Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, left Wall
Street to start Amazon from his basement.

THE ART OF MANAGEMENT DEFINED
•

•
•
•

Being an exceptional manager is an art that can
be learned.
Management is the art of getting things done
through people.
Managers are task-oriented, achievementoriented, and people-oriented.
Good managers are concerned with trying to
achieve both efficiency and effectiveness.

WHY ORGANIZATIONS VALUE MANAGERS:
THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT

Good managers
create value.

As a manager you have
a multiplier effect: Your
influence on the
organization is
multiplied far beyond the
results that can be
achieved by just one
person acting alone.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS OF STUDYING
MANAGEMENT?

The rewards of studying management include:
•

You will have an insider’s understanding of how to
deal with organizations from the outside.

•

You will know from experience how to relate to
your supervisors.

•

You will better interact with co-workers.

•

You will be able to manage yourself and your
career.

•

You might make more money during your career.

WHAT ARE THE REWARDS OF PRACTICING
MANAGEMENT?

The rewards of practicing management
include:
•

You and your employees can experience a
sense of accomplishment.

•

You can stretch your abilities and magnify your
range.

•

You can build a catalog of successful products
or services.

THE TRADITIONAL MANAGEMENT PYRAMID:
LEVELS AND AREAS

Figure 1.2

FOUR LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT
• Top managers make long-term decisions.
• Middle managers implement the policies and
plans of the top managers above them.
• First-line managers make short-term
operating decisions.
• Team leader is responsible for facilitating
team activities.
• Nonmanagerial employees either work
alone on tasks or with others on a variety of
teams.
© McGraw Hill

AREAS OF MANAGEMENT: FUNCTIONAL
MANAGERS VERSUS GENERAL MANAGERS

• Functional
managers are
responsible for just
one organizational
activity.

• General managers
are responsible for
several
organizational
activities.

MANAGERS FOR THREE TYPES OF
ORGANIZATIONS

For-profit organizations

Nonprofit organizations

Mutual-benefit organizations

DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS,
DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT?

Generally you would be performing the four
management functions of planning,
organizing, leading, and controlling,
regardless of the type of organization.

The measures of success is the single
biggest difference.

ROLES MANAGERS MUST PLAY
SUCCESSFULLY

The Manager’s
Roles: How Do
Managers Spend
Their Time?

Three Types of
Managerial Roles:
• Interpersonal
• Informational
• Decisional

THE MANAGER’S ROLES: HOW DO
MANAGERS SPEND THEIR TIME?

• Managers are always working, and they
are in constant demand.
• Managers spend virtually all of their work
time communicating with others.

• Managers must be purposeful and
proactive about managing their time.

THREE TYPES OF MANAGERIAL ROLES:
INTERPERSONAL, INFORMATIONAL, AND
DECISIONAL

Interpersonal roles:
•

Figurehead, Leader, and Liaison

Informational roles:
•

Monitor, Disseminator, and Spokesperson

Decisional roles:
•

Entrepreneur, Disturbance Handler, Resource
Allocator, and Negotiator

THE SKILLS EXCEPTIONAL
MANAGERS NEED

Technical Skills:
• The ability to perform a
specific job

Conceptual Skills:
• The ability to think
analytically

Human Skills:
• “Soft Skills,” the ability to
interact well with people
© McGraw Hill

And additional
valued traits in
managers.

TECHNICAL SKILLS

Having the requisite technical skills seems to
be most important at the lower levels of
management—that is, among employees in
their first professional job and first-line
managers.

CONCEPTUAL SKILLS

Conceptual skills are more important as you
move up the management ladder, particularly
for top managers, who must deal with
problems that are ambiguous but that could
have far-reaching consequences.

HUMAN SKILLS

The most difficult set of skills to master but
which are especially important with people in
teams, an important part of today’s
organizations.

THE MOST VALUABLE TRAITS IN MANAGERS

Among the chief skills companies seek in top
managers are the following:
•

The ability to motivate and engage others

•

The ability to communicate

•

Work experience outside the United States

•

High energy levels to meet the demands of
global travel and a 24/7 world

SEVEN CHALLENGES TO BEING AN
EXCEPTIONAL MANAGER
Challenge #1:
• Managing for Competitive Advantage—Staying Ahead of Rivals

Challenge #2:
• Managing for Technological Advances—Dealing with the “New Normal”

Challenge #3:
• Managing for Inclusion and Diversity—The Future Won’t Resemble the Past

