This chapter discusses people and organizations. It covers human resource assumptions, human needs, and theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y. It also discusses how traditional management can cause conflict between people and organizations. Additionally, it examines the changing employment contract and the dilemma of whether organizations should be "lean and mean" or invest in developing their workforce. In conclusion, the key is aligning what people and organizations need from each other, and there is a dilemma between cutting costs or investing in talent.

Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense
- Profiting from Evidence-Based Management
By Jeffrey Pfeffer & Robert I Sutton
Harvard Business School Press, 2006
Too many business adages are built on flimsy information. When decisions are based on
dubious knowledge, the consequences can be catastrophic. This book by highly respected
scholars, Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton explains how better evidence can be used in
business to generate superior results. Evidence based management enables business
leaders to face the hard facts and act on the best evidence.
Introduction
Business decisions are often based on hope or fear, what others seem to be doing, what
senior leaders have done and believe has worked in the past and strong ideologies. Hard
facts and strong evidence do not seem to back many decisions. It is time that companies
and leaders rooted their decisions in solid evidence to ensure optimal utilization of
resources. The authors relate poor decision practices with a number of examples. Then
they explain how evidence based management can be used profitably.
Poor Decision Practices
Poor decision making practices can be seen across organizations. Take benchmarking.
The approach to benchmarking seems to be fairly casual, with some rare exceptions.
More often than not, companies tend to copy the most obvious, visible and frequently
least important practices. The underlying culture or business philosophy of the company
against which benchmarking is being done is not given enough importance.
Companies tend to repeat what has worked for them in the past. By all means, learning
from experience and mastery through practice can be useful. But this kind of an
approach can backfire when the new situation is different from the past and the lessons
learnt in the past may have been wrong or incomplete in the first place.
Managers also tend to be unduly influenced by deeply held ideologies and beliefs.
Beliefs rooted in ideology or in cultural values are quite sticky. They resist disconfirming
evidence.
Evidence based management
Evidence based management assumes that using deeper, better logic and employing
facts rather than assumptions or guesses leads to better decisions. Such an approach
advocates going by hard facts about what works and what does not. Even when
companies have little data, there are many things, they can do to rely more on evidence
2
and logic and less on guesswork, fear, belief or hope. For example, qualitative data
collected from field trips can be used.
Implementing evidence based management requires a mindset change. Facts and
evidence are great levelers of hierarchy. Resistance to evidence based management
comes when it changes power dynamics, replacing formal authority, reputation and
intuition with data. Another problem is that delivering bad news does not win us friends.
We like to deliver good news because that is .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. People and Organizations
Human Resource Assumptions
Human Needs
What Needs do People Have?
Theory X and Theory Y
Personality and Organization
Human Capacity and the Changing Employment
Contract
Lean and Mean: More Benefits than Costs?
Investing in People
3. Human Resource Assumptions
Organizations exist to serve human needs
People and organizations need each other
When the fit between individual and system is
poor, one or both suffer
A good fit benefits both
4. Human Needs
The concept of “need” is controversial
Economists: people’s willingness to trade
dissimilar items disproves usefulness of concept
Psychologists: need, or motive is a useful way to
talk about enduring preferences for some
experiences compared to others
Needs are a product of both nature and
nurture
Genes determine initial trajectory
Experience and learning profoundly influence
preferences
5. Maslow’s Need Hierarchy
Needs arrayed in a hierarchy
Lower needs are “pre-
potent”
Higher needs become
more important after
lower are satisfied
Maslow’s hierarchy:
Self-actualization
Esteem
Belongingness, love
Safety
Physiological
6. McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y
Theory X
Workers are passive and
lazy
Prefer to be led
Resist change
Theory Y
Management’s basis task
is to ensure that workers
meet their important
needs while they work
Either theory can be self-
fulfilling prophesy
7. Argyris: Personality and Organization
Traditional management principles produce conflict
between people and organizations
Task specialization produces narrow, boring jobs that
require few skills
Directive leadership makes workers dependent and
treats them like children
Workers adapt to frustration:
Withdraw – absenteeism or quitting
Become passive, apathetic
Resist top-down control through deception,
featherbedding, or sabotage
Climb the hierarchy
Form groups (such as labor unions)
Train children to believe work is unrewarding
8. Human Capacity and the Changing
Employment Contract
Handy – Shamrock form
Core group of managers
Basic workforce – part-time or on shifts to increase
organization’s flexibility
Contractual fringe – temps, independent contractors
Lean and mean (win by cutting costs): downsize,
outsource, hire temps and contractors
Invest in people (win with talent): build competent,
well-trained work force
Shift from production economy to information
economy produces skill gaps
9. Conclusion
Organizations need people and people
need organizations, but the trick is to align
their needs
Dilemma: lean and mean vs. invest in
people
10. Conclusion
