8Ps of Integrated Service Management
Product. Managers must select the features of both the core product and the bundle of
supplementary service elements surrounding it, with reference to the benefits desired bycustomers and how well competing products perform. In short, they must be attentive to all
aspects of the service performance that have the potential to create value for customers.
Place. Delivering product elements to customers involves decisions on the place and time of
delivery as well as on the methods and channels employed. Delivery may involve physical or
electronic distribution channels, depending on the nature of the service being provided. Use of
messaging services and the Internet allows information-based services to be delivered in
cyberspace for retrieval by telephone or computer wherever and whenever it suits the customer.
Firms may deliver service directly to customers or through intermediary organizations, such as
retail outlets that receive a fee or percentage of the selling price to perform certain tasks
associated with sales, service, and customer contact, speed and convenience of place and time
for the customer are becoming important determinants in service delivery strategy.
Process. Creating and delivering product elements to customers requires the design and
implementation of effective processes that describe the method and sequence of actions in
which service operating systems work. Badly designed processes are likely to annoy customers
when the latter experience slow bureaucratic, and ineffective service delivery. Similarly, poorprocesses make it difficult for frontline staff to do their jobs well, result in low productivity,
and increase the likelihood of service failures.
Productivity and Quality. These elements, often treated separately, should be treated
strategically as interrelated. No service firm can afford to address either element in isolation.
Productivity relates to how inputs are transformed into outputs that are valued by customers,
whereas quality refers to the degree to which a service satisfies customers by meeting their
needs, wants, and expectations. Improving productivity is essential to keep costs under control,
but managers must beware of making inappropriate cuts in service levels that are resented bycustomers (and perhaps by employees, too).Service quality, as defined by customers, is
essential for product differentiation and building customer loyalty. However, investing in
quality improvement without understanding the tradeoff between incremental costs and
incremental revenues may hurt profitability.
People. Many services depend on direct, personal interaction between customers and a firms
employees (such as getting a haircut or eating at a restaurant ). The nature of these interactions
strongly influences the customers perceptions of service quality. Customers will often judge
the quality of the service they receive based on their assessment of the people providing thatservice. They may also make judgments about other customers they encounter. Successful

service firms devote significant effort to recruiting, training, and motivating their personnel.
Firms often seek to manage customer behavior, too.
Promotion and Education. No marketing program can succeed without effectivecommunications. This component plays three vital roles: providing needed information and
advice, persuading target customers of the merits of a specific product, and encouraging them
to take action at specific times. In services marketing, much communication is educational in
nature, especially for new customers. Companies may need to teach these customers about the
benefits of the service, as well as where and when to obtain it, and provide instructions on how
to participate in service processes. Communications can be delivered by individuals, such as
salespeople and trainers, or through such media as TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, posters,
brochures, and Web sites. Promotional activities may serve to marshal arguments in favor of
selecting a particular brand or use incentives to catch customers attention and motivate them to
act.
Physical Evidence. The appearance of buildings, landscaping, vehicles, interior furnishing,
equipment, staff members, signs, printed materials, and other visible cues all provide tangible
evidence of a firms service quality. Service firms need to manage physical evidence carefully,
because it can have a profound impact on customers impressions. In services with few tangible
elements, such as insurance, advertising is often employed to create meaningful symbols. For
instance, an umbrella may symbolize protection, and a fortress, security.
Price and Other User Costs. This component addresses management of the expenditures and
other outlays incurred by customers in obtaining benefits from the service product.
Responsibilities are not limited to the traditional pricing tasks of establishing the selling price
to customers, setting trade margins, and establishing credit terms. Service managers also
recognize and, where practical, seek to minimize other burdens that customers may bear in
purchasing and using a service, including time, mental and physical effort, and unpleasant
sensory experiences, such as noises and smells.
Historical Development of Management
Taylors Major Concern
An American engineer who worked his way through evening studies for his qualifications.
From being an engineer in a steel company he became one of the first of a new breed of very
influential management writers and theorists. He is known for defining the techniques of
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM

