Today’s Management Outlook
IS MANAGEMENT AN ART OR A SCIENCE?
Management is both an art and a science
Evidence based management involves:observing events and gathering factsposing solutions or explanations based on those factsmaking predictions of future eventstesting predictions under systematic conditions

2.2 Classical Viewpoint: Scientific & Administrative Management
WHAT IS THE CLASSICAL VIEWPOINT?
The classical view of management emphasizes finding ways to manage work more efficiently using two approaches:scientific - emphasizes the scientific study of work methods to improve productivityadministrative - concerned with managing the total organization

2.2 Classical Viewpoint: Scientific & Administrative Management
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth and Frederick W. Taylor pioneered scientific management (emphasized the study or work methods to improve the productivity of individual workers)
Frank & Lillian Gilbreth focused on improving efficiency, and popularized their ideas in the book (and later, the movie), ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin12
2.2 Classical Viewpoint: Scientific & Administrative Management
Frederick Taylor believed that managers could eliminate underachievement, which he called soldiering, by
1. evaluating a task scientifically
2. matching worker ability with the task
3. providing training and incentives
4. using scientific principles to plan work methods and make it easier for workers to do their jobs

2.2 Classical Viewpoint: Scientific & Administrative Management
Administrative management was pioneered by Henri Fayol and Max Weber, and is concerned with managing the total organizationFayol identified the major functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, controlling, and coordinatingWeber believed that an organization should have:
a well-defined hierarchy of authority, formal rules and procedures, a clear division of labor, impersonality, and careers based on merit

2.2 Classical Viewpoint: Scientific & Administrative Management
THE PROBLEM WITH THE CLASSICAL VIEWPOINT: TOO MECHANISTIC
The classical theory essentially argued that by applying the scientific method, time and motion studies, and job specialization, productivity could be raisedHowever, this view may be too mechanistic because it fails to consider human needs
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin18
2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
WHAT IS THE BEHAVIORAL VIEWPOINT?
The behavioral viewpoint of management emphasized the importance of understanding human behavior and of motivating employees toward achievement This perspective was developed over three phases: early behaviorism, the human relations movement, and behavioral science Behavioral theory was pioneered by Hugo Munsterberg, Mary Parker Follett, and Elton Mayo
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin19
2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
Munsterberg believed that psychologists could contribute to industry by:
1. studying jobs and identifying people suited to them
2. identifying the psychological conditions under which employees do their best work
3. devising management strategies to encourage employees to follow management’s interests
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin20
2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
Follett believed that:
1. organizations should operate as communities with managers and employees working cooperatively
2. organizations should resolve conflicts through integration where managers and workers talked over differences
3. managers should be facilitators, and workers should control the work process
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin21
2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
Mayo developed a theory known as the Hawthorne Effect which suggested that employees worked harder if they felt that managers cared about their welfare and paid attention to them
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin22
2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
Abraham Maslow and Douglas McGregor pioneered the human relations movement which proposed that better human relations could increase worker productivity
Maslow argued that people are motivated by a hierarchy of human needs: physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization
McGregor theorized that a manager’s attitudes toward employees could either be Theory X (pessimistic, negative), or Theory Y (optimistic, positive)Understanding the theory can help managers avoid attitudes that become self-fulfilling prophecies

2.3 Behavioral Viewpoint: Behaviorism, Human Relations, & Behavioral Science
The human relations movement was considered too simplistic for practical use It was replaced by the behavioral science approach which relies on scientific research for developing theories about human behavior that can be used to provide practical tools for managers
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin28
2.4 Quantitative Viewpoints: Management Science & Operations Research
WHAT IS THE QUANTITATIVE VIEWPOINT?

