Concept of Management contd
"Management is an art of knowing what is to be done and seeing that it is done in the best possible manner." (planning and controlling) F.W. Taylor (father of scientific management) "Management is to forecast, to plan, to organize, to command, to coordinate and control activities of others." Henri Fayol (father of modern management) "Management is the process by which co-operative group directs actions towards common goals." Joseph Massie "Management is that process by which managers create, direct, maintain and operate purposive organisation through systematic, coordinated and cooperative human efforts." McFarland

Management as an Art Management can be an art in the sense that it has the following characteristics: The knowledge should be learned and practiced, just as medical or legal practitioners practice their respective sciences. The manager gains experience by continuous application of management knowledge and facing new experiences. This helps to develop more skills and abilities for translating knowledge into practice. Application calls for innovativeness and creativity. The fourth reason is that in many situations, theoretical knowledge of management may not be adequate or relevant for solving the problem. It may be because of complexity or unique nature of the problem.
10
Management as a Science
Management as a science has the following characteristics: Its principles, generalizations and concepts are systematic. In this case the manager can manage the situation or organization in a systematic and scientific manner. Its principles, generalizations and concepts are formulated on the basis of observation, research, analysis and experimentation, as is the case with the principles of other sciences. Like other sciences, management principles are also based on relationship of cause and effect. It states that same cause under similar circumstance will produce same effect. Suppose if workers are paid more (cause), the produce more (effect). Management principles are codified and systematic, and can be transferred from one to another and can be taught. Management principles are universally applicable to all types of organizations
11
Theories of Management
Classical Behavioural Management Science Integrative Perspective Contingency
12
Classical Theory Focused on job and management functions to determine the best way to manage organisation. Early 1900s Managing departments and organisations Proponents of Scientific management and Administrative theory.
13
Scientific Management
Job efficiency through development of technical skills(F.W.Taylor, Frank and Lilian Gilbert and Henry Grant s) Developed a procedure for each element of worker’s job. Promoted job specialisation Selected, trained and developed work scientifically Plan and schedule work Establish standard methods and time for task Use wage incentives such as piece rates and bonuses
14
Administrative Theory
They believed in rules and structure of the organisation (Henry Fayol, Chester Benard, Max Weber and Mary P. Follet-late ) Planning, coordinating, organising, controlling and commanding functions of management. 14 principles of management Bureaucracy concept
15
Administrative Theory contd
Worker participation, conflict resolution and shared goals Awareness of informal organisations like cliques and social groupings Promoted behavioural theory rather than organisations Today, Mr Bigs, Macdonals, Shoprite etc adopted some elements of the classical theory
16
Behavioural Theory Elton Mayo, Abraham Maslow, Douglas McGregor s ) Focus on people-human skills rather than technical skils Human relations- Hawthorne effect Theory X(dislikes work) and Theory Y-(likes to work)- reorientation of management thinking Behavioural science draws from economics, accounting, psychology, sociology and humanities
17
Management Science -The use of mathematics to aid in problem solving and decision making. -Applied in World War II, Quantitative methods, MIS etc. Related to classical. - Stresses technical more than human skills
18
Integrative Perspective
Systems theory Sociotechnical theory Contingency theory
19
Systems theory Russel Ackoff, Harold Koontz, Daniel Katz, Robert Kahn – 1950 – 1980s. 1.Organisations viewed as a whole and as the interrelationship of its parts. 2. Organisation transforms inputs(resources) into outputs (products and/or service) 3. Conceptual skills to understand organisation’s subsystem
20
Sociotechnical theory
They believe in integrating people with technology s Eric Trist,Ken Bamforth and Fred Emery - If today's manager fails to integrate both factors performance will be poor.
21
Contingency Theory Focused on determining the best management approach for a given situation. 1960s-1970s-Tom Burns and George Stalker Two environments-Stable and Innovative Stable-where there is little change Innovative-great changes Two management system-Mechanistic and Organistic
22
Contingency theory contd
Mechanistic-similar to bureaucratic classical theory Organic-non bureaucratic and similar to behavioural theory Note : Mechanistic works with mass production technology(automobile) while Behavioural works with small batch custom made products such as crude oil refinning
23
Management Skills Technical Skills- Application of Techniques
Interpersonal Skills –Ability to understand, communicate, and work well with individuals and groups. Decision making skills -Conceptual skills Diagnostic, analytical and critical thinking Quantitative reasoning Time management