Challenge #4:
• Managing for Globalization—The Expanding Management Universe

Challenge #5:
• Managing for Ethical Standards

Challenge #6:
• Managing for Sustainable Development—The Business of Green

Challenge #7:
• Managing for Happiness and Meaningfulness

CHALLENGE #1:
MANAGING FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE—
STAYING AHEAD OF RIVALS

Organizations must stay ahead in four areas
•

Being responsive to customers

•

Innovation

•

Quality

•

Efficiency

CHALLENGE #2:
MANAGING FOR TECHNOLOGICAL
ADVANCES–DEALING WITH THE NEW
NORMAL
•
•
•
•
•
•

Ecommerce
Far-ranging electronic management all of the time.
Data, data, and more data: a challenge to decision
making
The rise of artificial intelligence: more automation in
the workforce
Organizational changes: shifts in structure, jobs,
goals, and management
Knowledge management and collaborative
computing

CHALLENGE #3:
MANAGING FOR INCLUSION AND
DIVERSITY—THE FUTURE WON’T RESEMBLE
THE PAST
•

In the coming years there will be a different mix of
women, immigrants, and older people in the general
population, as well as in the workforce.

•

Some scholars think that diversity and variety in staffing
produce organizational strength.

•

Clearly, however, the challenge to the manager of the
near future is to maximize the contributions of employees
diverse in gender, age, race, ethnicity, and sexual
orientation.

CHALLENGE #4:
MANAGING FOR GLOBALIZATION—THE
EXPANDING MANAGEMENT UNIVERSE
•

Verbal expressions and gestures don’t mean the same
thing to everyone around the world.

•

Failure to understand cultural differences can affect
organizations’ ability to manage globally.

•

Globalization is the increasingly interconnected nature of
business around the world.

•

Managing for globalization will be a complex, ongoing
challenge.

CHALLENGE #5:
MANAGING FOR ETHICAL STANDARDS

•

Recent incidents point to serious repercussions
when people fail to realize that ethical standards
must be followed in every area of life.

•

Ethical lapses have the potential to do great
harm, and not only financial harm.

CHALLENGE #6:
MANAGING FOR SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT—THE BUSINESS OF GREEN
•

Our economic system has brought prosperity but in doing
so has often assumed an unlimited supply of natural
resources.

•

We now believe some of the actions and decisions of the
past have caused irreversible damage to the
environment.

•

The United Nations addressed these issues by adopting
a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

•

Clearly sustainable development is a critical issue facing
businesses today.

CHALLENGE #7:
MANAGING FOR HAPPINESS AND
MEANINGFULNESS
•

Research shows that a sense of meaningfulness
in your life is associated with better health, work
and life satisfaction, and performance.
Build meaning into your life by:

•
•

Identifying activities you love doing

•

Finding a way to build your natural strengths into your
personal and work life

•

Going out and helping someone

management style you prefer.
Drucker introduced several ideas that
now underlie the organization and
practice of management.
•

Workers should be treated as assets.

•

The corporation could be considered a
human community.

•

There is “no business without a customer.”

•

Institutionalized management practices
are preferable to charismatic cult leaders.

CLASSICAL VIEWPOINT: SCIENTIFIC AND
ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT
• Scientific Management:
Pioneered by Taylor and the
Gilbreths
• Administrative Management:
Pioneered by Spaulding,
Fayol, and Weber
• The Problem with the
Classical Viewpoint: Too
Mechanistic

Bettmann/Getty Images

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT: PIONEERED BY
TAYLOR AND THE GILBRETHS
Frederick Taylor and the Four Principles of Scientific
Management:

•

Evaluate a task by scientifically studying each part of it.

•

Carefully select workers with the right abilities for the task.

•

Give workers the training and incentives to do the task with
the proper work methods.

•

Use scientific principles to plan the work methods and ease
the way for workers to do their jobs.

SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT:
PIONEERED BY TAYLOR AND THE
GILBRETHS
•
•

•

Frank and Lillian Gilbreth and
Industrial Engineering.
Identified 17 basic motions and
applied them to work processes
to determine whether the tasks
could be done more efficiently.
Demonstrated they could
eliminate motions while reducing
fatigue for some workers.
The Gilbreths are important
because they reinforced the link
between studying the physical
movements in a job and workers’
efficiency.
Bettmann/Getty Images

ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT: PIONEERED
BY SPAULDING, FAYOL, AND WEBER 1

Charles Clinton Spaulding:
the “Father of African-American Management”
Suggested considerations
such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•

The need for authority
Division of labor
Adequate capital
Proper budgeting
Cooperation
Teamwork

Highlighted the need to
enrich “the lives of his
organizational and
community family” while
simultaneously focusing
on making a profit.

ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT: PIONEERED
BY SPAULDING, FAYOL, AND WEBER 2
• Fayol was not the first to investigate
management behavior, but he was the first to
systematize it.
• His most important work, General and
Industrial Management, was translated into
English in 1930.
• Fayol was the first to identify the major
functions of management—planning,
organizing, leading, and controlling.
© McGraw Hill

ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT: PIONEERED
BY SPAULDING, FAYOL, AND WEBER 3
Weber believed bureaucracy was a rational, efficient,
ideal organization based on principles of logic.
A better-performing organization, he felt, should have
five positive bureaucratic features:
1. A well-defined hierarchy of authority

2. Formal rules and procedures
3. A clear division of labor, with parts of a complex job being
handled by specialists
4. Impersonality, without reference or connection to a particular
person
5. Careers based on merit

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CLASSICAL
VIEWPOINT: TOO MECHANISTIC
•

A flaw in the classical viewpoint is that it tends to view
humans as cogs within a machine, not taking into
account the importance of human needs.

•

The essence of the classical viewpoint was that work
activity was amenable to a rational approach.

•

The classical viewpoint also led to such innovations
as management by objectives and goal setting.

BEHAVIORAL VIEWPOINT: BEHAVIORISM,
HUMAN RELATIONS, AND BEHAVIORAL
SCIENCE 1
Behavioral viewpoint: Emphasized the importance
of understanding human behavior and motivating
employees toward achievement
Developed over three phases:
1. Early behaviorism
2. The human relations
movement
3. Behavioral science

BEHAVIORAL VIEWPOINT: BEHAVIORISM,
HUMAN RELATIONS, AND BEHAVIORAL
SCIENCE 2

• Early Behaviorism:
Pioneered by
Munsterberg, Follett, and
Mayo
• The Human Relations
Movement: Pioneered by
Maslow and McGregor
• The Behavioral Science
Approach
© McGraw Hill

AP Images

EARLY BEHAVIORISM: PIONEERED BY
MUNSTERBERG, FOLLETT, AND MAYO 1
Hugo Munsterberg is called the father of industrial
psychology.
He suggested that psychologists could contribute to
industry in three ways:
1. Study jobs and determine which people are best suited to
specific jobs.
2. Identify the psychological conditions under which employees
do their best work.
3. Devise management strategies to influence employees to
follow management’s interests.

EARLY BEHAVIORISM: PIONEERED BY
MUNSTERBERG, FOLLETT, AND MAYO 2
• Mary Parker Follett was lauded as a female
pioneer in the fields of civics and sociology.
• Follett thought organizations should become
more democratic, with managers and
employees working cooperatively.
• Three key ideas in making organizations
more democratic

EARLY BEHAVIORISM: PIONEERED BY
MUNSTERBERG, FOLLETT, AND MAYO 3
Mayo led a Harvard research group to conduct worker
productivity studies at Western Electric’s Hawthorne
(Chicago) plant in the late 1920s.

Hawthorne Effect:
•

Employees worked harder if they received added attention, if they
thought that managers cared about their welfare, or that
supervisors paid special attention to them.

THE HUMAN RELATIONS MOVEMENT:
PIONEERED BY MASLOW

• Abraham Maslow and the Hierarchy of Needs
• Maslow observed that his patients had certain
innate needs that had to be satisfied before
they could reach their fullest potential.

THE HUMAN RELATIONS MOVEMENT:
PIONEERED BY MCGREGOR

•

Douglas McGregor came to realize that it was not
enough for managers to try to be liked; they also
needed to be aware of their attitudes toward
employees.

•

These attitudes could be thought of as either “X” or
“Y.”

THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE APPROACH
• Behavioral science relies on scientific research for
developing theories about human behavior that
can be used to provide practical tools for
managers.
• The disciplines of behavioral science include
psychology, sociology, anthropology, and
economics.

QUANTITATIVE VIEWPOINTS:
OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT AND EVIDENCE-BASED
MANAGEMENT
• Operations Management: Being
More Effective
• Evidence-Based Management:
Facing Hard Facts, Rejecting
Nonsense

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT: BEING
MORE EFFECTIVE
Operations management consists of all the job
functions and activities in which managers:
• Schedule and delegate work and job training,
• Plan production to meet customer needs,
• Design services customers want and how to deliver
them,
• Locate and design company facilities, and
• Choose optimal levels of product inventory to keep costs
down and reduce backorders.

EVIDENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT: FACING
HARD FACTS, REJECTING NONSENSE
Evidence-based management is based on the belief
that:
• Facing the hard facts about what works and what
doesn’t,
• Understanding the dangerous half-truths that constitute
so much conventional wisdom about management, and
• Rejecting the total nonsense that too often passes for
sound advice will help organizations perform better.

THE SYSTEMS VIEWPOINT 1
• The Systems Viewpoint

• The Four Parts of a System

THE SYSTEMS VIEWPOINT 2
• Managers must understand how the different
parts of an organization come together to achieve
its goals in order to diagnose problems and
develop effective solutions.
• Even though a system may not work very well, it
is nevertheless still a system.