scientific management which is the study of relationships between people and tasks for the
purpose of redesigning the work process to increase efficiency.
He was writing at a time when factories were creating big problems for management who
needed new methods for dealing with the management challenges.
Taylor was one of the first to attempt to systematically analyze behaviour at work. His modelwas the machine therefore his ideas are often characterised as the machine model of
organisations. Each task was broken down to its smallest unit to identify the best way to do
each job. Then the supervisor, would teach it to the worker and make sure the worker did only
those actions essential to the task..
Taylors major concern throughout most of his life was to increase efficiency in production, not
only to lower cost and raise profits but also to make possible increased pay for workers through
their higher productivity. As a young man working in machine shops, he was impressed with
the degree of soldiering on the job, of making work, and of producing less rather than more,due primarily to the workers ear that they might work themselves out of a job if they produced
more. He saw soldiering as a system. Form his own experience, he knew that much higher
productivity was possible without unreasonable effort by the workers.
Taylor decided that the problem of productivity was a matter of ignorance on the part of both
management and labor. Part of this ignorance arose from the fact that neither managers nor
workers know what constituted a fair days work were concerned too much with how they
should divide the surplus that arose from productivity-the split in thinking between pay and
profits-and not enough with increasing the surplus so that both owners and laborers could get
more compensation. In brief, Taylor was productivity as the answer to both higher wages and
higher profits. He believed that the application of scientific methods, instead of custom and rule
of thumb, could yield productivity without the expenditure of more human energy or effort.
Major Contribution to Management
Scientific management
Frederick W. Taylor, Shop Management 1903, Principles of Scientific Management 1911,
Testimony before the special House Committee 1912.
Acknowledged as the father of scientific management. His primary concern was to increase
productivity through greater efficiency in production and increased pay for workers, through
the application of the scientific method. His principles emphasized using science, creating
group harmony and cooperation, achieving maximum output, and developing works.

Henry L. Gantt 1990
Called for scientific selection of workers and harmonious cooperation between labor and
management. Developed the gantt. Stressed the need for training.
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth 1900.
Frank is known primarily for his time and motion studies. Lillian, and industrial psychologist,
focused on the human aspects of work and the understanding of workers personalities and
needs.
Modern Operational Management Theory
Herri Fayol, Administration Industrielle et Generale 1916
Referred to as the father of modern management theory Divided industrial activities into six
groups : technical, commercial, financial, security, accounting and managerial. Recognized the
need for teaching management. Formulated fourteen principles of management, such as
authority and responsibility, unity of command, scalar chain, and esprit de corps.
Behavioral Sciences

Vilfredo Pareto (books 1896-1917)
Referred to as the father of the social systems approach to organization and management.
Elton Mayo and F.J. Roethlisberger 1933
Famous studies at the Hawthorne plant of the western electric company. Influence of social
attitudes and relationships of work groups on performance.
Taylors Principles
The fundamental principles that Taylor saw underlying the scientific approach to management
are summarized in the Perspective below. You will notice that these basic precepts of Taylors
are not far from the fundamental beliefs of the modern manager. It is true that some of the
techniques Taylor and his colleagues and followers developed in order to put his philosophy
and principles into practice had certain mechanistic aspects. To determine what a fair days
work was and to help in finding the one best way of doing any given job, the careful study of
time and motion was widely applied. Likewise, various pay plans based on.
Replacing rules of thumb with science (organized knowledge.
Obtaining harmony in group action, rather than discord.
Achieving cooperation of human beings, rather than chaotic individualism.
Working for maximum output, rather than restricted output.
Developing all workers to the fullest extent possible for their own and their companys highest
prosperity.
Output were used in an attempt to increase the surplus to make sure that workers who produced
were paid according to their productivity, and to give workers an incentive for performance.
As they often were by many factory owners throughout the world, to increase labor
productivity without providing ample reward, adequate training, or managerial help. But this
was certainly not what Frederick Taylor had in mind.
Taylor emphasized the importance of careful advance planning by managers and the
responsibility of manager to design work systems so that workers would be helped to do their