2.5 Systems Viewpoint
A system is a set of interrelated parts that operate together to achieve a common purposeThe systems viewpoint sees the organization as a system of interrelated partsThus, an organization is both a collection of subsystems (parts making up the whole system) and a part of the larger environment
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin35
2.5 Systems Viewpoint
There are four parts in a system:inputs (the people, money, information, equipment, and materials required to produce an organization’s goods or services)outputs (the products, services, profits, losses, employee satisfaction or discontent that are produced by the organizationtransformation processes (the organization’s capabilities in management and technology that are applied to converting inputs into outputs)feedback (information about the reaction of the environment to the outputs that affect the inputs)

2.5 Systems Viewpoint
An open system continually interacts with its environmentA closed system has little interaction with its environment
Organizations that ignore feedback from the environment are vulnerable to failure
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin39
Chapter 2: Management Theory

A) a contingency systemB) a transformation systemC) an open system D) a closed system
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin40
2.6 Contingency Viewpoint
WHAT IS THE CONTINGENCY VIEWPOINT?
According to the contingency viewpoint of management, a manager’s approach should vary according to the individual situation and the environmental situation
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin41
2.7 Quality-Management Viewpoint
WHAT IS THE QUALITY-MANAGEMENT VIEWPOINT?
The quality-management viewpoint of the contemporary perspective includes quality control, quality assurance, and total quality management Quality is the total ability of a product or service to meet customer needs, and is one of the best ways to add value to a product and differentiate it from othersQuality control is the strategy for minimizing errors by managing each stage of productionQuality assurance focuses on the performance of workers, and emphasizes a goal of zero defects

Quality Control Standards
Six Sigma () Quality 3.6M defects per million events
Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Continually monitor all phases of production process for quality
Statistical Process Control (SPC) Sample components at each stage and plotting results on a
graph; eliminates need for QC inspection at the end - Deming Cycle (PDCA).
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Linking needs of end users to design, development, engineering,
manufacturing, and service functions
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin43
2.7 Quality-Management Viewpoint
W. Edwards Deming and Joseph M. Juran led the push to total quality management Deming was instrumental in helping Japan develop its focus on quality in manufacturingDeming believed that managers often mistakenly blamed people for mistakes that were actually system failures Juran was also a pioneer in bringing the notion of quality to Japan Juran believed that a product or service should satisfy a customer’s real needs
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin44
2.7 Quality-Management Viewpoint
Total quality management (TQM) is a comprehensive approach dedicated to continuous quality improvement, training, and customer satisfaction
There are four components of TQM:
1. make continuous improvement a priority
2. get every employee involved
3. listen to and learn from employees and customers
4. use accurate standards to identify and eliminate problems

2.8 The Learning Organization In
An Era Of Accelerated Change
WHAT IS A LEARNING ORGANIZATION?
A learning organization is an organization that: creates and acquires knowledgetransfers knowledge within itselfmodifies its behavior to reflect the new knowledgeOrganizations need to be learning organizations in order to deal with the many challenges of today’s fast paced world
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin46
2.8 The Learning Organization In An Era Of Accelerated Change
Some of the challenges include:the rise of virtual organizations - organizations whose members are geographically apart, usually working with e-mail, collaborative computing, and other computer connectionsthe rise of boundaryless organizations - fluid, highly adaptive organizations whose members, linked by information technology, come together to collaborate on common tasks, where collaborators may include competitors, suppliers, and customersthe imperative for speed and innovation
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin47
2.8 The Learning Organization In An Era Of Accelerated Change
the increasing importance of knowledge workers - someone whose occupation is principally concerned with generating or interpreting informationan appreciation for human capital - the economic or productive potential of employee knowledge, experience, and actions an appreciation for the importance of social capital - the economic or productive potential of strong, trusting, and cooperative relationshipsa new emphasis on evidence-based management - management based on the belief that firms need to face the facts about what actually works and what is total nonsense
Kinicki/Williams, Management: A Practical Introduction 3e ©2008, McGraw-Hill/Irwin48
2.8 The Learning Organization In An Era Of Accelerated Change
To build a learning organization, managers must:build a commitment to learninggenerate ideas with impactgeneralize ideas with impact

How to Build a Learning Organization: Three Roles Managers Play
You can build a commitment to learning.Instill an intellectual and emotional commitment to
learning
You can work to generate ideas with impact.Ideas that add value for customers , employees, and
shareholders
You can work to generalize ideas with impact.Reduce barriers to learning among employees and
within your organization. Create climate that reduces conflict, increases communication, promotes teamwork, rewards risk-taking, reduces fear of failure, and increase communication.