THE FOUR PARTS OF A SYSTEM
• Systems may be open or
closed.
The four parts of a
system are:
1. Inputs
2. Transformational
processes
3. Outputs
4. Feedback

• Synergy in a system
creates an effect that is
greater than the sum of
individual efforts.
• Systems viewpoint led to
the development of
Complexity Theory.

FIGURE 2.2 THE FOUR PARTS OF A SYSTEM

CONTINGENCY VIEWPOINT
• The contingency viewpoint began to develop
when managers discovered that under some
circumstances better results could be achieved by
breaking the one-best-way rule.
• The beauty, and simplicity, of contingency theory
lies in the proposition that there is not one best
way to manage.

CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES
• The Learning Organization: Sharing Knowledge
and Modifying Behavior
• High-Performance Work Practices

• Shared Value and Sustainable Development:
Going beyond Profits
• Responsible Management Education: The United
Nations Takes the Lead

THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION: SHARING
KNOWLEDGE AND MODIFYING BEHAVIOR
• Keep on learning.
• Individuals who
embrace learning make
the organization
smarter and contribute
to its growth.
• A key challenge for
managers, therefore, is
to establish a culture of
shared knowledge and
values that will enhance
their employees’ ability
to learn.

Three parts of a learning
organization:
1. Creating and acquiring
knowledge

2. Transferring knowledge
3. Modifying behavior

HIGH-PERFORMANCE WORK PRACTICES
The job of management, according to this viewpoint,
is to create human resource (HR) practices that
foster employee development and overall wellbeing.
High-performance work practices include:
• Ability-enhancing practices
• Motivation-enhancing practices
• Opportunity-enhancing practices

SHARED VALUE AND SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT: GOING BEYOND PROFITS
• Shared value and sustainable development look
beyond short-term profits and focuses on the
environmental and social costs of doing business.
• Sustainable development focuses on meeting the
needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own
needs.
• Shared value and sustainable development is
where business and sustainability intersect.

RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION:
THE UNITED NATIONS TAKES THE LEAD
• The growing importance of shared value and
sustainable development has led the United
Nations (UN) to tackle the issue.
• In 2007, the organization launched Principles for
Responsible Management Education (PRME).
• The mission of PRME is to “transform business
and management education, research and
thought leadership globally, while promoting
awareness about the Sustainable Development
Goals [SDGs], and developing the responsible
business leaders of tomorrow.”

CAREER CORNER: MANAGING YOUR
CAREER READINESS 1
• Recruiters expect you to do some research, just
as you would for a class assignment.

• That’s good for both you and a potential employer
because it helps identify the likely level of fit
between the two of you.
• Good fit, in turn, is associated with more positive
work attitudes and task performance, lower
intentions to quit, and less job-related stress.

FIGURE 2.3 MODEL OF CAREER READINESS

CAREER CORNER: MANAGING YOUR
CAREER READINESS 3
To demonstrate that you understand a business,
you should learn the following 7 things about a
company before showing up for an interview:
1. The company’s missions and vision statements
2. The company’s core values and culture
3. The history of the company
4. Key organizational players
5. The company’s products, service, and clients
6. Current events and accomplishments
7. Comments from current or previous employers

the Act of Courage

THE GOALS OF BUSINESS: MORE THAN
MAKING MONEY

The Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet, and
Profit

Younger Workers’ Search for Meaning

THE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE: PEOPLE, PLANET,
AND PROFIT

•

In this view of corporate performance, an
organization has a responsibility to its
people, planet, and profit.
Success in these areas can be measured
through a social audit.

YOUNGER WORKERS’ SEARCH FOR
MEANING

•
•
•

Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996)
and Gen Zers (born after 1997) care about
the triple bottom line.
Younger workers expect more from the
organizations they work for and do
business with.
These generations want things like
meaningful work and products that
represent their personal values more than
older generations ever did.

THE COMMUNITY OF STAKEHOLDERS
INSIDE THE ORGANIZATION

Internal and External Stakeholders
Internal Stakeholders

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS

•

Managers operate in two organizational
environments, both made up of various
stakeholders.

INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS
Large or small, your organization has people
in it who have both an important stake in how
it performs and the power to shape its future.
•

Employees

•

The Task Environment
The General Environment

THE TASK ENVIRONMENT

Task
environment
consists of 10
groups that
interact with
the
organization
on a regular
basis.

• Customers
• Competitors
• Suppliers
• Distributors
• Strategic Allies
• Employee Organizations
• Local Communities
• Financial Institutions
• Government Regulators
• Special-Interest Groups

THE GENERAL ENVIRONMENT
•

•
•

The general environment includes six forces:
economic, technological, sociocultural,
demographic, political–legal, and
international.
You may be able to control some forces in
the task environment, but you can’t control
those in the general environment.
As a manager you need to keep your eye on
the far horizon because these forces of the
general environment can affect long-term
plans and decisions.

