Principles of Management

Evolution of the Management Thought



Evolution dates back to human civilisation



Every human group needs management



Instances- Agricultural revolution – 5000 BC



Egyptian civilisations, pyramids - 4000 BC



Ancient India- Harappa & Mohenjodaro – 2000 BC



Italian trading houses: Introduction of double entry book keeping – 1300 and 1400 AD

Principles of Management



In the 19th century - Industrial revolution - Mass production - Huge capital - Ownership separated from management



20th century - World war I - Limited resources available - Need for solution to use them in an optimum way - World War II added to the problem Thus, the issue of managing complex and huge business and growing competition forced us to develop systematic management concepts and principles

Principles of Management

Bureaucratic Approach to Management- Max Weber



Max Weber analyzed functioning of church, government, military and business organisations



He believed that bureaucracy was the most efficient form of a business structure for any type of business organisation

Principles of Management

Features of bureaucracy 

Administrative Class: This class exists in a bureaucratic organisation The employees are full time and look after coordination among activities



Hierarchy: It is a system of ranking Strict rules of authority-responsibility Serves lines of communication and delegation of authority



Division of work: Organisation divided in various departments Each department will have a specific function Clear definition of work

Principles of Management



Official Rules: Administrative process covered by rules Antithesis to ad hoc Provides stability and uniformity



Impersonal Relationships Official relationships free from personal involvement, emotions and sentiments Decisions are based on rational thinking



Official Record: Maintenance of official records Beneficial for future reference Filing system used extensively

Principles of Management

Taylor and Scientific Management



Introduced by Frederick Taylor in 20th century



A worker and then a supervisor in steel company



Carried experiments to increase efficiency of the workers



Published many books and papers



Studied M.E (Masters of Engineering)



His experiments are divided into  Elements and tools of scientific management  Principles of scientific management

Principles of Management

Elements and tools of scientific management 1.

Separation of planning and doing- Supervisor plans, worker only carries out the task

3.

Functional foremanship- 4 types of supervisors for planning aspect, while 4 for supervision aspect of the work

5.

Job Analysis- best way to do a job

7.

Standardisation – of process, period and amount of work, working conditions, tools used etc

Principles of Management

5. Scientific selection and training of workers 6. Financial incentives 7. Economy- optimum usage of resources an eliminate or reduce wastages 8. Mental revolution – cooperation between workers and the management

Principles of Management

Principles of scientific management



Replacing rule of thumb with science



Harmony in group actions



Cooperation



Maximum output



Development of workers

Principles of Management

Critical Analysis of Scientific Management



Relevant from an engineering point of view rather than management point of view



Human aspect of the work was sidelined- workers got aggressive resulting in unhealthy competition



Increased authoritarian approach in industries- strict supervision



Financial incentives exploited the workers (Differential piece rate system)

Principles of Management

Fayol’s Administrative Management



Henry Fayol- French Industrialist



Used the term- Administration instead of Management



Divided industrial organisation into 6 groupsTechnical Commercial Financial Security Accounting Managerial



Identified qualities of a Manager

Principles of Management

Managerial Qualities and training- according to Fayol



Physical- Health, vigour



Mental- ability to learn, judge, think, plan



Moral- loyalty, firmness, tact, dignity



Educational- acquaintance to subjects not related to functions performed



Technical- pertaining to the function performed, eg, production



Experience- arising through work

Principles of Management

Fayol’s 14 principles of Management 1. Division of work To take advantage of specialisation, every worker/ manager works on a same part/function. It increases the accuracy, ability and speed of work. 2. Authority and responsibility Both are related. Authority arises out of a manager’s position and responsibility, out of assignment of activity. Acc, to Fayol, there should be parity (equality) between both. 3. Discipline It can be self imposed, or commanded. Disciple by command arises through company policies.

Principles of Management

4. Unity in command A person should get orders from only one superior. This increases clarity, reduces conflict and builds a personal responsibility for results If it is violated, discipline is lost, importance of authority decreases and stability is threatened. 5. Unity of direction Each group of activities with same objective, must have only one plan and one head. Unity in command defines the reporting relationship, while unity in direction defines the grouping of activities. It ensures better coordination among activities.