best. But as he spoke of management, he never overlooked the fact that the relations between
employers and men form without question the most important part of this art.
Henri Fayol
The Father Of Modern Operational Management Theory
Henri Fayol (1841-1925) a French engineer. His key work was Administration Industrielle
et Generale, 1916He belongs to the Classical School of management theory and was writing
and exploring administration and work about same time as F W Taylor in USA.
The real father of modern management theory is the French industrialist Henri Fayol. Althoughthere is little evidence that management scholars, either in England or in the United States, paid
much heed to Fayols work or knew much about it unit the 1920s or even year later, his acute
observations on the principles of general management first appeared in 1916 in French.
Although the work of Fayol was brought to the attention of American management scholars in
1923 by Sarah Greers translation of one of Fayols paper.
Industrial Activates.
Fayol found that activates of an industrial undertaking could be divided into six groups,
Technical (production), Commercial (Buying, selling, and exchanging), Financial (Search for
and optimum use of capital), Security (Protection of property and persons), Accounting
(including Statistics)and Managerial (Planning, Organization, Command, Coordination and
control).
Noting that principles of management are flexible, not absolute, and must be usable regardless
of changing and special conditions, Fayol listed fourteen, based on his experience. They are
summarized in the perspective.
General Principles Of Management
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
7/56
1. Division of work. This is the specialization that economists consider necessary for
efficiency in the use of labor. Fayol applies the principle to all kinds of work,
managerial as well as technical.
2. Authority & responsibility. Here Fayol finds authority and responsibility to be related,
with the latter arising from the former. He sees authority as a combination of official
factors, deriving from the manager position and personal factors.
3. Discipline. Seeing discipline as respect for agreements which are directed at achieving
obedience, application, energy, and the outward marks of respect. Fayol declares that
discipline requires good superiors at all levels.
4. Unity of command. This means that employees should receive orders from one
superior only.
5. Unity of direction. According to this principle, each group of actives with the same
objective must have one head and one plan.
6. Subordination of individual to general interest. This is self explanatory when the two
are found to differ, management must reconcile them.
7. Remuneration. Remuneration and methods of payment should be fair and afford the
maximum possible satisfaction to employees and employer.
8. Centralization. Without using the term Centralization of authority. Fayol refers to
the extent to which authority is concentrated or dispersed. Individual circumstances will
determine the degree that will give the best overall yield.
9. Scalar chain. Fayol thinks of this as a chain of superiors from the highest to the lowest
ranks, which, while not to be departed from needlessly, should be short circuited when
to follow it scrupulously would be detrimental.
10. Order. Breaking this into material and social order, Fayol follows the simple adage of a
place for everything and everything in its place.
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
8/56
11. Equity. Loyalty and devotion should be elicited from personnel by a combination of
kindliness and justice on the part of managers when dealing with subordinators.
12. Stability of tenure. Finding unnecessary turnover to be both the cause and the effect of
bad management, Fayol points out its dangers and costs.
13. Initiative. Initiative is conceived of as the thinking out and execution of a plan. Since it
is one of the keenest satisfactions for an intelligent man to experience.
14. Esprit de corps. This is principle that in union there is strength as well as an
extension of the principle of unity of command, emphasizing the need for teamwork
and the importance of communication in obtaining it.
Function of Management
Management is the process of achieving organizational goals by engaging in the four major
functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. This definition recognizes that
management is an ongoing activity, entails reaching important goals, and involves knowing
how to perform the major functions of management. Since these functions are crucial to
effective management. We use them as the basic framework for this book. Accordingly, parts
tow through five of the test are devoted, respectively, to planning, organizing, leading, and
controlling.
Planning
Planning is the management function that involves setting goals and deciding how best to
achieve them.
Organizing
Organizing is the management function that focuses on allocating and arranging human and
nonhuman resources so that plans can be carried out successfully. Through the organizingfunction manager determine which tasks are to be done.
-

9/56
Leading
Leading is the management function that involves influencing others to engage in the work
behaviors necessary to reach organizational goals. Leading includes communicating withothers, helping to outline a vision of what can be accomplished, providing, direction, and
motivating organization members to put forth the substantial effort required. This function also
includes encouraging the necessary levels of change and innovation.
Controlling
Controlling is the management function aimed at regulating organizational activities so that
actual performance conforms to expected organizational standards and goals. To do thenecessary regulating, managers need to monitor ongoing activities.
Key management Skills
In addition to having a knowledge base, managers need certain skills to carry out the various
functions of management. A skill is the ability to engage in a set of behaviors that are
functionally related to one another and that lead to a desired performance level in a given are.For managers, three types of skills are necessary :
Technical Skills
Technical skills that reflect both an understanding of and a proficiency in a specialized field.
For example, a manager may have technical skills in accounting, finance, engineering,
manufacturing, or computer science.
Human Skills
Human skills are skills associated with managers ability to work well with others, both as a
member of a group and as a leader who gets things done through other.

