WHAT IS MANAGEMENT?
Management is the process involving planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling human effachieve stated objectives in an organization.
NATURE OF MANAGEMENT
Nature of Management The study and application of management techniques in managing the affairs of t
organization have changed its nature over the period of time. Various contributions to the field of management hchanged its nature. Therefore the nature of management can be described as follow; Multidisciplinary Dynamic of principles Relative, not absolute principles Management: Science or Art Management as Profession Universa
Management
MANAGEMENT AS DISCIPLINARY
Management is basically multidisciplinary. This implies that, although management has been developed as a
separate discipline, it draws knowledge and concepts from various discipline. It draws freely ideas and conceptspsychology, sociology, anthropology, economics, ecology etc. Management integrates the ideas and concepts tak
from these disciplines and presents newer concepts which can be put into practice for managing the organization
fact the integration of knowledge of various discipline is the major contribution of management and this integrat
discipline is known as management.
DYNAMIC NATURE OF PRINCIPLES
Principle is a fundamental truth which establish causes and effect relationships of function. Managementframed certain principles on the basis of integration and supported by practical evidences. These principles are f
in nature and with the changed in the environment in which an organization exists. Because of the continuous
development in the field, many older principles are being changed by new Principles. In fact, there is nothingpermanent in the landslide of management.
RELATIVE, NOT ABSOLUTE PRINCIPLE
Principles are relative, not absolute and they should be applied according to the need of the organization
organization may be different from others. The difference may exits because of time, place, socio-culture factorsHowever individuals working within the same organization may also differ. Thus a particular management shou

EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT Management practice is as old as human civilization started living together in groups. The study of how managers achieve results is predominantly a twentieth century phenomenon.
In the early years, management could not get the attention of researchers because the field of business in
the management concepts were applied was held low. And the commonly held belief that managers are born and not made.
These factors created the situation where the need for the systematic study of management was not felt. T
situation continued till the beginning of the Twentieth century.
EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT The situation started changing with the beginning of the 20th century; specially the World War 1 created
situation where people started thinking of situation to the problem of how limited resources could be applied in b
way. The World War 11 added further problem to this end. Growing competition and complexity of managing
business organizations further provided impetus to developing systematic management concepts and principles. In recent years, there has been world wide rivalry for markets, power and progress. The increasingly severe competition from several factors like, technological innovations, increase in cap
investment, freedom at national and international markets. Because of growing competition managing business has also increased due to No. of organizations, highof of division of labor and specialization, increased government regulations and control to business more sociall
oriented, organized union activities to put pressures on management. This led to the emergence of a variety of orientations and approaches in management.

Early Contributions Scientific Management Administrative/operational management
MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS IN CLASSICAL APPROACH
Scientific Management from Frederick W. Taylor
Bureaucratic Management from Max Weber
Administrative Management from Henri Fayol
SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Scientific Management was concerned essentially with improving the operational efficiency at the shop flevel.
Taylor has defined Scientific Management is concerned with knowing exactly what you want men to do
then see in that they do it in the best of the cheapest way.
Taylor has put the emphasis on solving managerial problems in a scientific way, often he is called as fathscientific management and his contributions as the principles of scientific management.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Taylor conducted various experiments at his work place to find out how human beings could be made mefficient by standardizing the work and better method of doing the work. These experiments have provided the
following features of scientific management.
Separation of Planning and Doing.
Functional Foremanship.
Job Analysis.
Standardization.
Scientific Selection and Training of Workers.
Financial Incentives.
Economy.
Mental Revolution.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Separation of Planning and Doing.
Taylor emphasized the separation of planning aspect from actual doing of the work.
Taylor emphasized the planning should be left to the supervisor and the worker should emphasize onlyoperational work.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Functional Foremanship.Separation of planning from doing resulted into development of supervision system which could take pla
work adequately besides keeping supervision on workers. For this Taylor, evolved the concept of functional
foremanship based on specialization of functions.In this system eight persons are involved to direct the activities of workers. All of them give directions to
workers on different aspects of work
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Job Analysis.Job analysis is undertaken to find out the one best way of doing the thing.
The best way of doing the thing can be determined by taking up time-motion-fatigue studies.
Time study involves the determination of time a movement takes to complete. The movement which takeminimum time is the best one.
Motion study involves the study of movements in parts which are involved in doing a job and thereby
eliminating the wasteful movements and performing only necessary movements.
Fatigue study shows the amount and frequency of rest required in completing the work. After a certain ptime, workers feel fatigue and cannot work with full capacity.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

Thus job analysis, as given by Taylor, suggests the fair amount of a days work requiring certain movem
and rest periods to complete it.ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Standardization.
Standardization should be maintained in respect of instruments and tools, period of work, amount of wor
working conditions, cost of production, etc. These things should be fixed in advance on the basis of job analysis
various elements of costs that go in performing a work.ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Scientific Selection and Training of Workers.
Taylor has suggested that workers should be selected on scientific basis taking into account their educatiwork experience, aptitude, physical strength etc.
A worker should be given work for which he is physically and technically most suitable.
Apart from selection, proper emphasis should be given on the training of workers which makes them moefficient and effective.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Financial Incentives.Financial incentives can motivate workers to put in their maximum efforts.
Taylor himself applied the concept of differential piece rate system which was highly motivating. Accord
this scheme, a worker who completes the normal work gets wages at higher rate per piece and one who does notcomplete gets at lower rate.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Economy.While applying scientific management, not only scientific and technical aspects should be considered bu
adequate consideration should be given to economy and profit. For this purpose, techniques of cost estimates an
control should be adopted.The economy and profit can be achieved by making the resources more productive as well as by eliminat
wastages.
ELEMENTS AND TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Mental Revolution.Scientific management depends on the mutual co-operation between management and workers. For this
operation there should be mental change in both parties from conflict to co-operation.

