieving coordination. Group meetings allow superiors to personally address problems with subordinates and encourage integrated efforts. Coordination requires a clearly defined authority and responsibility for each person. Effective communication also plays a vital role by facilitating the exchange of ideas and information to achieve common goals. Committees can coordinate various activities through developing understanding among members. Staff meetings provide opportunities for discussion to foster unity among employees. Effective leadership reconciles conflicting goals to restore equilibrium and achieve coordination at all stages. Informal coordination through unofficial interactions can also be an effective means of coordination.
This document discusses directing as a managerial process of instructing and guiding employees towards organizational goals. It outlines characteristics of directing like being a continuous activity and following a descending order of hierarchy. Principles of effective directing include maximizing individual contribution and establishing harmony between organizational and individual objectives. Techniques for coordination include direct contact, group meetings, effective communication, committees, and informal coordination.

Organizing involves dividing work into activities and groups, assigning responsibilities, and coordinating efforts to achieve goals. Key aspects of organizing include:
- Dividing work through departments and specialization so individuals gain expertise.
- Coordinating interdependent roles to complete work flowing from one person to the next.
- Establishing authority and responsibility relationships through a management hierarchy with clear reporting lines.
The organizing process involves determining objectives, dividing activities, assigning duties, and delegating authority. An organization structure illustrates these relationships through positions and reporting lines on an organizational chart. Both formal and informal organization structures guide how work gets done through defined and emergent relationships.
1. Communication is an indispensable element in human relationships that enables people to effectively build organizations and societies for survival and better living. Effective communication is important for business success as misunderstandings between management and employees can cause problems.
2. Communication is defined as the purposeful exchange of facts, ideas, opinions, emotions and information between people through common symbols to create a shared understanding. It is a two-way and continuous process involving the transmission and understanding of messages between two or more individuals.
3. Key objectives of communication in business include conveying the right messages, establishing coordination between departments, developing managerial and employee skills, maintaining good industrial relations, ensuring policies are effectively implemented, and facilitating effective planning and decision-
LESSON 1-INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIZATIONS.pptxgarashijuma
An organization is a group of people working together towards common goals. There are two main concepts of organization - the static concept which views an organization as a structure or network, and the dynamic concept which sees it as an ongoing process. Key characteristics of organizations include division of work, coordination, common objectives, and defined authority-responsibility relationships. Organizational structures can be functional, divisional, matrix, or flat depending on how work is grouped and divided.
Organizing is the second function of management and involves assigning tasks, grouping tasks into departments, and allocating resources. Managers must address basic organizing elements like designing jobs, grouping jobs, and establishing reporting relationships. Organizing provides benefits like increased productivity, division of labor, and clarity of expectations. It allows managers to improve effectiveness by obtaining the right resources and organizing people toward objectives, as well as improve efficiency through productive resource combinations.

The document discusses formal and informal organization structures. It defines formal organization as having a predefined hierarchy, policies, and procedures. Features include job specialization and division of work. Benefits are clear objectives and communication. Limitations include loss of initiative. Informal organization arises from social needs and has no set structure. It promotes communication and creativity but can cause role conflicts. The contingency theory states an organization's structure depends on factors like the environment and people. Both formal and informal structures should be integrated to reduce conflicts and use informal channels for information sharing.
group communication and group discussionswidan 1455
Group communication involves interaction between 3-20 people to exchange messages and potentially influence each other. It has components like interdependence on each other, being context-specific, dynamic over time as members learn, needing shared goals and norms, and providing feedback. Types of group communication include verbal discussion, technology-driven collaboration, non-verbal cues, in-person interaction, and virtual meetings. Group discussions aim to arrive at a conclusion through members' participation on a planned topic, and have advantages like diverse perspectives but also challenges like uneven participation.
The document discusses organization and defines it as a collection of people working together to achieve common goals. It discusses how organization involves dividing work, coordinating people, and establishing relationships and authority. Organization is seen as the process of structuring work and responsibilities to facilitate goal attainment. There are two main types of organization - formal and informal. Formal organization refers to the official rules and hierarchies that define relationships and responsibilities. Informal organization refers to the unofficial social relationships that form between people. The document provides details on both types of organization, their advantages and disadvantages.
This document discusses communication skills and the communication process.