10/56
Conceptual Skills
Conceptual skills related to the ability to visualize the organization as a whole, discern
interrelationships among organizational parts, and understand how the organization fits into the
wider context of the industry, community, and world. Conceptual skills, coupled with technical
skills, human skills and knowledge base, are important ingredients in organizational
performance.
Job Types Of Managerial
Although we hae been discussing the nature of managerial work in general, managerial jobs
vary somewhat on the basis of two important dimensions. One is a vertical dimension, focusing
on different hierarchical levels in the organization. The other is a horizontal dimension,
addressing variations in managers responsibility areas. We explore these dimensions and their
implications in this section. Because of its importance in fostering innovation, we give special
attention to the entrepreneurial role at various hierarchical levels.
Vertical Dimension : Hierarchical Levels
Along the vertical dimension, managerial jobs in organizations fall into three categories : first-
line, middle, and top management. These categories represent vertical differentiation amongmanagers because they involve three different levels of the organization.
First-Line Managers
First-line managers (or first-line supervisors) are managers at the lowest level of the
hierarchical who are directly responsible for the work of operating (no managerial) employees.
They often have titles that include the work supervisor. First-line managers are extremely
important to the success of an organization because they have the responsibility of seeing that
day-to-day operations run smoothly in pursuit of organizational goals. Because they operate atthe interface between management and the rest of the work force.

12/56
The relative importance of planning, organizing, leading and controlling varies somewhat
depending on managerial level. Planning tends to be more important for top managers than for
middle or first-line managers. This is primarily because top managers are responsible for
determining the overall direction of the organization, a charge that requires extensive planning.
At the same time, organizing is somewhat more important for both top and middle managersthan for first-line managers. This stems from the fact that it is the top and middle levels of
management that are mainly responsible for allocating and arranging resources, even though
this function is also performed to some extent by first-line supervisors.
In contrast, leading substantially more important for first-line supervisors than for managers at
higher levels. Since first-line supervisors are charged with the ongoing production of goods or
services, they must engage in substantially higher amounts of communicating, motivating,
directing, and supporting. All of which are associated with leading.
Finally, the management function that is most similar at all three hierarchical levels is
controlling. This similarity reflects a common degree of emphasis at all levels on monitoringactivities and taking corrective action as needed.
Management Skills
The three levels of management also differ in the importance attached to the key skills
discussed earlier: technical, human, and conceptual. Generally, conceptual skills are mostimportant at the top management level. Top managers have the greatest need to see the
organization as a whole, understand how its various parts relate to one another and associate
the organization with the world outside. Whirlpools David Whitwam points out that looking at
an organization as a whole can be difficult, particularly when a company is doing well and
there is not imminent crisis on the horizon. He said that Whirlpool was doing well
domestically, but nevertheless, top management faced up to the challenge of looking at the big
picture because they could envision their future growing more difficult and complicated. When
they took a more holistic view, they realized that they had to globalize to survive and prosper.
In contrast, first-line managers have the greatest need for technical skills, since they directly
supervise most of the technical and professional employees who are not manager. Yet middle
managers, too often need sufficient technical skills so that they can communicate with
subordinates and recognize major problems. Even top managers must have some technical
skills, particularly when technology is an important part of the products or services their
organizations produce.
Not surprisingly, all three levels of managementrequire strong human skills because they all must getthings done through people. Ironically, promotions to
first-level management are often based on individualsgood technical skills, with little consideration given to