Principles of Scientific Management
Replacing Rule of Thumb with Science.Taylor has emphasized that in scientific management, organized knowledge should be applied which wil
replace rule of thumb.
While the use of scientific methods denotes precision in determining any aspect of work, hence rule of themphasizes estimation.
Since exactness of various aspects of work like days fair work, standardization in work, differential piec
for payment, etc., is the basic core of scientific management.It is essential that all these are measured precisely and should not be based on estimates.
Principles of Scientific Management
Harmony in Group Action.Taylor has emphasized that attempts should be made to obtain harmony in group action rather than disco

Group harmony suggests that there should be mutual give and take situation and proper understanding so
group as a whole contributes to the maximum.Principles of Scientific Management
Co-operation.
Scientific management involves achieving co-operation rather than chaotic individualism.
Scientific management is based on mutual confidence, co-operation and goodwill. Co-operation betweenmanagement and workers can be developed through mutual understanding and a change in thanking.
Principles of Scientific Management
Maximum Output.Scientific management involves continuous increase in production and productivity instead of restricted
production either by management or by workers.Therefore Taylor advised the management and the workers to turn their attention towards increasing the
the surplus until the size of the surplus becomes so large that it is necessary to quarrel over how it shall be divid
Principles of Scientific Management
Development of Workers.In scientific management, all workers should be developed to the fullest extent for their own and for the
companys highest prosperity.
Development of workers requires their scientific selection and providing them training at the work place
Training should be provided to workers to keep them fully fit according to the requirement of new metho
working which may be different from the non-scientific methods.

Features of Bureaucratic Management from Max Weber
Administrative Class.
Hierarchy.
Division of Work.
Official Rules.
Impersonal Relationships.
Official Record.
Bureaucratic Management from Max Weber
The term bureaucracy has been used widely with directed at government and business.
Bureaucracy is an administrative system designed to accomplish large-scale administrative tasks by
systematically coordinating the work of many individuals.
Weber has observed three types of power in organizations i.e traditional, charismatic and rational-legal o
bureaucratic. He is emphasized that bureaucratic type of tower is the ideal one.Features of Bureaucratic Management
Administrative Class.
Bureaucratic organizations generally have administrative class responsible for maintaining coordinativeactivities of the members.
Main features of this class areas follows:-People are paid and whole time employees.They receive salary and other perquisites normally based on other positions.
Their tenure in the organization is determined by the rules and regulations of the organization.
They are selected for the purpose of employment based on their competence.
Features of Bureaucratic Management Hierarchy.
The basic feature of bureaucratic structure is that there is a hierarchy of positions in the organization.
Hierarchy is the system of ranking various positions in descending scale from top to bottom of the organIn bureaucratic structure, offices also follow the principle of hierarchy, that is, each lower office is subje
control and supervision by a higher office.
Thus no office is left uncontrolled in the organization. This is fundamental concept of hierarchy in bureaorganization.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

This organization serves as lines of communication and delegation of authority. It implies that communic
coming down are going up must pass through each position.
Features of Bureaucratic Management Division of Work.
Work of the organization is divided on the basis of specialization to take the advantages of division of la
Each office in the bureaucratic organization has specific sphere of competence.
This involves a sphere of obligations to perform functions which have been marked off as part of a systematic
division of labor.Thus, division of labor tries to ensure that each office has a clearly-defined area of competence within the
organization and each official knows the areas in which he operates and the areas in which he must abstain from
so that he does not overstep the boundary between his role and those of others. Further, division of labor also triensure that no work is left uncovered.
Features of Bureaucratic Management Official Rules.
A basic and most emphasized feature of bureaucratic Official structure is that administrative process is
continuous and governed by official rules.
A rational approach to organization calls for a system of maintaining rules to ensure twin requirements ouniformity and coordination of efforts by individual members in the organization.
Rules provide the benefits of stability, continuity and predictability and each official knows precisely the outof his behavior in a particular matter.
Features of Bureaucratic Management
Impersonal Relationships.
A notable feature of bureaucracy is that relationships among individuals are governed through the system of of
authority and rules. Official positions are free from personal involvement, emotions and sentiments. Thus, decisgoverned by rational factors rather than personal factors.
Features of Bureaucratic Management
Official Record.
Bureaucratic organization is characterized by maintenance of proper official records. The decisions and activit
the organization are formally recorded and preserved for future reference. This is made possible by extensive usefiling system in the organization.

Authority and Responsibility.
Authority is defined as the right to give orders and the power to effect obedience. Authority can be for
personal. Formal authority is derived from ones official position and personal authority is derived from factors intelligence and experience. Authority and responsibility go hand-in-hand. When a manager exercises authority,
should be held responsible for getting the work done in the desired manner.

EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT
Human relations approach
HAWTHORNE EXPERIMENTS AND HUMAN RELATIONS ELTON MAYO Researchers tried to investigate the reasons for human behaviour at work.
Such findings generated a new phenomenon about the human behaviour and focused attention on the hum
relations approach of management.
For the first time, an intensive and systematic analysis of human factor in organizations was made in the
Hawthorne experiments.
Because of their historical importance to the behavioural approach to the analysis of management proble
HAWTHORNE EXPERIMENTS AND HUMAN RELATIONS ELTON MAYO The researchers set to study the relationship between productivity and physical working conditions. They
conducted various researches in four phases which are as follows:- Experiments to determine the effects of changes in illumination on productivity.
Experiments to determine the effects of changes in hours and other working conditions on productivity. Conducting plant wide interviews to determine worker attitudes and sentiments.
Determination and analysis of social organization at work.
ILLUMINATION EXPERIMENTS
Illumination experiments were undertaken to find out how varying levels of illumination i.e amount of li
the workplace.
The hypothesis was that with higher illumination, productivity would increase.
Two group of workers was chosen i.e Experimental group & Control group.
Experimental Group was exposed to varying intensities of illumination.
Control Group, continued to work under constant intensities of illumination.
ILLUMINATION EXPERIMENTS
When the researchers increased the illumination in the experimental group both the groups increasedproduction., when illumination decreased both the groups increased production.
The production from experimental group decreased when the illumination was decreased to the level of
moonlight.
Thus it was concluded that illumination did not have any effect on productivity.
RELAY ASSEMBLY TEST ROOM EXPERIMENTS
The researchers set up a relay assembly test room and two girls were chosen. These girls were asked to cfore more girls as coworkers.
The work was related to assembly of telephone relays. This relay consists of parts which girls assembled
finished products.
An observer was associated with girls to supervise their work.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

The girls were given opportunity to express their viewpoints to the supervisor. And some cases they were
allowed to take decisions.
RELAY ASSEMBLY TEST ROOM EXPERIMENTS Following are the changes and outcomes:-
With the incentive system the productivity increased as compared before.
Two five minute rests One in morning and other in evening session. The productivity increased. The rest period was reduced but frequency was increased. The production decreased and girls complaineto many rest intervals affected the rhythm of the work.
In the two rest in morning, coffee or soup were served and evening sandwich was provided along with snProductivity increased. Changes in working hours the girls were allowed to leave at 4.30 pm instead of usual 5.00 p.m. Producti
increased.
RELAY ASSEMBLY TEST ROOM EXPERIMENTS As changes was introduced absenteeism decreased and morale increased and less supervision was requir
Researchers they decided to go back to original position i.e no rest and other benefits. Surprisingly produ
increased and they were expecting that productivity might decrease. They made a conclusion that productivity increased not because of positive changes in work, but becausechange in the girls attitude towards work. Because of that a feeling of stability and sense of belongingness.
Since there was more freedom of work, they developed a sense of responsibility and self-discipline.
MASS INTERVIEWING PROGRAMME During the course of experiments, about 20,000 interviews were conducted.
To determine employees attitudes towards company, supervision, insurance plans, promotion and wage
Initially these interviews were conducted by means of direct questioning. The method was changed to no
directive interviewing where interviewer was asked to listen.
MASS INTERVIEWING PROGRAMME The interview program gives valuable insights about human behaviour. Some of the major findings are a
follows:-
A complaint is not necessarily an objective. It is a symptom of personal disturbances within. It was related to employee satisfaction or dissatisfaction. As the employees view them from their personasituation.
Personal situation involves sentiments, desires and interests of the person. The position of a worker assigns meaning and value to the events, objects and features of his environmenas hours of work, wages etc.
The social organization of the company represents a system of values from which the worker derives
satisfaction or dissatisfaction according to the perception of his social status. The social demands of the worker are influenced by social experience in groups both inside and outside t
work plant.
During the course of interviews, it was discovered that workers behaviour was been influenced by group
behaviour.
BANK WIRING OBSERVATION ROOM EXPERIMENTS
These experiments were carried with a view to analyze the functioning of small group and its impact onindividual behaviour.
A group of 14 male workers was employed in the bank wiring room. 9 wiremen, 3 solder men and 2 insp The work involved attaching wire to switches for certain equipment used in telephone exchange. Hourly wage rate for the personnel was based on average output of each worker while bonus was to be
determined on the basis of average group output. The hypothesis was that in order to earn more workers would produce more and in order to take the advaof group bonus.
BANK WIRING OBSERVATION ROOM EXPERIMENTS
However this hypothesis did not hold valid. Workers decided the target for themselves which was lower
the companys target. The workers gave following reasons for the restricted output.
Fear of unemployment If there would be more production per head, some of the workers would be put employment.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

