  8. Environmentin ca1890 • Industrial revolution • Autocratic management was the norm • “Science" as a solution to the inefficiencies • and injustices of the period • Idea of interchangeable parts The Classical Approach The classical approach (ca1890) to management is a management approach that emphasizes organizational efficiency to increase organizational success.

  9. The Classical Approach • Scientific Management • Frederick W. Taylor • Frank and Lillian Gilbreth • Henry Gantt • Bureaucratic Management • Max Weber • Administrative Management • Henri Fayol

  10. Taylor’s Four Principles of Scientific Management • Scientifically study each part of a task and develop the best method of performing the task. • Carefully select workers and train them to perform the task by using the scientifically developed method. • Cooperate fully with workers to ensure that they use the proper method. • Divide work and responsibility so that management is responsible for planning work methods using scientific principles and workers are responsible for executing the work accordingly.

  11. “Now one of the first requirements for a man who is fit to handle pig iron as a regular occupation is that he shall be so stupid and so phlegmatic that he more nearly resembles in his mental makeup the ox than any other type”- Frederick Taylor

  12. Key Characteristics of Weber’s Ideal Bureaucracy • Specialization of labor • Formal rules and procedures • Impersonality • Well-defined hierarchy • Career advancement based on merit

  13. Division of work Authority Discipline Unity of command Unity of direction Subordination of individual interest to the general interest Remuneration Centralization Scalar chain Order Equity Stability and tenure Initiative Esprit de corps Fayol’s 14 Principles of Administrative Management Planning, Organizing, Commanding, Coordinating, Controlling

  14. What are the limitations of the Classical Approach??

  15. Environmentin ca1910 • The Newtonian science that supported "the one best way" of doing things was being strongly challenged by the "new physics" results of Rutherford and Einstein • In the work place there were strong pressures for shorter hours and employee stock ownership. • As the effects of the 1929 stock market crash and following depression were felt, employee unions started to form The Behavioral Approach The behavioral approach (ca 1910) to management is a management approach that emphasizes increasing organizational success by focusing on human variables within the organization.

  16. Behavioral Perspective • The Hawthorne Studies • Human Relations Approach • Employee motivation • Abraham Maslow • Leadership style • Douglas McGregor

  17. Hawthorne Effect: The discovery that paying special attention to employees motivates them to put greater effort into their jobs. (from the Hawthorne management studies, performed from 1924 – 1932 at Western Electric Company’s plant near Chicago)

  18. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Self-Actualization Need for Self Esteem Need for Social Relations Need for Security Physical Needs

  19. McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y • Leaders and managers who hold Theory X assumptions believe that employees are inherently lazy and lack ambition. • A negative perspective on human behavior. • Leaders and managers who hold Theory Y assumptions believe that most employees do not dislike work and want to make useful contributions to the organization. • A positive perspective on human behavior.

  20. What are the limitations of the behavioral approach?

  21. Environmentin ca1940 • Application of OR in solving complex problems in warfare (WWII) • Significant technological and tactical breakthroughs • Interest in manufacturing and selling after WWII The Management Science Approach The management science approach (ca1940) is a management approach that emphasizes the use of the scientific method and quantitative techniques to increase organizational success.

  22. Environmentin ca1950’s to 60’s” • Growing quality consciousness • Total Quality Management The System Approach The system approach (ca 50’s-60’s) to management is a management approach based on general system theory--the theory that to understand fully the operation of an entity, the entity must be viewed as a system. This requires understanding the interdependence of its parts.

  25. Triangular Management Triangular management is a management approach that emphasizes using information from the classical, behavioral, and manage- ment science schools of thought to manage the open management system.

  26. Triangular Management Model MANAGEMENT SCIENCE-BASED INFORMATION CLASSICALLY BASED INFORMATION BEHAVIORALLY BASED INFORMATION

  27. Environmentin ca1980’s • Slow American productivity improvement • Rise of Japanese companies • Japanese management may offer solutions to this problem Type Z Organization (Theory Z by Ouchi 1981) Theory Z (ca 80’s) suggests that involved workers are the key to an increase in productivity and it offers offers ways to manage (collective decision making, slow evaluation and promotion, and holistic concern for people) so that they can work together more effectively.

  28. Theory Z • “Involved workers are the key to an increase in productivity.” From “Theory Z” by William Ouchi, 1981

  29. Environmentin ca1990’s • Start of Internet age • Highly competitive environment • Emergence of communications technologies • Emergence of new work practices (virtual teams, network organizations) Chaordic Organization (Chaos Theory)(Hock, Dee,1999) Chaos theory (ca 90’s) in management recognizes that events indeed are rarely controlled. Blending chaos with order

  30. Chaordic Organizations Purpose • Clarity of purpose and shared values • Operate through network of equals, not hierarchies Principles, People, and Concept Structure and Practice From “Birth of the Chaordic Age” by Hock, D. 1999

  38. This is actually a slow advance in process management: • Record Management • Workflow - 1970 • Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) - 1990 • Business Process Management (BPR) - 2000 The business process management approach to management is a method of efficiently aligning an organization with the wants and needs of clients. It is a holistic management approach that promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility and integration with technology.
