• Job Analysis– Time- Consumption in particular movement– Motion - way of performing activities– Fatigue- Amt of Rest required during job
• Standardization – Instruments, tools, period of work, amount
of work, working condition, cost of production

• Scientific selection and training of workers– Work, Experience, Aptitude, Physical Strength
• Financial Incentives– Differential piece rate
• Economy– Optimum utilization of resources
• Mental revolution– Co-operation between management and
workers

• Managers often implemented only the increased output side of Taylor’s plan.– They did not allow workers to share in increased
output.– Specialized jobs became very boring, dull.– Workers ended up distrusting Scientific
Management.• Workers could purposely “under-perform”• Management responded with increased use of
machines.• Aggressive attitude towards workers• Close strict supervision• Unions opposed differential piece rate

There are three approach of studying Management theory by Fayol
• Managerial Qualities and Training• General Principles of Management• Elements of Management
![Page 68: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Physical (Health , Vigor)• Mental (ability to understand, judgment,)• Moral (energy, firmness, initiative, loyalty,
tact, & dignity)• Educational (Knowledge of the activities)• Technical (Skill to perform effectively)• Experience (arising from the work)
Managerial Qualities and Training

• Henri Fayol, developed a set of 14 principles:
1. Division of Labor: allows for job specialization. Fayol noted firms can have too much
specialization leading to poor quality and worker involvement.
2. Authority and Responsibility: Fayol included both formal and informal authority resulting from special expertise.
3. Unity of Command: Employees should have only one boss.
4. Line of Authority: a clear chain from top to bottom of the firm.
Fayol’s Principles

5. Centralization: the degree to which authority rests at the very top.
6. Unity of Direction: One plan of action to guide the organization.
7. Equity: Treat all employees fairly in justice and respect.
8. Order: Each employee is put where they have the most value.
9. Initiative: Encourage innovation.10. Discipline: obedient, applied, respectful
employees needed.
11. Remuneration of Personnel: The payment system contributes to success.

12. Stability of Tenure: Long-term employment is important.
13. General interest over individual interest: The organization takes precedence over the individual.
14. Esprit de corps: “union is strength” Share enthusiasm or devotion to the organization

Authority is the power to hold people accountable for their actions.
Positions in the firm should be held based on performance not social contacts.
Position duties are clearly identified. People should know what is expected of them.
Lines of authority should be clearly identified. Workers know who reports to who.

Max Weber • Max Weber was a German
sociologist who developed the bureaucratic model.
• His rational bureaucracy states that employees performing a large variety of tasks in any organisation must follow established rules and regulations in order to ensure uniformity and rationality of output.
![Page 76: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
.• He therefore identified the characteristics of
an ideal bureaucracy to show how organizations should be run.
• According to Weber,
• “a bureaucracy is a highly structured, formalized and Impersonal organization”.

• The behavioral school of management emphasized what the classical theorists ignored – the human element.
• The behavioral approach to management emphasized individual attitudes and behaviors and group processes, and recognized the significance of behavioral processes in the work-place.
• The behavioral management theory is also called the human relations theory as it addresses the human dimension of work.
BEHAVIORAL APPROACH
![Page 80: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
• A theory of motivation based upon a consideration of human needs had three assumptions:– Human needs are never completely satisfied.– Human behavior is purposeful and is motivated by the need
for satisfaction.– Needs can be classified according to a hierarchical structure
of importance from the lowest to highest.
![Page 81: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
• Several individuals and experiments contributed to this theory.– Elton Mayo– Abraham Maslow
![Page 82: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
The researchers and scholars associated with the Hawthorne experiments were Elton Mayo, Fritz Roethlisberger, T. N. Whitehead and William Dickson.
Study of worker efficiency at the Hawthorne Works of the General Electric Co. during 1924-1932.◦ Worker productivity was measured at various
levels of light illumination.◦ Researchers found that regardless of whether
the light levels were raised or lowered, productivity rose.
Actually, it appears that the workers enjoyed the attention they received as part of the study and were more productive.