Fear of raising the standards Most workers were convinced that once they had reached the standard rate
production, management would rise the standard of production.
Protection of slower workers The workers were friendly on the job as well as off the job. They appreci
fact that they had family responsibility that required them to remain in the job. Since slower workers were likely
retrenched, the faster workers protected them by not over producing.BANK WIRING OBSERVATION ROOM EXPERIMENTS
Satisfaction on the part of management According to workers management seemed to accept the lower
production rate as no one was being fired.
During the course of experiments, workers were counseled for good human relations in the companys p
The counseling was in regard to personal adjustment, supervision, employee relations and management-employe
relations. The supervisors tend to understand and accept the problems of workers and management tried to sensefeelings which were helpful in formulating the action for resolving management-employee conflicts.
EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT Management Thought
Social systems approach
SOCIAL SYSTEMS APPROACH
Social systems approach of management has extended the implications of human relations approach. The
has been developed by Chester Barnard who synthesized the concept of social systems approach. According to this approach, an organization is essentially a cultural system composed of people who wor
co-operation, for achieving organizational goals, a co-operative system can be developed by understanding thebehaviour of people in groups.
SOCIAL SYSTEMS APPROACH
The major features of this approach are as follows:-
Organization is a social system, a system of cultural relationships.
Relationships exist among the external as well as internal environment of the organization.
Co-operation among group members is necessary for the achievement of organizational objectives.
For effective management, efforts should be made for establishing harmony between the goals of theorganization and the various groups.
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD In determining the tasks of executives, he or she has analyzed the nature of co-operative social system. The major contributions of Barnard can be presented as follows:-
Concept of Organization
Formal and Informal Organizations
Elements of Organization Authority
Functions of the Executive
Motivation Executive Effectiveness
Organizational Equilibrium
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Concept of Organization:-Barnard has defined formal organization as a system of consciously coordinated activities of two or more
persons.
An organization exists when the following three conditions are fulfilled.
There are persons able to communicate with each other.
They are willing to contribute to the action.
They attempt to accomplish a common purpose.CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Formal and Informal Organizations:-
Organizations can be divided into two parts; Formal and Informal.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
15/28
The formal organization has consciously coordinated interactions which have a deliberate and common p
The informal organization exists to overcome the problems of formal organization.
In fact Barnard has suggested that executives should encourage the development of informal organizatioserve as a means of communication, to bring cohesion in the organization.
Both the formal and the informal organizations depend on each other and there is a continuous interactio
between the two.
Thus in managing an organization, the manager should take into account both types of organization.
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Elements of Organization:-According to Barnard, there are four elements of a formal organization.
A system of functionalization so that people can specialize.
A system of effective and efficient incentives so as to induce people to contribute to group action.
A system of power which will lead group members to accept the decisions of the executives.
A system of logical decision-making.CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Authority:-Barnard does not agree with the classical view that authority transcends from the top to down. He has giv
new concept of authority which is termed as acceptance theory of authority or bottom-up authority. In his opi
they person does not obey an order because it has been given by superior but he will accept the communication
when four conditions are met. He can understand the communication. He believes that it is not inconsistent with the organizational purpose.
He believes it to be compatible with his personal interest as a whole. He is mentally and physically able to comply with it.CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Functions of the Executive:-
Barnard has identified three types of functions which an executive performs in a formal organization. Maintenance of organizational communication through formal interactions.
Securing of essential services from individuals in the organization so as to achieve organizational purpos
The formulation and definition of organizational purpose.
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Motivation:-
Apart from financial incentives which have their own limitations in motivating the people. Barnard has
suggested a number of non-financial techniques for motivating the people. i.e opportunity if power and distinctipride of workmanship, pleasant organization, participation, mutual supporting, personal attitudes and feeling of
belongingness.
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD
Executive Effectiveness:-To make the executive effective requires a high order or responsible leadership.
Leadership is the most strategic factor in securing co-operation from the people.
Executive leadership demands high calibre, technological competence, technical and social skills.
CONTRIBUTION OF BARNARD Organizational Equilibrium:-
Organizational equilibrium refers to the matching of individual efforts and organizational efforts to satis
individuals.The co-operation of individuals with the organization brings forth new activities.
The equilibrium is not static but dynamic. Demands and aspirations of individuals change and the organi
has to cope with the dynamic situation.
Thus, the organization has to take into account the changes in the society.

The above contributions of Barnard show how he was concerned for the development of the organization
through social systems. His contributions are regarded quite high in management.
EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT Management Thought Decision theory approach
DECISION THEORY APPROACH
Decision theory approach looks at the basic problem of management around decision-making the selec
a suitable course of action out of the given alternatives. Major contributions in this approach has come from Sim The major emphasis of this approach is that decision-making is the job of every manager.
The manager is a decision-maker and the organization is a decision-making unit.DECISION THEORY APPROACH
Decision theory approach has the following features:- Management is essentially decision-making. The members of the organization are decision-makers and problem-solvers.
Organization can be created as a combination of various decision centres. The level and importance of
organizational members are determined on the basis of importance of decisions which they make. Quality of decision affects the organizational effectiveness.
Thus it covers the entire range of human activities in organization.
DECISION THEORY APPROACH Herbert Simon, a Noble prize winner in Economics, has made significant contributions in the field of
management particularly administrative behaviour and decision making.
His contributions cover both social systems and decision theory approaches.
His major contributions to management are as follows:-
Concept of Organization
Decision-making
Bounded Rationality
Administrative Man
Organizational Communication
CONTRIBUTIONS OF HERBERT SIMON
Concept of Organization:-Simon has described an organization as a complex network of decisional processes.
He has viewed the organization containing distribution and allocation of decision-making functions.
Thus the west way to analyze an organization is to find out where and by whom decisions are made.CONTRIBUTIONS OF HERBERT SIMON
Decision-making:-
This is the greatest contribution of Simon is in the field of decision-making. Decision-making is the coremanagement and management is synonymous with decision-making.
According to him the decision process can be broken in three sequential types:- Intelligent activity:- The initial phase of searching the environment for conditions calling for decisions. Design Activity:- The phase of inventing, developing and analyzing possible course of action to take pla
Choose Activity:- The final phase of action choice selecting a particular course of action from those avaiCONTRIBUTIONS OF HERBERT SIMON
Bounded Rationality:-
Simon is of the view that man is not completely rational. He has criticized the theories which are based o
assumptions of complete rationality. He has advocated the principle of bounded rationality.Accordingly managers do not go for maximum satisfaction out of a decision but are satisfied with good e
satisfaction from a decision.
Managers cannot maximize an account of various limitations and constraints.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF HERBERT SIMON Administrative Man:-
Simon has given the concept of administrative man as the model of decision-making. The model has bee
on the following assumptions.