entrepreneurial role varies in some important way depending on a managers level in the
hierarchy.
Promoting Innovation: The Entrepreneurial Role
An innovation is a new idea applied to imitating or improving a process, product, or service.
The process of innovation is closely allied with the entrepreneurial role in organizations,
particularly since that role relates to discovering and exploiting new opportunities. In fact,
innovative activities in organizations, especially major ones, have frequently been refereed to
as entrepreneurship within organization. More recently, individuals who engage in
entrepreneurial roles inside organization are often called entrepreneurs. The term is used to
differentiate innovators working inside existing organizations from individuals who innovate
by creating new organizations. Encouraging innovation in organizations takes special effort.
Furthermore, successful innovations are rarely the product of only one person work. Rather, the
innovative process usually involves individuals at various level who fulfill three different types
of entrepreneurial roles :
Idea Champion
An idea champion is an individual who generates a new idea or believes in the value of a new
idea and supports it in the face of numerous potential obstacles. We often thin of such
individuals as entrepreneurs, inventors, creative individuals, or risk takers. They are usuallyindividuals at lower levels in the organization who recognize a problem and help develop a
solution.
Sponsor
A sponsor is an individual, usually a middle manager, who recognizes the organizational
significance of an idea, helps obtain the necessary funding for development of the innovation,
and facilitates its actual implementation. Sponsors tend to be middle manager because their
higher-lever position in the organization makes it more feasible for them to provide the strongbacking necessary for the survival of innovations.
Orchestrate
An ORCHESTRATOR is a high-level manager who articulates the need for innovation,
provides funding for innovating activates, creates incentives for middle managers to sponsor
new ideas, and protects idea people. Because innovations often constitute a challenge to the
current ways of doing things, they are frequently resisted by those who are comfortable with orhave a particular stake in the status quo. An ORCHESTRATOR maintains the balance of
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
15/56
power so that new ideas have a chance to be tested in the face of possible negative reactions.
By filling the role of orchestrator, top managers encourage innovation.
Without all three roles, major innovations are much less likely to occur. The development ofthe VHS videocassette recorder at JVC illustrates the importance of entrepreneurial, or
innovative, roles at the various levels of the organization.
Ultimately, the indirect intervention of Matsushita as an orchestrator became crucial. These
three types of entrepreneurial roles constitute another vertical difference among managers.
Horizontal Dimension : Responsibility Areas
In addition to their vertical differences, managerial jobs differ on a horizontal dimension that
relates to the nature of the responsibility area involved. In horizontal differentiation, there are
three major types of managerial jobs : Functional, General, and Project.
Functional Managers
General managers are managers who have responsibility for a whole organization or a
substantial subunit that includes most of the common specialized areas. In other words, a
general manager presides over a number of functional areas. General managers have a variety
of titles, such as division manager and president, depending on the circumstances. A small
company will usually have only one general manager, who is the head of the entire
organization. Depending on how it is organized, a large company may have several general
managers (in addition to the chief executive officer) each of whom usually presides over a
major division.
Project Managers
Project managers are managers who have responsibility for coordinating efforts involving
individuals in several different organizational units who are all working on a particular project.
Because the individuals report not only to the managers in their specific work units but also to
their project manager, project managers usually must have extremely strong interpersonal skills
to keep things moving smoothly. Project managers are frequently used in aerospace and other
high-technology firms to coordinate projects, such as airplane or computer project
development. They are also used in some consumer oriented companies to launch or stay ontop of market development for specific products. Such as cookies or margarine.

Planning
Planing is thinking in advance or before doing something .All kinds of organizations do
planing. Planing helps us in looking into the future.Planing establishes goals or objectives and
identifies the ways to achieve them. A plan is a predetermined course of action to be taken in
future. Planning has been defined as follows:
Counts and ODonnell
Planing is an intellectual process, the conscious determination of courses of action,
the basing of decisions on purpose, facts and considered estimates.
At another place they say
Planning is deciding in advance what to do,how to do it,
when to do it and who is to do it.
George SteinerPlaning is a process that beings with objectives; defines strategies, polices,
and detailed. Plans to achieve them.
Peter Drucker
Planing is the continuous process of making present entrepreneurial (risk taking) decisions
systematically and with best possible knowledge of their futurity.
Nature or characteristics of planning
There is a number feature or characteristics of planing that indicate towards its nature. These
may be outlined as follows;
1. Goal-oriented.
Planing is goal-orient in the sense that plans are prepared and implemented to achieve
certain object.