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS PYRAMID
![Page 88: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
These include the most basic needs that are vital to survival such as the need for water, air, food and sleep.
These are the most basic and instinctive needs in the hierarchy because all needs become secondary until these physiological needs are met.
Physiological Needs.
![Page 89: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
• Once physiological needs are met, one’s attention turns to the safety and security in order to be free from threat of physical and emotional harm.
• Such needs might be fulfilled by:– Living in a safe area– Medical insurance– Job security– Financial reserves
Security Needs
![Page 90: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
• These include needs for belonging, love and affection.
• Relationships such as friendships, romantic, attachments and families help fulfill this need for companionship and acceptance, as does involvement in social, community or religion groups.
Social Needs
![Page 91: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
• Once a person feels a sense of belonging, the need to feel important arises.
• Esteem needs may be classified as internal or external.
• Some esteem needs are:– Self-respect– Achievement– Attention– Recognition– Reputation
Esteem Needs
![Page 92: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
• This is the highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
• Self-actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the opinions of others and interested fulfilling their potential.
• Self-actualized people tend to have needs such as:– Truth– Justice– wisdom
Self-actualizing Needs

• The quantitative management prespective emerged during World War II.
This approach focuses on achieving organizational effectiveness through the application of mathematical and statistical concepts.
The three main branches of the quantitative approach are:
1. Management Science2. Operations Management3. Management Information Systems
QUANTITATIVE APPROACH
![Page 94: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Action can be expressed in terms of mathematical symbols, relationships and measurement data
Another name commonly used is Operations Research.
Management 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
This approach has been criticized for its overemphasis of mathematical tools.
Management Science
![Page 95: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
It deals with the effective management of the production process and the timely delivery of an organization's products and services.
It is concerned with:1) Inventory management2) Work scheduling3) Production planning4) Facilities location and design5) Quality assurance.
Operations Management

• MIS focuses on designing and implementing computer based information systems for business organizations.
• It converts raw data into information and provides the needed information to each manager at the right time, in the needed form.
• Charles Babbage was one of the earliest contributor to information system.
Management Information Systems
![Page 97: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
• A system is a set of interdependent parts which together form a unitary whole.
• The organization is a sub-system composed of four interdependent parts – task, structure, people and technology.
• This means is that as managers coordinate work activities in the various parts of the organization,
SYSTEMS APPROACH

“A management approach which says that organization are different , faces different situation (contingencies), and require different ways of managing.”
• Assumes there is no one best way to manage.
CONTINGENCY OR SITUATIONAL APPROACH

Popular Contingency variable◦ Organisation Size
As size increases, so do the problem of coordination. For instance, the type of organization structure appropriate for an organization of 50000 employee is likely to be inefficient for an organization of 50 employee.
◦Routineness of task technologyTo achieve its purpose, an organization
uses technology. Routine technologies require organizational structure, leadership style, And control system that differ from those required by customized or no routine technologies.

– Environmental UncertaintyThe degree of uncertainty caused by
environmental changes influence the management process. What works best in a stable and predictable environment may be totally inappropriate in a rapidly changing and unpredictable environment.
– Individual differencesIndividual differ in terms of their
desire for growth, autonomy, tolerance of ambiguity, and expectation. These and other individual difference are particularly important when managers select motivation techniques, leadership style, and job designs.

Organization Structure• Organization structure is the pattern of jobs
and groups of jobs in an organization.• It can be defined as the arrangement and
interrelationship of the component parts and positions of a company.
• An organization's structure specifies its division of work activities and shows how different functions or activities are linked.
• To some extent it also shoes the level of specialization of work activities.
![Page 104: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)

Definition of Organization Structure
• Organizational Structure according to George and Jones, “ is the formal system of task and reporting relationships that controls, coordinates, and motivates employees so that they cooperate and work together to achieve an organization’s goals”
![Page 106: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
Organizing involves:1. The identification and classification of
required activities.2.The grouping of activities necessary to attain
objectives.3.The assignment of each grouping to a
manager with the authority (delegation) necessary to supervise it.
4.The provision for coordination horizontally (on the same or a similar organizational level) and vertically (for example, corporate headquarters, division, and department) in the organization structure.