Administrative man adopts satisfying approach in decision-making rather than the maximizing approach
economic man. He perceives the world as a simplified model of real world.
He can make his choice without first determining all possible alternatives and without ascertaining that th
in fact all the alternatives. He is able to make decisions with relatively simple rule of thumb, or tricks of trade or force of habit. The
administrative man model describes the decision-making process of managers.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF HERBERT SIMON
Organization Communication:-Simon has emphasized the role of communication in organization. According to him there are three stage
communication process.
Initiation, transmittal and receipt of information.
In order to overcome the problem of communication, he has emphasized the role of informal communicaand has attached less importance to the formal network of authority.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
The main contributions of Drucker can be presented as follows:-
Nature of Management
Management Functions
Organization structure
Federalism
Management by Objectives
Organizational Changes
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Nature of Management:-
Drucker is against bureaucratic management and has emphasized management with creative and innovat
characteristics.The basic objective of management is to lead towards innovation. The concept of innovation is quite bro
may include development of new ideas, combining of old and new ideas, adaptation of ideas from other fields an
encouraging others to carry out innovation.CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Nature of Management:-
He has treated management as a discipline as well as profession. As a discipline, management has its oneskills, techniques and approaches. However, management is more a practice rather than a science.
Drucker does not advocate to treat management as a strict profession but only a liberal profession which
more emphasis that managers should not only have skills and techniques but should have right perspective puttinthings into practice.
So that they can understand the social and cultural requirements of various organizations and countries.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Management Functions:-
Drucker sees management through its tasks. Accordingly, these are three basic functions of a manager wmust perform to enable the institution to make its contributions for the specific purpose and mission of institutio
Making work productive and the worker achieving and managing social impacts and social responsibiliti
manager has to act as administrator and as entrepreneur in redirecting the resources for increasing results.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Management Functions:-
Thus, a manager has to perform several functions i.e setting of objectives, decision-making, organizing amotivating.
Drucker has attached great importance to the objective setting function and has specified eight areas whe
objective setting is required. These are:- market standing, innovation, productivity, physical and financial resourprofitability, managerial performance and development, worker performance and attitude and public responsibil
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER Organization Structure:-
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
18/28
Drucker has emphasized three basic characteristics of an effective organization structure:-
1. Enterprise should be organized for performance.2. It should contain the least possible number of managerial levels.
3. It must make possible the training and testing of tomorrow's top managers, giving responsibility t
manager while still he is young.CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Organization Structure:-
Drucker has identified three basic aspects in organizing i.e activity analysis, decision analysis and relatio
analysis. An activity analysis shows what work has to be performed, or kind of job put together and which empha
given to each activity in the organization structure. Decision analysis takes into account the degree of futurity in the decision. The impact of a decision over functions. Whether the decision is periodically recurrent or rare. Such an analysis will determine the level at wh
decision can be made. Relation analysis helps in defining the structure and also to give guidance in manning the structure.CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Federalism:-Drucker has advocated the concept of federalism. Federalism refers to centralized control in decentralize
structure. Decentralized structure goes far beyond the delegation of authority.
He has emphasized the close links between the decisions adopted by the top management on the one hanby the autonomous unit on the other.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER Federalism:-
Federalism has certain positive values over other methods of organizing. Which are as follows:-
It sets the top management free to devote itself to its proper functions. It defines the functions and responsibilities of the operating jobs. It creates a yardstick to measure their success and effectiveness in operating jobs. It helps to resolve the problem of continuity giving to managers of various units, in top management prob
and functions while in an operating position.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER
Management by Objectives:-Management by Objectives (MBO) is regarded as one of the most important contributions of Drucker to
discipline of Management.
MBO includes method of planning, setting standards, performance appraisal and motivation.
It transforms the basic assumptions of managing from exercising control to self-control. In order to prac
MBO, The organization must change itself. MBO has become such a popular way of managing that today it is reas the most modern management approach. Hence it has revolutionalized the management process.
CONTRIBUTIONS OF PETER DRUCKER Organizational Changes:-
Drucker has visualized rapid changes in the society because of rapid technological development. Though
not resistant to change, he feels concerned for the rapid changes and their impact on human life.
Human beings should take as a challenges for making the society better.This can be done by developing dynamic organizations which are able to absorb changes much faster tha
ones.
Druckers contributions have made tremendous impact on the management practices. His contributions hrecognized even by the management thinkers.
MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
Management by objectives (MBO), or management by results (MBR)
It focuses sharply on the objectives or results which a manager is expected to achieve within a specified It also emphasizes participative management, an approach which provides high motivation to individuals in an
organization.
Both business and non-business, have adopted this in some form or the other.
MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
19/28
MBO is a comprehensive managerial system that integrates many key managerial activities in a systemat
manner, consciously directed towards the effective and efficient achievement of organizational objectives.
MBO is a result-centered, non-specialist, operational managerial process for effective utilization of matephysical, and human resources of the organization by integrating the individual with the organization and organi
with the environment.
MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
MBO is the joint application of a number of principles and techniques. It works as an integrating device.
MBO tries to match objectives and resources. Objectives are established for all the levels of the organiza
including the corporate level, all the units or departments and individual managers. Objectives provide the meanintegrating the organization with its environment, its subsystems and people.MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES
The MBO is characterized by the participation of concerned managers in objective setting and performan
reviews. Therefore, each manager takes active part in setting objectives for himself and also in evaluating his
performance about how he is performing.
Periodic review of performance is an important feature of MBO . The performance review is held regula
normally once a year.
PROCESS OF MBO
PROCESS OF MBO MBO is a system for achieving organizational objectives, enhancement of employee commitment ad
participation.
Setting of Organizational Purpose and Objectives.
Key Result Areas.
Setting Subordinates Objectives.
Matching Resources with Objectives.
Appraisal.
Recycling.
PROCESS OF MBO
Setting of Organizational Purpose and Objectives.The first basic step in MBO is the definition of organizational purpose and objectives.
To achieve growth through expansion in the same line of business or diversify.
Usually the objective setting starts at the top level of the organization and moves downward to the lowesmanagerial levels.
PROCESS OF MBO
Key Result Areas.Organizational objectives and planning premises together provide the basis for the identification of key r
areas (KRAs)KRAs also indicate the present state of an organizations health and the top management perspective for
future.
Examples of KRAs applicable to most of the business organizations are:-
Profitability
Market Standing
Innovation
Productivity
Worker performance
Financial and physical resources
Manager performance
Public responsibilityPROCESS OF MBO
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
20/28
Setting Subordinates Objectives.
The organizational objectives are achieved through individuals. Therefore, each individual manager mus
in advance what he is expected to achieve. Every manager in the managerial hierarchy is both superior and suboexcept the person at the top level and the lowest level. Therefore, there is a series of superior and subordinate
relationship.
Thereafter, the final objectives for the subordinate are set by the mutual negotiation between superior an
subordinate.
PROCESS OF MBO Matching Resources with Objectives.
It is the proper application of resources which ensures objective achievement.The allocation and movement of resources should be done in consultation with the subordinate manager.
PROCESS OF MBO
Appraisal.
Appraisal aspect of MBO tries to measure whether the subordinate is achieving his objective or not. If no
are the problems and how these problems can be overcome. Appraisal is undertaken as an on-going process.It is taken as a matter of system to ensure that everything is going as planned and the organization is able
achieve its objectives.
PROCESS OF MBO
Recycling.Objective setting is a joint process through interaction between superior and subordinate. Therefore, wha
happens at each level may affect other levels also. The outcome of appraisal at one level is recycled to see if the
objectives have been set properly at the level concerned and also at the next higher level.
BENEFITS OF MBO
Better Managing.
Clarity in Organizational Action.
Personnel Satisfaction.
Basis for Organizational Change.
BENEFITS OF MBO Better Managing.
MBO helps in better managing he organizational resources and activities. Resources and activities are pu
such a way that they result into better performance. There are five basic assumptions about what improvesperformance. These are clarity of objectives, role clarity, periodic feedback of performance, participation by ma
in the management process, and realization that there is always scope for improvement of performance in every
situation.BENEFITS OF MBO
Clarity in Organizational Action.
MBO tends to provide the key result areas (KRAs) where organizational efforts are needed. Since
organizational objectives are defined very clearly, they help in relating the organization with its environment.
BENEFITS OF MBO Personnel Satisfaction.
MBO provides greatest opportunity for personnel satisfaction. This is possible because of tow closely rel
phenomena: participation in objective setting and rational performance appraisal. When the individuals are involobjective setting, they derive satisfaction because of the feeling that they are important to the organization.
They enjoy considerable authority which is a source of inspiration for better performance.
They are very sure that their performance will be measured in terms of their actual performance and willaffected by managerial prejudices, biases and other personal factors.
BENEFITS OF MBO
Basis for Organizational Change.
MBO stimulates organizational change and provides a framework and guidelines for planned change, enthe top management to initiate, plan direct and control the direction and speed of change. In any organization, ch