In order to develop consistent and coordinate plans ,it is necessary that planing is based
upon carefully considered assumption and predictions
Identifying the alternative course of action.
After established the goals or objective and taking other related steps , feasible
alternative programs or course of action are searched out . Impossible or highly difficult
propositions are left out .
Evaluating the alternatives.
Problems consequences of each alternative course of action in terms of its pros and cons(eg Cost, benefits, risks etc) are assessed and then relative importance of each of them is
found out by looking at their overall individual strengths and limitations especially in the
light of present objective and the environment of the company.
Selecting the alternative or Course of action.
The alternative which appears to be most feasible and conducive to the accomplishment of
companys objective, is selecting the final plan of action as strategy.
Preparing the Derivative plans
Derivative plans involve short rang operating plans that are useful in day-to-day operations
these plans are developed through the

SWOT Profile
The internal and external situation analysis can produce a large amount of information, much of
which may not be highly relevant. The SWOT analysis can serve as an interpretative filter to
reduce the information to a manageable quantity of key issues. The SWOT analysis classifies
the internal aspects of the company as strengths or weaknesses and the external situational
factors as opportunities or threats. Strengths can serve as a foundation for building a
competitive advantage, and weaknesses may hinder it. By understanding these four aspects of
its situation, a firm can better leverage its strengths, correct its
weaknesses, capitalize on golden opportunities, and deter potentially devastating threats.
Internal Analysis
The internal analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of the internal environment's potential
strengths and weaknesses. Factors should be evaluated across the organization in areas such as:
Company culture
Company image
Organizational structure
Key staff
Access to natural resources
Position on the experience curve
Operational efficiency
Operational capacity
Brand awareness
Market share
Financial resources
Exclusive contracts
Patents and trade secrets
The SWOT analysis summarizes the internal factors of the firm as a list of strengths and
weaknesses.
External Analysis
An opportunity is the chance to introduce a new product or service that can generate superior
returns. Opportunities can arise when changes occur in the external environment. Many of
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
23/56
these changes can be perceived as threats to the market position of existing products and may
necessitate a change in product
specifications or the development of new products in order for the firm to remain competitive.
Changes in the external environment may be related to:
Customers
Competitors
Market trends
Suppliers
Partners
Social changes
New technology
Economic environment
Political and regulatory environment
The last four items in the above list are macro-environmental variables, and are addressed in aPEST analysis. The SWOT analysis summarizes the external environmental factors as a list of
opportunities and threats.
SWOT Profile
When the analysis has been completed, a SWOT profile can be generated and used as the basis
of goal setting, strategy formulation, and implementation. The completed SWOT profile
sometimes is arranged as follows:
Strengths Weaknesses
1.
2.
3.
4 .

.
When formulating strategy, the interaction of the quadrants in the SWOT profile becomes
important. For example, the strengths can be leveraged to pursue opportunities and to avoid
threats, and managers can be alerted to weaknesses that might need to be overcome in order to
successfully pursue opportunities.
Multiple Perspectives Needed
The method used to acquire the inputs to the SWOT matrix will affect the quality of the
analysis. If the information is obtained hastily during a quick interview with the CEO, even
though this one person may have a broad view of the company and industry, the information
would represent a single viewpoint. The quality of the analysis will be improved greatly if
interviews are held with a spectrum of stakeholders such as employees, suppliers, customers,
strategic partners, etc.
SWOT Analysis Limitations
While useful for reducing a large quantity of situational factors into a more manageable profile,
the SWOT framework has a tendency to oversimplify the situation by classifying the firm's
environmental factors into categories in which they may not always fit. The classification of
some factors as strengths for weaknesses, or as opportunities or threats is somewhat arbitrary.
For example, a particular company culture can be either a strength or a weakness. A
technological change can be a either a threat or an opportunity. Perhaps what is more important
than the superficial classification of these factors is the firm's awareness of them and itsdevelopment of a strategic plan to use them to its advantage.

