The Foundations Of Modern Management
Modern management had its roots in the Industrial Revolution Machine replaced human labor Business boomed At that time the Question was? how to manage these new and large organizations? They referred to exiting org. Such as military and religious for quidance. Organizations had central decision making, rigid chains of command, specialized divisions of work and autocratic leadership And there were no universities, business schools , management principles, management gurus, and management textbooks!!!

CLASSICAL SCHOOL OF MGMT EMERGED
As the companies grew, and as competition became more intense, managers needed new ways to cut costs and boost efficiency People needed better management theories and so the classical school of management emerged Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
22
The Classical and Scientific School
Frederick Taylor –Classical management writer (first writer)in the early 1900s He developed management principles and practices-scientific management Taylor’s basic theme was that manages should scientifically study how work was done in order to identify the one best way” to get the job done. Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
23
His four principles were;
1. Must find the “one best way” to perform the job, (through observe other managers in different activities) 2. Scientific selection of personnel (Know their limitations, capacity for development, find the best fit and train them ) 3. Financial incentives (selecting the right employee was not enough and he proposed incentive system based on performance (based on progress)) 4. Functional Foremanships-specialized experts proposed division of work ;managers planning, preparing, inspecting and employees did the actual work Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
24
In 1920s business environment changed
People moved from farms to cities and become more depend on each other (social) Jobs became more specialized and interdependent Government become more involved in economic matters Reformers established minimum wage and encouraging trade unions Hard work , individualism and maximizing profit questioned?-building blocks of classical mgmt!

The Foundations Of Modern Management (cont’d)
The Behavioral School (to design the most specialized and efficient job you can) The Hawthorne plant Studies-in 1927 (Western Electric Co) Harvard university researchers isolated employees and they change lunch brakes, ventilation , lightning etc Researchers found it was the social situations of the workers, not just the working conditions, that influenced behavior at work. performance depend on other factors than rate of pay and working conditions Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
26
Hawthorne effect and changing environment
The researchers discover that the employees were feeling themselves special under observation-called Hawthorne effect! Employees behavior at work can not be programmed Companies started to make more R&D activities diversify and increase their product lines(produce different products) forced them to set up separate divisions and empower lower level managers Motivate their employees Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
27
The Human Relations Movement
Because of the Hawthorne findings and the other social changes taking place after World War II, managers started taking a much more people oriented approach to managing employees workers were not just “givens” in the system. Workers have needs and desires that organizations have to accommodate. Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.
28
Douglas McGregor: Theory X and Theory Y
Theory X (he collected classical organization assumptions) Most people dislike work and responsibility and prefer to be directed. They are motivated not by the desire to do a good job, but simply by financial incentives. Most people must be closely supervised, controlled, and coerced into achieving organizational objectives.

29
Douglas McGregor: Theory X and Theory Y (cont’d)
He pointed that Theory X does not work anymore Managements need new organizations and practices to deal with diversification, decentralization and participative decision making Theory Y People wanted to work hard. People could enjoy work. People could exercise substantial self-control. Managers could trust employees if managers treated them right. Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

The Quantitative/Management Science School
The Management Science Approach Operations Research/ Management Science Seeks optimal solutions to management problems through research and the use of scientific analysis and tools. (e.g.) Industrial engineers solve inventory control problems. Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall. All rights reserved.

The Situational/Contingency School
Contingency View of Management. The organization and how its managers should manage it are contingent on the company’s environment and on technology. Tom Burns and G. M. Stalker in 1960 analyzed several firms in UK and found two approaches Mechanistic management approach-best for organizations with long stable production runs Organic organizations-best for flexible organizations which survives in highly competitive environment Copyright © 2004 Prentice Hall.

Today’s Management Environment
Globalization The tendency of firms to extend their sales, ownership, and/or manufacturing to new markets abroad.(Toyota, Dell-China, Pepsi Cyprus, NAFTA, EU…) More globalisation means more competition and more competition means more pressure to improve - to lower costs, to make employees more productive and to do things better and less expensive. Technological Advances The “digital revolution”!! (factory jobs becoming more technologically demanding) Knowledge incentive high-tech manufacturing jobs in such industries as aerospace, computers, telecommunications, … Employment moving from manual to knowledge workers.