required because of change in external factors or in internal factors or changes taking place in both the factors
simultaneously.A very difficult problem comes in the way of organizational change because people resist it.
PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
MBO is not without its problems and weaknesses.
Some of the problems are inherent in MBO system itself while others emerge because of wrongimplementation.
Time and Cost.
Failure to teach MBO Philosophy. Problems in Objective Setting.
Emphasis on Short-term Objectives.
Inflexibility.
Frustration.
PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Time and Cost.
MBO is not as simple as it looks to be. It is a process which requires large amount of the most scarce in torganization-time of the senior managers.
Sometimes, managers get frustrated and feel overburdened. Further, MBO generates paper work because
number of forms are to be designed and put into practice.
Therefore, there is a problem of communication overload.PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Failure to teach MBO Philosophy.MBO is a philosophy of managing an organization in a new way. However, managers fail to understand
appreciate this new approach. They have a number of doubts about MBO like what purpose is served by MBO,
performance is to be appraised, and how organization will benefit.They take MBO as another tool for control. Moreover, their old way of thinking puts difficulty in introdu
MBO because they may not appreciate the full view of MBO.
PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Problems in Objective Setting.MBO requires verifiable objectives against which performance can be measured. However, setting such
objectives is difficult at least in some areas. Objectives are more in the form of statement rather than in quantitatform.PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Emphasis on Short-term Objectives.
Sometimes, in order to be more precise there is a tendency to emphasize on short-term objectives usually
year on even less. No doubt, this may help in performance appraisal but there is always a danger in emphasizingterm objectives at the cost of long-term objectives.
PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Inflexibility.
MBO represents the danger of inflexibility in the organization, particularly when the objectives need to bchanged.
However, many mangers often hesitate to change objectives during a period of time. Thus, inflexibility c
by applying MBO may cause harm than what it may contribute.
PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS OF MBO
Frustration.
Sometimes MBO creates frustration among managers. This frustration may be because of two reasons: F
experience shows, many organizations could not implement MBO properly, resulting into chaos.Introduction of MBO tends to arouse high expectation for rapid change, particularly among the young an
junior managers. They begin to see the vision of a new world for their organization in terms of growth, profitabi
and for themselves in terms of career advancement. If the rate of change is slower than expected due to any reasmanagers begin to feel frustration.
In spite to these obstacles and problems in MBO, it continues to be a way of managing the organization.
many of the problems and weaknesses of MBO can be over come by implementing it properly.