Respecting Impartial Standards of Fairness

WHITE-COLLAR CRIME, SARBOX,
AND ETHICAL TRAINING
•

Executives’ deceits generated a
great deal of public outrage, and
as a result Congress passed the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

•

Sarbanes–Oxley Act established
requirements for proper financial
record keeping for public
companies.

•

It also requires companies to
have established procedures and
guidelines for audit committees.

HOW ORGANIZATIONS CAN PROMOTE
ETHICS
Ethics needs to be an everyday affair, not a one-time
thing.
There are several ways an organization may promote high
ethical standards:
•

Creating a strong ethical climate

•

Screening prospective employees

•

Instituting ethics codes and training programs

•

Rewarding ethical behavior: protecting whistle-blowers

•

Using a multi-faceted approach

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
THE TOP OF THE PYRAMID
Corporate social responsibility rests at the top of a
pyramid of a corporation’s obligations, right up there
with economic, legal, and ethical obligations.
The responsibilities of an organization in the global
economy should take the following priorities:
•

Be a good global corporate citizen.

•

Be ethical in its practices.

•

Obey the law.

•

Make a profit.

IS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WORTHWHILE?
OPPOSING AND SUPPORTING VIEWPOINTS
Against Social Responsibility:
•

Unless a company focuses on maximizing profits, it will become
distracted and fail to provide goods and services, benefit the
stockholders, create jobs, and expand economic growth.

•

This supports the efforts of companies to set up headquarters in
name only in offshore tax havens in order to minimize their tax
burden.

For Social Responsibility:
•

A company must be concerned for society’s welfare as well as for
corporate profits.

•

Beyond ethical obligation, the rationale for social responsibility is
the belief that it is good for business, morally appropriate, or
important to employees.

ONE TYPE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
CLIMATE CHANGE, SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT, AND NATURAL CAPITAL
•

Nearly everyone is aware of the growing threat of climate change and global
warming.

•

Scientists say global warming is a “clear and unequivocal emergency”
and that without significant changes, the world will face “untold human
suffering.

•

Sustainable development, is economic development that meets the needs
of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs.

ANOTHER TYPE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
UNDERTAKING PHILANTHROPY,
“NOT DYING RICH”

•
•

•

“He who dies rich dies thus disgraced”
(Andrew Carnegie)
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
has pledged to spend billions on health,
education, and overcoming poverty.
The Gateses have been joined by 169
other billionaires from 22 countries.

DOES BEING GOOD PAY OFF?
•

Indeed it pays to be ethical and socially
responsible.

•

An organization’s commitment to CSR
may be an important factor for you to
consider during job searches.

•

Supportive findings are shown in Table
3.1.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance and Ethics
•

Good corporate governance can contribute to more
ethical and socially responsible organizations.
•

CEO accountability, board composition, and CSR
contracting are important governance factors for
organizations and their boards to consider.

Corporate Governance and Social
Responsibility
•

Corporate governance is about such matters as long-term
strategies, sustainable finances, accurate reporting, and
positive work environment.

GOALS AND PLANS

Long-Term and Short-Term Goals
The Operating Plan and Action Plan
Plans Are Great, but . . .

LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM GOALS

• A goal, also known as an objective, is a
specific commitment to achieve a
measurable result within a stated period of
time.
• Long-term goals are generally referred to
as strategic goals.
• Short-term goals are sometimes referred to
as tactical or operational goals, or just plain
goals.
© McGraw Hill, LLC

THE OPERATING AND ACTION PLANS

Operating Plan:
• A plan that breaks long-term output into shortterm targets or goals
• Turns strategic plans into actionable short-term
goals and action plans
Action Plan:
• Defines the course of action (the tactics) needed
to achieve a stated goal
• Contains a project date for completing the
desired activities for each tactic
© McGraw Hill, LLC

PLANS ARE GREAT, BUT…
•

Unless plans are effectively executed, they won’t
be worth more than the paper they are written
on.

•

A well-executed plan can spur growth and create
a competitive advantage.

STRATEGIC POSITIONING AND ITS PRINCIPLES
Strategic positioning attempts to achieve sustainable
competitive advantage by preserving what is distinctive
about a company.
Strategy is the creation of a unique and valuable position.
• Few needs, many customers
• Broad needs, few customers
• Broad needs, many customers

Strategy requires trade-offs in competing.
Strategy involves creating a “fit” among activities.

LEVELS OF STRATEGY

• Corporate-Level Strategy

• Business-Level Strategy
• Functional-Level Strategy

DOES STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT WORK FOR SMALL
AS WELL AS LARGE FIRMS?