Principles of Management

6. Subordination of individual, to general interest Interest of the organisation is more important than the interest of one/few employees, when there is a conflict between the two. Hence, superiors should be the ideals, supervise employees continuously and also have a fair agreement with them. 7. Centralisation An organisation must have a proper balance of centralisation and decentralisation, depending on its size, activities, objectives, employees etc.

Principles of Management

8. Remuneration Should be fair to both- employee and employer In line with cost of living and value of employee Fayol did not advocate profit sharing plan for workers, but for managers 9. Scalar chain It is the flow of authority or command, through which every communication, must pass In special circumstances, this flow can be ‘short-circuited’ in situations, when the scalar chain of communication is non feasible. This is done, using a gang plank

Principles of Management

10. Order This refers to arrangement of things and people in an organisation - A place for everything and everything in place Similarly, the right person must be placed at the right position. This demands for precise knowledge of human requirement and resources 11. Equity - combination of justice and kindness It should be maintained in behaviour and treatment towards employees

Principles of Management

12. Stability of Tenure Employee should be given a minimum job security at least This ensures that he is given time to adjust to new work and succeed in it. 13. Initiative Managers must encourage employees to take initiative, within the limits of their authority. It increases the zeal and energy in the employee 14. Espirit de Corps Union is strength Managers must encourage the team spirit among the employees Erring employees must be given oral directions and not asked for a written explanation

Principles of Management

Hawthorne Experiments-The human relations approach In the approaches by Taylor and Fayol, the human element in the organisation was not stressed upon. 



The elements in these approaches were not giving evoking positive results.

The General Electric Company, Chicago had Hawthorne plant that manufactured telephone bell system 



The company was progressive, with sickness and pension benefits



In spite of this, there was a dissatisfaction among workers

Team of psychologist-Elton Mayo, and sociologists-Whitehead and Roethlisberger studied the phenomenon 

Principles of Management



Experiment I: Two group of workers, experimented with the lighting or illumination and its effect on productivity.



Experiment II: A girls group was chosen who worked in the telephone relay assembly department. 5 types of changes introduced over a period of time and productivity measured after every change.



Experiment III: 20,000 interviews conducted in two years to determine employee’s attitude towards company, work, supervision, waged, insurance, incentives etc.



Experiment IV: 14 male workers were employed and hypothesis was that they would produce more in order to earn more. It was proved wrong due to 4 reasons given by workers for a lesser output.

Principles of Management

Modern TheoriesContributions of behavioral scientists  

Extension of human relation approach Studies: attitude, behaviour, performance of individuals & groups in an organisation

Assumptions: Important to recognise different needs/attitude/perception/values of individuals in an organisation Interpersonal behaviour influenced by various factors Human needs and organisational needs have to be joined together Conflicts in an organisation are unavoidable Contributors include: Maslow, Mcgregor, Herzberg, Argyris, Lewin, Keith Davis etc.

Principles of Management

Quantitative Approach



It uses mathematical techniques to solve management problems



Helps to increase the number of alternatives available, weigh the risks of every alternative, assist faster decision making



Methods used in this approach:     



LPP: Allocation of limited resources among competing uses Simulation Queuing theory: Minimise service cost+ Waiting time Inventory modeling: To determine EOQ, EBQ Regression analysis: To determine relationship among two variables (Inversely/directly proportional etc) Game theory: Anticipate/predict future problems and be ready with a solution/reaction

Principles of Management

Systems Approach



System= A set of inter related components that operate together

Components according to the approach: Inputs Transformation Process Outputs Feedback Environment 

Key concepts in systems approach Open/closed system Sub-systems Synergy (Within the sub-systems) Feedback Mechanism 

Principles of Management

Contingency Approach



Two types of management thinkers- Universalists & Situationalist



Universalists- There is one best approach to management Situationalists- Advocate contingency theory





Contingency theory states- The manager must identify which technique will best contribute to the attainment of management goals, in a given situation



Contingency variables:  Size of the firm  Environment  Resources  Technology  Group dynamics  Individual differences