Types of Organization Structure• The first task in designing an organization
structure is to identify all the activities of the organization and group them properly.
• This process of grouping the activities is commonly known as departmentation.
• The departmentation divides a large and complex organization into smaller and more flexible administrative units.
• It is the process of grouping activities and delegating authority to managers.
![Page 111: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
• There are various types of organization structures:
1. Line structure2. Line and staff structure3. Functional structure 4. Divisional structure5. Hybrid structure 6. Matrix structure
![Page 112: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Line Structure• Line Structure is the simplest form of
organization and is most common among small companies.
• The authority is embedded in the hierarchical structure and it flows in a direct line from the top of the managerial hierarchy down to different levels of managers and subordinates and further down to the operative level of workers.
• It clearly identifies authority, responsibility and accountability at each level.
![Page 113: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
• These relationship in the hierarchy connect the position and tasks at each level with those above and below it.
• There is clear unity of command so that the person at each level is reasonably independent of any other person at the same level and is responsible only to the person above him.

Advantages of Line Structure• Because of the small size of the company
the line structure is simple and the authority are clear-cut, easily assignable and traceable.
• Communication is fast and easy.• Feedback from the employees can be acted
upon faster.• Effective Control and Discipline can be
easily exercised.
![Page 116: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Disadvantages of Line Structure• In a rigid form of organization, there is a
tendency for the line authority to become dictatorial, it may be resented by the employees
• Also, there is no provision for specialists and specialization which is essential for the growth and optimization and hence for growing companies, pure line type of structure becomes ineffective
![Page 117: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Line and Staff Structure• In this type of organization, the functional
specialists are added to the line, thus giving the line advantages of specialists.
• This type of Organizational Structure is most common among large enterprises.
• Staff is basically advisory in nature and usually does not possess and command authority over line managers.
![Page 118: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Types of StaffTwo Types:General StaffSpecial Staff
General Staff: This group has general background which is
usually similar to the background of executives and serves as assistant to top management in one capacity or another
For Example: Special assistants, assistant managers, or in a
college setting as deputy chairpersons
![Page 119: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Special Staff:• Unlike the general staff who generally
assists only one line executive, the specialized staff provides expert advice and service to all on a company wide basis
• This group has a specialized background in some functional area and it could serve in any of the following capacities:
1. Advisory Capacity2. Service Capacity3. Control Capacity
![Page 120: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Advisory Capacity: The primary purpose of this group is to render specialized advice and assistance to management when needed. Some typical areas covered by advisory staff are legal, public relations and economic development.
Service Capacity: This groups provide a service which is useful to the
organization as a whole and not to any particular division or function.
Example: Personnel Department serving the organization by
procuring the needed personnel for all departments. Other example is Research and Development, Purchasing and so on
![Page 121: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
• Control Capacity: This group includes quality control staff who may have the authority to control the quality and enforce standards.
![Page 122: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)

Advantages of Line and Staff• The specialized advice improves the quality
of the decisions resulting in operational economies
• Staff specialists are conceptually oriented towards looking ahead and have the time and training to assist in strategic planning and analyze the possible effects of expected future events
• Line Managers are generally occupied with their day –to –day current operation, they do not have the time or background for future planning and policy formulation
![Page 124: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
Disadvantages of Line and Staff• Confusion and Conflict arise between line and
staff.
• High Cost due to the confusion and conflict.
• Tendency of staff personnel to build their own image and worth.
• Building Staff Self Image, at the cost of undermining the authority and responsibility of line executives.
![Page 125: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
Functional Structure• This groups positions into departments
according to their main functional areas
• Some of the main functions of most organizations are those of production, marketing, finance, human resources, legal, research and development and so on
• The chain of command in each function leads to a functional head who in turns reports to the top manager
![Page 126: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/126.jpg)