Kinds Of Strategies And Policies
Major kinds of strategies and policies need to developed in areas such as growth, finance,organization, personnel, public relations, products or services and marketing .
Competitive Strategies By Porter :
Professor porter identified three generic competitive strategies related to :
Overall cost leadership
Differentiation strategy .
Focused strategies .
Effectively Implement Strategies :
To implement strategies effectively, managers must communicate the strategies and planning
premises to all who should know them and must make sure that plans contribute to and reflect
the strategies and goals they serve . Managers must also review strategies requirely, develop
contingency strategies, and be sure that the organization structure of the enterprise fits its
panning programs managers need to make learning about planning and implementing strategy
an on going process .

] Management by Objectives (MBO )
Meaning and definition of management by objectives
Management by objectives (MBO) has become a widely used slogan. It is a basic mentality that
a high-performance manager brings to the job of managing. The term management by
objectives was coined by Peter Drucker in 1954. he propounded management by Objectives
concept and emphasized it and then it developed as a management philosophy,. Some authors
has used the term management by results interchangeable with management by objectives.
Management by objectives is an overall philosophy of management that concentrates on goals
and end results. Management by objectives is based on the presumption that people perform
better when they know what is expected of them and can relate their personal goals to
organizational goals. It also assumes that people perform better when they know what is
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
26/56
expected of them and can relate their personal goals to organizational goals. It also assumes
that people are interested in the goal
setting process and in evaluating their performance against the target.
Some important definitions of MBO may be given as follows :
George S. Odiorne.
The system of management by objectives can be described as a process whereby the superior
and subordinate managers of an organization jointly identify its common goals, define each
individual major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected of him, and use these
measures as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its members.
Peter Drucker.
He says that management by objectives and self-control is a philosophy of management.
Resting on a concept of human action. Human behavior, and human motivation. MBO applies
to every manager at any level and to all business enterprises whether large or small. He says the
management by objectives ensures performance by converting objective needs into personal
goals.
Heinz Weihrich & Harold Knoontz.
MBO is a comprehensive managerial system that integrates many key managerial activities in a
systematic manner and that is consciously directed toward the effective and efficient
achievement of organizational and individual objectives.
Essential Characteristics or Features of Management By Objectives
A careful study of the above definitions bring out the following features of MBO.
1. Management by Objectives is a philosophy or a system, and not merely technique.
2. It emphasizes participative goal setting.
3. It clearly defines each individual responsibilities in terms of results.
4. If focuses attention on what must be accomplished (goals0 rather than on how it is to be
accomplished.
5. It converts objective needs into personal goals at every level in the organization.

What is Leadership?
Many people believe that leadership is simply being the first, biggest or most powerful.
Leadership in organizations has a different and more meaningful definition. Very simply put, a
leader is interpreted as someone who sets direction in an effort and influences people to follow
that direction. How they set that direction and influence people depends on a variety of factors
that we'll consider later on below. To really comprehend the "territory" of leadership, you
should briefly scan some of the major theories, notice various styles of leadership and review
some of the suggested traits and characteristics that leaders should have. The rest of this library
should help you in this regard.
[+/-
] Style of leadership
The Autocrat
The autocratic leader dominates team-members, using unilateralism to achieve a singular
objective. This approach to leadership generally results in passive resistance from team-
members and requires continual pressure and direction from the leader in order to get things
done. Generally, an authoritarian approach is not a good way to get the best performance from
a team.
There are, however, some instances where an autocratic style of leadership may not be
inappropriate. Some situations may call for urgent action, and in these cases an autocratic style
of leadership may be best. In addition, most people are familiar with autocratic leadership and
therefore have less trouble adopting that style. Furthermore, in some situations, sub-ordinates
may actually prefer an autocratic style
The Laissez-Faire Manager
The Laissez-Faire manager exercises little control over his group, leaving them to sort out their
roles and tackle their work, without participating in this process himself. In general, this
approach leaves the team floundering with little direction or motivation.
Again, there are situations where the Laissez-Faire approach can be effective. The Laissez-
Faire technique is usually only appropriate when leading a team of highly motivated and skilledpeople, who have produced excellent work in the past. Once a leader has established that his

