Though the company survived the Great Depression, technological changes such as plastic were emerging. By 1938 the company started making plastic baby pants to cover nappies, just as featherbone demand fell. As the company’s history shows, an organisation’s environment is crucial and organisations must be ready to change and innovate.

Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–14 ANALYSING THE ENVIRONMENT Perspectives on environment: Population ecology model Argues that environmental factors cause organisations to survive or fail Resource dependence model Highlights the dependence of organisations on environment but attempts to manipulate the environment to reduce this dependence
15
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–15 ANALYSING THE ENVIRONMENT RECONCILING THE TWO MODELS Managers find both models useful: The population ecology model shows that organisations have little control over environmental factors and that success may be based on luck. The resource dependence model shows that managers can influence environmental aspects, therefore they must monitor, understand and influence. They must realise that major organisational impacts can come from unexpected elements.
16
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–16 ANALYSING THE ENVIRONMENT Environment characteristics: Uncertainty Condition in which future environmental circumstances affecting an organisation cannot be accurately assessed and predicted Complexity Number of elements in an organisation’s environment and their degree of similarity
17
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–17 ANALYSING THE ENVIRONMENT Dynamism Rate and predictability of change in the elements of an organisation’s environment Bounty Extent to which the environment can support sustained growth and stability
18
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–18 MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT Three approaches to managing the environment: Adaptation Involves changing internal operations & activities to make the organisation and its environment more compatible Favourability influence Involves trying to alter environmental elements to make them more compatible with the organisation’s needs Domain shifting Changing product/service mix to create favourable interface
19
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–19 ADAPTATION Buffering Stockpiling either inputs into, or outputs from, a production or service process to cope with environmental fluctuations Smoothing Taking actions aimed at reducing the impact of fluctuations, given the market Forecasting Predicting changing conditions & future events that significantly affect an organisation’s business Rationing Providing limited access to a product or service in high demand
20
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–20 FAVOURABILITY INFLUENCE Advertising & public relations Boundary spanning Recruiting Negotiating contracts Co-opting Strategic alliances Trade associations Political activity

22
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–22 INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT Nature of organisational culture: ‘A system of shared values, assumptions, beliefs and norms uniting organisational members’ (Smircich 1983; Kilman et al. 1986). ‘The way we do things around here.’ The ‘glue’ binding the disparate parts (or the oil that keeps them moving). The interpretive part of organisational behaviour: it explains, gives direction, sustains energy, commitment, and cohesion.
23
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–23 MANIFESTATIONS OF CULTURE Symbols Objects, acts, events or qualities serving as a vehicle for conveying meaning Stories Narratives based on true events, which may be embellished to highlight intended value Rites Relatively elaborate, dramatic, planned sets of activities intended to convey cultural values to participants and, usually, an audience Ceremonials Systems of rites performed in conjunction with a single occasion or event
24
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–24 PROMOTING INNOVATION Strategic Focused on identifying opportunities Committed to seizing opportunities Willing to make major, fast changes Commitment of resources Many stages with risk assessed for each stage Control of resources Rental or outsourcing of resources for flexibility Management structure Few levels, with informal communication
25
Copyright 2005 McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd PPTs t/a Management: A Pacific Rim Focus 4e by Bartol, Tein, Matthews, Martin 3–25 CHANGING ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE Because they involve fairly stable values, beliefs and assumptions, organisations can be difficult to change.