EVOLUTION OF MANAGEMENT THOUGHT Management Thought Management science approach
Human behavior approach
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACHManagement science approach, also known as mathematical or quantitative measurement approach, visu
management as a logical entity, the action of which can be expressed in terms of mathematical symbols, relation
and measurement data. The primary focus of this approach is the mathematical model.
Through this device, model can be expressed in terms which optimize that goal. This approach draws mathings from the decision theory approach and, in fact, provides many techniques for rational decision-making.
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACHThe major features of this approach are as follows:-
Management is regarded as the problem-solving mechanism with the help of the mathematical tools and
techniques. Management problems can be described in terms of mathematical symbols and data. Thus every manage
activity can be quantified. This approach covers decision-making, systems analysis and some aspects of human behaviour. Operations research, mathematical tools, simulation, models etc., are the basic methodologies to solve
managerial problems.
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACHManagement science approach is a fast developing one in analyzing and understanding management.
Various mathematical tools like sampling, linear programming, game theory, time series analysis, simula
waiting line theory etc., have provided more exactness in solving managerial problems.MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACH
Another name commonly used for management science is operations research. George B. Dantzig is con
the father of Operations Research.Recent advances in computers have made it possible to use complex mathematical and statistical models
management of organizations.
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACHManagement Science techniques are widely used in the following areas:-
Capital Budgeting and cash flow management
Production scheduling
Development of product strategies
Planning for human resource development programs
Maintenance of optimal inventory levels.
Aircraft scheduling
MANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACH
Various mathematical tools like the waiting line theory or queuing theory, Linear programming, the progevaluation review technique (PERT), the critical path method (CPM), the decision theory, the simulation theory,
probability theory, sampling, time series analysis etc, have increased the effectiveness of managerial decision-mMANAGEMENT SCIENCE APPROACH
To apply a quantitative approach to decision-making, individuals with mathematical, statistical, engineer
economics and business background skills are required.
Since one person cannot have all these skills the quantitative method requires a team approach to decisio
making.This approach has been criticized for its overemphasis of mathematical tools. Many managerial activities
be quantified because they involve human beings who are governed by many irrational elements.
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR APPROACH
Human behaviour approach is the outcome of the thoughts developed by behavioural scientists.
Since management involves getting things done by people, the study of management must revolve aroun
human behaviour. The approach, also known as leadership behavioural science or human resource approach.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
23/28
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR APPROACH The human behaviour approach emphasizes human resources in an organization more as compared to phand financial resources.
Since this approach studies human behaviour ranging from personality dynamics of individuals at one ex
to the relations of culture at the other. This can be divided into two groups i.e interpersonal behaviour approach and group behaviour approach
Writers on interpersonal behaviour approach are heavily oriented towards individual psychology while w
on group behaviour approach rely on social psychology and emphasize on organizational behaviour.
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR APPROACHMajor conclusions of the contributions made by behaviouralists, are as follows:-
People do not dislike work. If they have helped to establish objectives, they will want to achieve them, In
job itself is a source of motivation and satisfaction to employees.
Most people can exercise a great deal of self-direction, self-control and creativity than are required in the
current job. Therefore, there remains untapped potential among them.
The managers basic job is to use the untapped human potential in the service of the organization.
The manager should create a healthy environment wherein all subordinates can contribute to the best of t
capacity. The environment should provide a healthy, safe, comfortable and convenient place to work.
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR APPROACH
The manager should provide for self-direction by subordinates and they must be encouraged to participa
in all important matters. Operating efficiency can be improved by expanding the subordinate influence, self-direction and self-con
Work satisfaction can improve as a by-product of subordinates making full use of their potential.

TechnologySYSTEMS APPROACH
Systems approach has attracted the maximum attention of thinkers in management particularly in the pre
era. Those who advocate a systems view contend that an organization cannot exist in isolation and that mana
cannot function effectively without considering external environmental factors.
Churchman West is one of the pioneer of systems approach to management. The systems approach gives managers a new way of looking at an organization as a whole and as a part olarger, external environment.
SYSTEMS APPROACH According to this theory, an organizational system has four major components:- Inputs Money
Materials, man, machines and informational sources are required to produce goods and services. Transformation processes are throughputs Managerial and technical abilities are used to convert inpuoutputs.
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