The theory that people will motivate by their expectancy that a particular action on their part
will lead to a desired outcome . It is stated:
Force = strength of a persons motivate
Valence = Strength of an individual performance for an outcome
Expectancy = Probability that a particular action will lead to a desired outcome

The official right to assign the people is responsibility.
Accountability.
Type s of functions:
Line:
Production
Selling

Line and Staff Authority:
There are various ways to conceptualize line and staff. Line and staff are characterized by
relationships and not by people or departments .Line authority is that relationship in which a
superior exercises direct supervisions over subordinates. The staff relationship consists ofgiving advise and council.
Functional Authority:
Right to control processes , policies or other matters in departments ,other than a persons own .
Functional authority is a small slice of a line managers authority and should be used sparingly.
Delegation of Authority

delegation, Especially when the stakes are very high, some managers view delegation as too
risky. In such case managers may not trust their employees to complete delegated tasks
competently, so they resort to micro management, an excessive degree of personal involvement
in and control over the decisions and action of their employee.
[+/-] Centralization and Decentralization
Although top managers distribute some authority for decision and actions through out the
vertical organization they also retain a certain amount of authority .
Centralization is the extent to which authority remains concentrated at top level management
level. The opposite of centralization is decentralization , delegation authority to lower
management level.
Centralization and decentralization are the two extremes of a continuum more authoritydelegation down ward reflects a higher degree of decentralization, when more authority
detained by top managers reflect a higher degree of centralization.

1- SOCIAL MANAGEMENT
In any organization the main objection is to minimize the profit in spite of other values. But the
real organization need to concern with social value and social needs of society by surrendering
the some share of profit. It is because of social needs or values of society e.g If in a society
some items are not allowed so that it should be avoid to produce rather than concept of
organization _________. If in a society some item are needed once in year firm should provide
so that it shall be closer to society and goes to long run profit.

The method in which a firm use the special education training and skills about the management
and go through it is called management as technology. Because almost all the internal problems
of organization may be solved through techniques of management so we can say the
management as technology technological awareness to minimize the waste statistical analysis
and computer science are essential.

NEED THEORY OF MOTIVATION / MASLOWS THEORY OF NEEDS
MOTIVATION: Motivation as the processes that account for an individuals intensity,
direction and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal. Finally motivation has a persistencedimension. This is a measure of how long a person can maintain his or her effort. Motivated
individuals stay with a task long enough to achieve their goal.
HIERARCHY OF NEEDS THEORY
Its probably safe to say that the most well known theory of motivation is Abraham Maslows
hierarchy of needs. He hypothesized that within every human being there exists a hierarchy of
five needs. These needs are:
1- Physiological: Includes hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs.
2- Safety: Includes security and protection from physical and emotional harm.
3- Social: Includes affection, belongingness, acceptance and friendship.
4-Esteem: Includes internal esteem factors such as self-respect, autonomy and achievement and
external esteem factors such as status recognition and attention.
5- Self-actualization: the drive to become what one is capable of becoming includes growth
achieving ones potential and self fulfillment.
As each of these needs becomes substantially satisfied the next need becomes dominant.
LOWER ORDER NEEDS:Needs that are satisfied externally physiological and safety needs.
HIGHER ORDER NEEDS: needs that are satisfied internally social esteem and self
actualization needs.

1. Establishing Standards
-
7/31/2019 Principles of Management or VBM
56/56
standards are yardsticks against which actual results are measured and efficiency is determined.
Standards are plans which tell us where we should be. Standards may be physical, financial,
qualitative or tangible. Standards are usually stated in specific terms but they may also be
intangible like the degree of morale goodwill market image and public opinion and attitude.
2. Measuring Performance
Standards are established to measure actual performance. By measuring actual performance
against standards we come to know where we are as against we were supposed to be if the
standards are objective measurement is objective.
3.Correction of Deviation
the negative difference between where we should have been and where we actually are is
controlled. Deviation is corrected controls should facilitate corrective actions.
The manager may e compelled to correct actions by redrawing his plans or by modifying his
goals. if controls are forward looking they may indicate weak areas in time stopping further
damage.