• Evidence reveals that the use of strategic
management techniques and processes is

performance.
• Surprisingly, however, many small business

ESTABLISHING CORPORATE-LEVEL STRATEGY

Three Overall Types of Corporate Strategy

The BCG Matrix

Diversification Strategy

Three Overall Types of Corporate Strategy
Growth strategy:
• Involves expansion, as in sales revenues, market share,
number of employees, or number of customers.

Stability:
• Involves little or no significant change.

Defensive:
• Involves reduction in the organization’s efforts.
• Retrenchment

THE BCG MATRIX
FIGURE 6.6. The BCG
matrix. Matrix growth is
divided into two
categories, low and high.
Market share also is
divided into low and high.
Thus, in this matrix, “stars”
are business unites that
are highly desirable (high
growth, high market
share), compared to
“dogs,” which are not so
desirable (low growth, low
market share).

© McGraw Hill

THE DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY
• Companies generally diversify to either grow
revenue or reduce risk.

• They grow revenue because the company now
has new products and services to sell.

ESTABLISHING BUSINESS-LEVEL STRATEGY
• Porter’s Five Competitive Forces
• Porter’s Four Competitive Strategies
• An Executive’s Approach toward Strategy
Development

PORTER’S FIVE COMPETITIVE FORCES
Porter contends that business-level strategies
originate in five primary competitive forces in the
firm’s environment:
1. Threat of new entrants
2. Bargaining power of suppliers

3. Bargaining power of buyers
4. Threats of substitute products or services
5. Rivalry among competitors

PORTER’S FOUR COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES
• Cost-Leadership Strategy: Keeping costs and
prices low for a wide market

• Differentiation Strategy: Offering unique and
superior value for a wide market
• Cost-Focus Strategy: Keeping costs and prices
low for a narrow market
• Focused-Differentiation Strategy: Offering unique
and superior value for a narrow market

AN EXECUTIVE’S APPROACH TOWARD STRATEGY
DEVELOPMENT

• What does the playing field look like now?
• What has the competition been up to?
• What have you been up to?
• What’s around the corner?

• What’s your winning move?

STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION: CREATING,
EXECUTING, AND CONTROLLING FUNCTIONALLEVEL STRATEGIES

• Higher-level corporate- and business-level
strategies flow down to the functional strategy.

• This is similar to goal cascading, which ensures
that higher-level goals are communicated and
aligned with the goals at the next levels down in
the organizational hierarchy.
• Typical functional areas include marketing,
finance, human resources, operations,
information technology, and distribution.

EXECUTION: GETTING THINGS DONE

THE THREE CORE PROCESSES OF BUSINESS:
PEOPLE, STRATEGY, AND OPERATIONS

A company’s overall ability to execute is a function
of effectively executing according to three
processes: people, strategy, and operations.
1. The First Core Process—People: “You need to
consider who will benefit you in the future.”
2. The Second Core Process—Strategy: “You need to
consider how success will be accomplished.”
3. The Third Core Process—Operations: “You need to
consider what path will be followed.”

EXECUTION ROADBLOCKS
Execution doesn’t always go smoothly and
managers may face obstacles to strategic
implementation for many different reasons.
•

Overcoming roadblocks in the C-suite

•

Overcoming roadblocks down the hierarchy

MAINTAINING STRATEGIC CONTROL

•

Engage people.
Keep it simple.
Stay focused.

TRADITIONAL CSR 1

Does Traditional CSR Run Counter to
Shareholders’ Interests?
• How does CSR align with Friedman’s
perspective?
• CSR as a “necessary expense”
• The myth of the “fixed pie” of value

TRADITIONAL CSR 2

Moving Beyond the “Fixed Pie” Perspective.
• Firms do not need to “give up” a portion of
shareholder wealth in order to be socially
responsible.
• Maximizing shareholder wealth and increasing
social benefit are not mutually exclusive.
• This is the essence of Creating Shared Value
(CSV)….

CREATING SHARED VALUE (CSV) 1

Implementing policies and operating practices
that enhance the competitiveness of a
company while simultaneously advancing the
economic and social conditions in the
communities in which it operates

CREATING SHARED VALUE (CSV) 2

CSV Generates Sustainable Competitive
Advantages.
• CSV moves CSR from a way organizations use
profits to a way organizations make profits.

• Organizations should pursue only those CSV
opportunities that are aligned with firm strategy.