Divisional Structure• Alternative to function structure is the
divisional structure which allows an organization to coordinate intergroup relationships more effectively.
• It involves grouping of people or activities with similar characteristics into a single department or unit.
• Also known as “self-contained structures”, organizations operates as if they were small organizations under a large organizational umbrella.
![Page 129: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
• The decision are generally decentralized so that the departments guide their own activities
• This facilitates communications, coordination, and control, thus contributing to the organizational success
• Also, because the units are independent and semi-autonomous , it provides satisfaction to the managers and this in turn improves efficiency and effectiveness
![Page 130: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Forms of Divisional Structures
Basically three major forms of divisional structures that companies can choose from:
1. Product Structure
2. Customer Structure
3. Geography Structure
![Page 131: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/131.jpg)
Product Structure• In this type of structure, the units are formed
according to the type of product. • More useful in multi-line corporations, where
product expansion and diversification and manufacturing and marketing characteristics of the production are of primary concern.
• While the general policies are decided upon by the top management within the philosophical guidelines of the organization, each division is autonomous and strive to improve and expand its own product line.
• Each Divisional General Manager is responsible for its costs, profits, failures and successes.
![Page 132: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/132.jpg)
![Page 133: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Product Structure
Advantages• Clear focus on
market segment helps meet customers’ needs
• Positive competition between divisions
• Better control as each division can act as separate profit centre
Disadvantages• Duplication of
functions (e.g. different sales force for each division)
• Negative effects of competition
• Lack of central control over each separate division
![Page 134: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Customer Structure • Customer divisions are divisions set up to
service particular types of clients or customers.• These divisions cater to different needs of
various segments of customers.• The importance of customer satisfaction has
stimulated firms to search for creative ways to serve people better
• Organizations with customer-based departments are better able to satisfy customer-identified needs than organizations that base departments on non-customer factors
![Page 135: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Division by Customers
![Page 136: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
Geographic Division• These are divisions designed to serve
different geographic areas.• Under this method, territory or location is
taken as the basis for organizing.• This is common in organizations that
operate over wide geographic areas such as banking, insurance and transportation firms.
• This type of organization structure is often adopted when it is important to provide products and services that are customized to the needs of different regions.
![Page 137: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/137.jpg)
• Generally business firms resort to this structural form when similar operations are undertaken in different geographic areas as in chain retailing, wholesaling, automobile-assembling, etc.
![Page 138: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/138.jpg)

Geographic Division
Advantages
• Serve local needs better • Positive competition• More effective communication between firm
and local customers
Disadvantages
• Conflict between local and central management• Duplication of resources and functions
![Page 140: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
Hybrid Structure• Hybrid organizational structures combine
two or more traditional organizational design formats based on strategy and business needs.
• Hybrid structure is a form of departmentalization that adopts both functional and divisional structures at the same level of management.
• Many large organizations adopt this structure so as to incorporate the advantages of both functional and divisional structures.
![Page 141: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/141.jpg)
• The functional structure is adopted to derive the benefits of economies of scale, greater competence of managers and efficiency in resource utilization.
• While the divisional structures is created to focus on products, services or markets.
![Page 142: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/142.jpg)

Advantages of Hybrid Structure• The organization can achieve a specific
competency and economies of scale in prime functional areas along with focus on products, services and markets.
• It also facilitates adaptability and flexibility in handling diverse product or service lines, territories or differing needs of customers, through a partially divisional structure.
• It helps to strike balance between divisional and corporate goals.
![Page 144: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
Matrix Structure• The combining of functional and project
or product patterns of departmentation in the same organization structure.
• Attempts to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of both the functional and product bases.
• Superimpose a horizontal structure of authority, influence, and communication on the vertical structure.
• Facilitates the utilization of highly specialized staff and equipment.

• In figure marketing, HR, R&D, Finance, Production represent the functional department that comprise the horizontal hierarchy; the mangers of Product/Project A B & C represent divisional units operates vertically.
• Here, employee has to report to two matrix bosses. So it violates the rule of Unity of Command
• A matrix structure is often seen in construction (building bridge, dam), aerospace(designing or launching satellite), a consultancy firm where professional experts work together on a project.

Matrix Stages• Stage 1
– Is a traditional structure, generally a functional one. This structure follows the unity-of-command principle.
• Stage 2– Here, Managerial integrator positions are established . These are
developed so that individuals can take responsibility for particular projects (ex. project managers), overseas product launches (ex product manager) where coordination across functional departments is necessary.
• Stage 3– Here, the managerial integrators operate on a permanent basis(ex . Brand managers takes care of issues pertinent to a brand regularly)
• Stage 4– Is a mature matrix. Matrix Bosses have equal power.