Outputs are the products, services, profits and other results produced by the organization. Feedback refers to the information about the outcomes and the position of the organization relative to theenvironment it operates in.
SYSTEMS APPROACH
The two basic types of systems are closed and open systems:-
Closed Systems The system that does not interact with its environment.
Open Systems The system that interacts with its environment.
SYSTEMS APPROACH Fredrick Taylor, for instance regarded people and organizations as closed systems.
In reality, all organizations are open systems as they are dependent on interactions with their environmen
Whether it is a new product decision or a decision related to the employees of the organization, the organ
must consider the role and influence of environmental factors.
CONTINGENCY APPROACH
Universal View:
Same managerial principlesApply to all situation
Situation 1
Contingency View: Situation 2
Managerial action varies
From situation to situationSituation 3
CONTINGENCY APPROACH
This is also known as the situational theory, This approach has been widely used in recent years to integr
management theory with the increasing complexity of organizations.
Accordingly to this theory, there is no one best way to manage all situations. In other words, there is no o
way to manage. The response It depends holds good for several management situations.
CONTINGENCY APPROACH The contingency approach was developed by managers, consultants and researchers who tried to apply th
concepts of the major schools of management thought to real-life situations. Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard developed the contingency approach to leadership. Managers, who follow this approach, make business decisions or adopt a particular management style on
carefully considering all situational factors. According to the contingency approach, The task of managers is to identify which technique will, in a
particular situation under particular circumstances, and at a particular time, best contribute to the attainment ofmanagement goals.
Professionalization of Management
The term Professional Management has become a glamorous expression in corporate management in I
The concept of professional management has become synonym of progressive and efficient managemen
since no one likes to called as backward and inefficient. Hence there is a craze for the adoption of professional
management.
Professionalization of Management To assess the present status of professionalization of Indian Management, many studies have been condu
The research is found out the extent to which Indian Management has been professionalized.
The basic characteristics of management as a profession are found in Indian Management in varying deg Formulation of a code of conduct by All India Management Association suggest that there is professiona
of management in India.
From this point of view, Indian Management can be divided into two parts:-
Traditionally managed sector Professionally managed sector
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater
25/28
Professionalization of Management
Traditionally managed sector Indian management is described as family management with traditional values.
The two distinct features of family management are both ownership and control of the organization ar
hands of the members & the other one is organizational objective is to maximize profit even if it necessary exploof the weaker sections of the society. This type of management maintains the control of the organization by valu
system of the family.
Decision-making is centralized at the top, with the head of the family, who is no professionalism, but rel
with the experience and intuition, the decisions are not likely to be as good as that of a modern professional boarProfessionalization of Management
Traditionally managed sector
Professionalization does not come automatically by employment of people with professional degrees, unthe professionals have the necessary authority and use their professionalism in decision-making.
It can be suggested that in many private sector and public sector organizations, there is lack of
professionalization of management. Management, being a key factor in the economic development of the countrdevelopment of individual organizations, lack of professional content in it has been one of the main reasons for t
unsatisfactory performance of these organizations.
Professionalization of ManagementTraditionally managed sector
The basic reasons for lack of professional management are as follows:- The popular belief that business is a matter of commonsense and luck reflects this attitude.
However, the situation is changing fast with increasing size of organizations, complexity of managing buand more competitive environment. But very few business owners have realized this fact and others are still in o
concept of managing business.
Most of the organizations in the private sector are generally one-man show, Often the owner also performfunctions of a manager. This is true not only for the small-scale organizations but also for the large ones even th
they might have been organized as joint stock company form of organizations.
Professionalization of ManagementTraditionally managed sector
When the owner performs managerial functions, his perspective is quite different from the professional
manager. Owner-managers style of functioning is normally centralized and he believes in more direct control anoften discourages professionalization of management.
The emergence and development of public sector enterprises have put pressure on the government to find
suitable managers for these enterprises. These managers were originally deputed from the civil services who had
altogether different perspective and style of functioning.Professionalization of Management
Traditionally managed sector The situation in this respect is changing because the government has now realized the need for a suitablemanagement cadre for this sector.
Business in India has not yet reached the level of sophistication as in the developed countries requiring th
of sophisticated tools and techniques. By Western standard, the business is still in its infancy. In the absence of p
development of business, the management pattern has also not developed. In fact, many sectors are still undermanaged, In such a case, there is very little scope for professionalization of management in these sectors.
Professionalization of Management
Professionally managed Sector As against traditionally managed sector, there are various organizations, both in private sector as well as
public sector, whose management is highly professionalized. There are numerous such companies like HUL, ITC
Infosys, Wipro, Tata Iron and Steel Company, TELCO, and so on in private sector and BHEL, IOC in public sec These companies have inducted management graduates at various levels of management, introduced mod
concepts of management, set organizational objectives conducive to social needs, and motivated their personnel
achieve high level of professional competence.Professionalization of Management
Professionally managed SectorThe main reasons for the professionalization in this sector are as follows:-
8/8/2019 mct 1 chpater

The most important factor contributing to professionalization of Indian management is the international i
It can be observed that modern management concepts were first introduced by multinationals operating in With the increase in size and complexity of business organizations of Indian origin, many of them also a
the sophisticated management techniques. The requirement of managing large and complex businesses resulted
re-examination of the traditional way of managing these businesses.Professionalization of Management
Professionally managed Sector The government took a decision to induct professional managers in their enterprises with the responsibili
professionalization of the entire managerial cadre and process. This has given a way for professionalization ofmanagement in many public sectors.
When the owner-managers were not able to manage the organizations because of increasing competition
consequently complexity of management, they yielded way to the professional managers. Hence management positions should be held by persons who have professional skills and adequate traini
Professionalization of Management
Professionally managed Sector While the previous factors have generated the need for professionalization, availability of trained and edu
professional managers has facilitated the process of professionalization of management. Many business organizations have also established their management development centres. Prominent amthese are:- Steel Authority of India, LIC, most of the commercial banks. Tata Iron and Steel Company, TELCO,
ITC etc., in private sector. Even comparatively smaller organizations are also sending their managers to short-term management
development programmes. This has resulted in a change in the perspective of old owner-managers.Professionalization of Management
Hence after the improvements management in India is marching fast towards professionalization, throug
large part of it is still traditional.
However, in the time to come, the process of professionalization of management is likely to be faster becthe increasing complexity of managing business which is not possible for traditional management and also becau
increasing availability of professionally trained managers.
