Lean manufacturing - Summary on Barriers and Improvement NeededRagunath Muniandy
The document discusses lean manufacturing and some of the common barriers to its successful implementation. It notes that while lean tools can help optimize productivity, the key is adopting a lean mindset and culture through organizational support and continuous improvement efforts. Some common mistakes include overfocusing on tools rather than principles, implementing changes without planning, and not setting clear targets. Cultural differences between countries can also impact lean efforts if not properly accounted for. Overall success requires understanding lean thinking at all levels and establishing processes to sustain improvements.
Strategic management is the process of specifying an organization's objectives, developing policies to achieve those objectives, and allocating resources to implement the policies. It involves environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. Strategic decisions are made at the corporate, business unit, and functional levels. Strategic intent is reflected through an organization's vision, mission, objectives, and goals. The strategic management process involves analyzing the environment, identifying strategic alternatives, choosing a strategy, implementing it, and evaluating performance. Mintzberg proposed that strategies can emerge through deliberate planning or as patterns from actions and decisions over time.
The document discusses different levels of strategy - corporate, business, and functional. At the corporate level, strategies define the overall direction and objectives of a company. Common corporate strategies include stability, growth, retrenchment, and combination strategies. Business level strategies determine how a company will compete in each business unit, such as through cost leadership, differentiation, or market focus. Functional level strategies improve effectiveness within departments like manufacturing, marketing, and human resources.
The document outlines a strategic management model that includes four main stages: strategic intent, formulation, implementation, and evaluation.

1) Managing change in organizations is difficult but necessary for survival in today's global economy. Change allows companies to adapt and remain competitive.
2) Organizational development is a planned, organization-wide effort to increase effectiveness through interventions in processes using behavioral science. It involves altering purposes, culture, structure and processes in response to internal or external changes.
3) For organizational development to be successful, managers must clearly define goals and objectives, develop a plan, allocate resources, and communicate a shared vision throughout the entire organization. Assessing needs helps identify solutions and opportunities for growth.
Environmental scanning involves monitoring internal and external environments to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Corporate governance involves relationships between management, directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders that determine how company objectives are set and performance is monitored. A strategic business unit is a division large enough to control most factors affecting its performance but small enough to be flexible. The balanced scorecard measures performance across learning/growth, business processes, customers, and finance.
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.

Read attachedpages about 3-M and their approach to innovation
Research one of 3M’s innovations.
Write a full two page paper in which you respond to the following questions:
1. How did the creative thinking process work in the development of this product? Describe what took place in each of the four steps.
2. Analyze what type of innovation this was—invention, extension, duplication, or synthesis. What characteristics of the innovation have led you to this conclusion?
3. Explain which of the sources of innovative ideas discussed in this week’s reading help account for this product’s success and why?
Include a minimum of two sources
The Entrepreneurial Mind-Set in Organizations: Corporate Entrepreneurship
Thus, 3M’s philosophy was born. Innovation is a numbers game: The more ideas, the better the chances for a successful innovation. In other words, to master innovation, companies must have a tolerance for failure. This philosophy has paid off for 3M. Antistatic videotape, trans- lucent dental braces, synthetic ligaments for knee surgery, heavy-duty reflective sheeting for construction signs, and, of course, Post-it notes are just some of the great innovations devel- oped by the organization. Overall, the company has a catalog of 60,000 products.40
Today, 3M follows a set of innovative rules that encourages employees to foster ideas. The key rules include the following:
•
Don’t kill a project. If an idea can’t find a home in one of 3M’s divisions, a staffer can devote 15 percent of his or her time to prove it is workable. For those who need seed money, as many as 90 Genesis grants of $50,000 are awarded each year.
• Tolerate failure. Encouraging plenty of experimentation and risk taking allows more chances for a new product hit. The goal: Divisions must derive 25 percent of sales from products introduced in the past five years. The target may be boosted to 30 percent in some cases.
• Keep divisions small. Division managers must know each staffer’s first name. When a division gets too big, perhaps reaching $250 million to $300 million in sales, it is split up.
• Motivate the champions. When a 3M employee has a product idea, he or she recruits an action team to develop it. Salaries and promotions are tied into the product’s progress. The champion has a chance to someday run his or her own product group or division.
• Stay close to the customer. Researchers, marketers, and managers visit with customers and routinely invite them to help brainstorm product ideas.
•
Share the wealth. Technology, wherever it is developed, belongs to everyone.41 3-4c structuring the Work environment
Structuring the Work environment
When establishing the drive to innovate in today’s corporations, one of the most critical steps is to invest heavily in an innovative environment. A top-level manager’s job is to create a work environment that is highly conducive to innovation and entrepreneurial behaviors. Within such an environment, each employee has the opport ...
The document discusses the hierarchy of objectives in an organization. It states that objectives range from broad aims at the top level to specific individual objectives. The top level sets the overall goals of the organization to contribute to society's welfare by providing good quality products and services. There is debate around whether objectives should be set top-down or bottom-up, with trade-offs to both approaches. The document also provides examples of common objectives like innovation, management development, productivity, market share, and profit.
Fayol outlines 14 principles of management including division of work, authority, discipline, unity of command, and unity of direction. Management involves planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling. Drucker expanded on this with his concept of management by objectives which involves cascading goals throughout an organization and evaluating performance against specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound objectives.
The document discusses various aspects of planning including purposes of planning, types of plans, factors affecting planning, and contingency planning. It also discusses strategic management including different levels of strategy, the strategic management process, and frameworks for corporate and business level strategies like the BCG matrix, Miles and Snow's adaptive strategies, and Porter's competitive strategies.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