Guidelines for Making Matrix Management Effective
1. Define the objectives of the project or task.2. Clarify the roles, authority, and responsibilities of managers
and team members.3. Ensure that influence is based on knowledge and
information, rather than on rank.4. Balance the power of functional and project managers.5. Select an experienced manager for the project who can
provide leadership.6. Undertake organization and team development.7. Install appropriate cost, time, and quality controls that
report deviations from standards in a timely manner.8. Reward project managers and team members fairly.

MGT/M3/SS
When to consider a matrix structure?• If an organization product portfolio is very wide,
it may adopt product division but rapid developments in engineering & technology may necessitate it to adopt functional structure.
• When the external environment of org is changing and uncertain, and they have to process large amounts of information and coordinate activities to develop newer and better products.
• When org need to be flexible in using the functional resources across various products or projects.
![Page 154: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)
Advantages of Matrix Organization
• Efficient use of resources• Flexibility in conditions of change and
uncertainty• Technical excellence• Freeing top management for long-range
planning• Improving motivation and commitment• Providing opportunities for personal
development
![Page 155: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Disadvantages of Matrix Organization
• Administration costs are higher because of the additional hierarchy of project managers and their immediate support staff.
• As the individuals working within the matrix structure report to two bosses, unity of command may not be there.
• Due to the dual authority system and the need for greater communication, the possibility of conflicts is greater between functional managers and project managers.
![Page 156: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
• Individuals are too engrossed with maintaining good relations with their peers and tend to neglect the project goals and clients.
• Though it is adaptable to change, it is sometimes extremely slow in responding to changes.
![Page 157: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/157.jpg)
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN• It is defined ass the process of developing
the organizational structure.• It plays a key role in determining an
appropriate organizational structure• The importance of designing a structure is
that is design an organization structure that is appropriate to the people, technology and tasks of the organization.
• Managers take into consideration a number of factor when designing organization structure.
![Page 158: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/158.jpg)
Organizational Design• It is a process that involve decisions about
six key elements:1. Work specialization2. Departmentalization3. Chain of command4. Span of control5. Centralization and Decentralization6. Formalization
![Page 159: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/159.jpg)
Work specialization• Work specialization is dividing work activities into
separate job tasks. Individual employees specialize in doing part o\f an activity rather than the entire activity in order to increase work output.
• It helps employee be more efficient.• However when it’s carried to extreme , work
specialization can lead to problem including boredom, fatigue, stress, poor quality, increase absenteeism, reduced performance, and increased turnover.
• Ex; Cairn , TATA steel, American Express, use minimal work specialization and instead give employee a broad range of tasks to do.
![Page 160: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Departmentalization
• Departmentalization is a process in which an organization is structurally divided by combining jobs in departments according to some shared characteristic or basis.
![Page 161: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)

Chain of commandThe continuous line of authority that extends
from upper levels of an organization to the lowest levels of the organization and clarifies who reports to who.
• To understand the chain of command, you have to understand three other concepts:AuthorityResponsibilityUnity of command
![Page 163: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
• Authority:- refers to the rights inherent in a managerial position to tell people what to do and to expect them to do it.
• Responsibility :- Responsibility is one’s obligation or expectation to perform the function assigned to the best of one’s ability in accordance with directions received.
• Unity of command:- the management principle that each person should report to only one manager.

Span of Management/Control• According to Kathryn M. Bartol and David
C. Martin, “ the span of management or span of control is the number of subordinates who report directly to a specific manager.”
The number of employees who can be effectively and efficiently supervised by a manager.• Narrow Span • Wide Span
![Page 165: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
• Wide span of control means one manager supervises many members
• Narrow span of control means one manager supervises a small number of members
![Page 166: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/166.jpg)

Tall Versus Flat Structure
• Tall Structure– A tall structure comprises many hierarchical levels
with narrow spans of control.– As the no of level increase , the effort and
expenditure involved in managing them also increases so it is an expensive affair
– Communication gets unduly complicated.– Numerous departments and level make the
planning and controlling tasks complicated.
![Page 168: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/168.jpg)
MGT/M3/SS
• Flat Structure– It has a wide span of cont and fewer hierarchical
levels.– Here tasks are highly inter-related, as a result,
control and coordination are negatively affected.