MANAGE U – HOW TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS
• Keep Your Mind Open
• Prioritize Your Decisions
• Move On from Your Mistakes
• Practice Mindfulness

TWO KINDS of DECISION MAKING:
RATIONAL AND NONRATIONAL

Rational Decision Making: Managers Should Make
Logical and Optimal Decisions
• Stage 1: Identify the Problem or Opportunity—Determining the
Actual versus the Desirable
• Stage 2: Think Up Alternative Solutions—Both the Obvious and
the Creative
• Stage 3: Evaluate Alternatives and Select a Solution—Ethics,
Feasibility, and Effectiveness
• Stage 4: Implement and Evaluate the Solution Chosen

What’s Wrong with the Rational Model?
Nonrational Decision Making: Managers Find It
Difficult to Make Optimal Decisions
© McGraw Hill

RATIONAL DECISION MAKING: MANAGERS SHOULD
MAKE LOGICAL AND OPTIMAL DECISIONS

Figure 7.1 The Four Stages in Rational Decision
Making
© McGraw Hill

STAGE 1: IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM OR
OPPORTUNITY—DETERMINING THE ACTUAL
VERSUS THE DESIRABLE

•

As a manager, you’ll probably find no shortage
of problems.

•

You also will often find opportunities.

•

Whether you’re confronted with a problem or an
opportunity, the decision you’re called on to
make is how to make improvements.

STAGE 2: THINK UP ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS—
BOTH THE OBVIOUS AND THE CREATIVE

•

Employees burning with bright ideas are an
employer’s greatest competitive resource.

•

After you’ve identified the problem or
opportunity and diagnosed its causes, you need
to come up with alternative solutions.

STAGE 3: EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES AND SELECT A
SOLUTION—ETHICS, FEASIBILITY, AND
EFFECTIVENESS

•

In this stage, you need to evaluate each
alternative not only according to cost and
quality.
Today, the task of evaluating alternatives is
facilitated by the use of big data and artificial
intelligence.
Recent research confirms that firms can make
better decisions if they utilize these tools in the
decision-making process.

STAGE 4: IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE THE
SOLUTION CHOSEN
•

With some decisions, implementation is usually
straightforward.

•

With other decisions, implementation can be
quite difficult; when one company acquires
another, for instance, it may take months.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE RATIONAL MODEL?

TABLE 7.1 Assumptions of the Rational Model
Complete information, no uncertainty: You should obtain complete , errorfree information about all alternative courses of action and the consequences
that would follow from each choice.
Logical, unemotional analysis: Having no prejudices or emotional blind
spots, you are able to logically evaluate the alternatives, raking them from
best to worst according to your personal preferences.
Best decision for the organization: Confident of the best future course of
action, you coolly choose the alternative that you believe will most benefit the
organization.

NONRATIONAL DECISION MAKING: MANAGERS FIND
IT DIFFICULT to MAKE OPTIMAL DECISIONS 1
Bounded Rationality, Hubris, and the Satisficing Model: “Satisfactory Is Good Enough”
Hindrance

Description

Complexity

The problems that need solving are often exceedingly complex, beyond
understanding.

Time and money
constraints

There is not enough money to gather all relevant information.

Different cognitive
capacity, values, skills,
habits, and unconscious
reflexes

Managers aren’t all built the same way, of course, and all have personal
limitations and biases that affect their judgment.

Imperfect information

Managers have imperfect, fragmentary information about the alternatives
and their consequences.

Information overload

There is too much information for one person to process.

Different priorities

Some data are considered more important, so certain facts are ignored.

Conflicting goals

Other managers, including colleagues, have conflicting goals.

The Intuition Model: “It Just Feels Right”
Small entrepreneurs often can’t afford in-depth
marketing research and so they make decisions
based on hunches.
Intuition that stems from expertise—a person’s
explicit and tacit knowledge about a person, a
situation, an object, or a decision opportunity—
is known as a holistic hunch.
Intuition based on feelings—the involuntary
emotional response to those same matters—is
known as automated experience.

ROAD MAP TO ETHICAL DECISION MAKING: A
DECISION TREE

When confronted with any proposed action for
which a decision is required, a manager works
through the decision tree by asking the following
questions:
• Is the proposed action legal?

• If “yes,” does the proposed action maximize
shareholder value?
• If “yes,” is the proposed action ethical?
• If “no,” would it be ethical not to take the proposed
action?

EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION MAKING AND DATA
ANALYTICS

Evidence-Based Decision Making

In Praise of Data Analytics
Big Data: What It Is, How It’s Used

EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION MAKING
Seven Implementation Principles:
1.

Treat your organization as an unfinished prototype.

No brag, just facts.

See yourself and your organization as outsiders do.

Evidence-based management is not just for senior
executives.

Like everything else, you still need to sell it.

If all else fails, slow the spread of bad practice.

The best diagnostic question: What happens when people fail?

IN PRAISE OF DATA ANALYTICS
•

•

Data analytics is increasingly done with
specialized systems and software.
Some leaders and firms have become
exceptional practitioners of data analytics.