Centralization and Decentralization
• Koontz and O’Donnell state, ‘the problem of centralization of authority is consequently a basic phase of the principle of delegation. To the extent the authority is not passed on, it is centralized.’
• Thus decentralization takes place when authority is delegated.
• According to Henri Fayol, “ Everything that goes to increase the importance of the subordinates’ role is decentralization, everything which goes to reduce it is centralization”
![Page 171: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/171.jpg)
Centralization• Centralization is the systematic and consistent
reservation of authority at the central point within the organization.
• According to Henri Fayol, “ Everything that goes to increase the importance of the subordinates’ role is decentralization, everything which goes to reduce it is centralization”
• Every manager should reserve certain amount of authority for those decision which are of strategic nature and which can not be taken by the managers at the lowest level objectively and prospectively.

Factors affecting Centralization
• Leadership• Integration requirement• Uniform action• Emergency• Insufficiency of managerial manpower• Monetary and vital decisions

Disadvantages of Centralization• Lack of specialization• Load on the top executive• Inappropriate and undeveloped decisions• Volatility when top executive is not available.• Ignorance of human factor• Misuse of power by top executive• Non-compliance• Dishonesty and partiality• Undesirable effect of motivation due the
dictatorial and repressive attitude of top executive.

Decentralization• Decentralization refers to the systematic
effort to delegate to the lowest level all authority except that which can only be exercised at central points.
• It generally spreads level by level from the top to the bottom.
• According to Keith Davis, ‘Dispersal of the authority and duties to the lowest unit in the organization so far as it is feasible is called decentralization.’

Factors affecting Decentralization• Load of top executives• Requirement for diversification• Hold on the market• Growth of Managers• Motivational development• Size of the organization• No of Levels in the org structure• Availability of manager with skill,
knowledge and ability

Disadvantages of Decentralization
• Difficulties of co-ordination• Waste of staff• Damaging in emergency• Problems of control• Increased administrative costs• Internal constraints
![Page 179: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
Formalization It is the degree to which jobs within the
organization are standardized and the extent to which employee behavior is guided by rules and procedures.
• It is the extent to which expectations regarding the means and ends of work are specified, written, and enforced.
• Highly formalized jobs offer little discretion over what is to be done.
• Low formalization means fewer constraints on how employees do their work.
![Page 180: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)
• High formalization: Formal rules and procedures used to standardize operations– Usually associated with centralized
authority• Low formalization: Coordination by mutual
adjustment rather than formal rules & procedures– Usually associated with decentralized
authority

Organization Design ModelsThe Mechanistic Model
• Emphasizes importance of achieving high levels of production and efficiency through:– Extensive use of rules and
procedures– Centralized authority– High specialization of labor
The Organic Model• Emphasizes importance of
achieving high levels of production and efficiency through:– Limited use of rules and
procedures– Decentralized authority– Relatively low degrees of
specialization

Comparison of Mechanistic and Organic Structures
Process Mechanistic Structure Organic Structure
1. Leadership Includes no perceived confidence and trust between superiors and subordinates.
Includes perceived confidence and trust between superiors and subordinates.
2. Motivation Taps only physical, security, and economic motives, through use of fear and sanctions.
Taps a full range of motives through participatory methods.
3. Communication Information flows downward and tends to be distorted, inaccurate, and viewed with suspicion by subordinates.
Information flows freely: upward, downward, and laterally. The information is accurate and undistorted.
![Page 183: Management-1-Module-123](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5550c260b4c905ff618b53dc/html5/thumbnails/183.jpg)
Comparison of Mechanistic and Organic Structures

4. Interaction Closed and restricted. Subordinates have little effect on departmental goals, methods, and activities.
Open and extensive. Both superiors and subordinates are able to affect departmental goals, methods, and activities.
5. Decision Relatively centralized. Occurs only at the top of the organization.
Relatively decentralized. Occurs at all levels through group processes.
6. Goal setting Located at the top of the organization, discouraging group participation.
Encourages group participation in setting high, realistic objectives.

7. Control Centralized. Emphasizes fixing blame for mistakes.
Dispersed throughout the organization. Emphasizes self-control and problem solving.
8. Performance goals
Low and passively sought by managers, who make no commitment to developing the organization’s human resources.
High and actively sought by superiors, who recognize the need for full commitment to developing, through training, the organization’s human resources.