BIG DATA: WHAT IT IS, HOW IT’S USED
•

Big data is stores of data so vast that
conventional database management systems
cannot handle them.
Meeting customer needs
Improving human resource management
practices
Enhancing production efficiency
Advancing health and medicine
Aiding public policy
Using big data up and down the hierarchy

FOUR GENERAL DECISION-MAKING STYLES
Value orientation and tolerance for ambiguity
1. The Directive Style: Action-Oriented Decision Makers Who
Focus on Facts
2. The Analytical Style: Careful Decision Makers Who Like Lots of
Information and Alternative Choices
3. The Conceptual Style: Decision Makers Who Rely on Intuition
and Have a Long-Term Perspective
4. The Behavioral Style: The Most People-Oriented Decision
Makers

VALUE ORIENTATION AND TOLERANCE FOR
AMBIGUITY

Value orientation: Some people are very taskfocused at work and do not pay much attention to
people issues, whereas others are just the opposite.
•

Ambiguity: the need for structure or control of
one’s life.
•

A high need for control or structure means a low
tolerance for ambiguity.

•

A low need for control or structure means a high
tolerance for ambiguity.

FIGURE 7.6 DECISION-MAKING STYLES

THE DIRECTIVE STYLE: ACTION-ORIENTED
DECISION MAKERS WHO FOCUS ON FACTS

•

People with a directive style have a low
tolerance for ambiguity and are oriented toward
task and technical concerns in making
decisions.
They are efficient, logical, practical, and
systematic in their approach to solving
problems, and they are action oriented and
decisive and like to focus on facts.

THE ANALYTICAL STYLE: CAREFUL DECISION
MAKERS WHO LIKE LOTS OF INFORMATION AND
ALTERNATIVE CHOICES

•

Managers with an analytical style have a much
higher tolerance for ambiguity and respond well
to new or uncertain situations.
Analytical managers like to consider more
information and alternatives than those adopting
the directive style.
They are careful decision makers who take
longer to make decisions, but they also tend to
overanalyze a situation.

THE CONCEPTUAL STYLE: DECISION MAKERS WHO
RELY ON INTUITION AND HAVE A LONG-TERM
PERSPECTIVE
• People with a conceptual style have a high tolerance for
ambiguity and tend to focus on the people or social
aspects of a work situation.
• They take a broad perspective to problem solving and like
to consider many options and future possibilities.
• Conceptual types adopt a long-term perspective and rely
on intuition and discussions with others to acquire
information.

• They also are willing to take risks and are good at finding
creative solutions to problems.

THE BEHAVIORAL STYLE: THE MOST PEOPLEORIENTED DECISION MAKERS
• The behavioral style is the most people-oriented of the four
styles. People with this style work well with others and enjoy
social interactions in which opinions are openly exchanged.
• Behavioral types are supportive, are receptive to suggestions,
show warmth, and prefer verbal to written information.
• Although they like to hold meetings, some people with this style
have a tendency to avoid conflict and to be overly concerned
about others.
• This can lead them to adopt a wishy-washy approach to
decision making and to have a hard time saying no.

DECISION-MAKING BIASES 1
Ten Common Decision-Making Biases: Rules of
Thumb, or “Heuristics”

The Availability Bias: Using only the information available

The Representativeness Bias: Faulty generalizing from a
small sample or a single event

The Confirmation Bias: Seeking information to support your
point of view

The Sunk-Cost Bias: Money already spent seems to justify
continuing

The Anchoring and Adjustment Bias: Being influenced by an
initial figure

DECISION-MAKING BIASES 2

The Overconfidence Bias: Blind to Our Own Blindness

The Hindsight Bias: The I-Knew-It-All-Along Effect

The Framing Bias: Shaping the Way a Problem Is
Presented

The Escalation of Commitment Bias: Feeling Overly
Invested in a Decision

10. The Categorical Thinking Bias: Sorting Information into
Buckets

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF GROUP
DECISION MAKING

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

• Greater pool of
knowledge

• A few people dominate or
intimidate

• Different perspectives

• Groupthink

• Intellectual stimulation

• Satisficing

• Better understanding of
decision rationale

• Goal displacement

• Deeper commitment to
the decision

GROUPTHINK
•
•

•

Cohesiveness isn’t always good.
When it results in groupthink, group or team
members are friendly and tight-knit but unable to
think “outside the box.”
The results of groupthink can include failure to
consider new information and a loss of new
ideas.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUP DECISION MAKING

• They are less efficient.
• Their size affects decision
quality.
• They may be too
confident.
• Knowledge counts.

GROUP PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES:
REACHING FOR CONSENSUS

Do’s for achieving
consensus:
• Use active listening
skills.
• Involve as many
members as possible.
• Seek out the reasons
behind arguments and
dig for the facts.

Don’ts for achieving
consensus:
• Avoid horse trading
and making an
agreement simply to
not rock the boat.
• Don’t try to achieve
consensus by putting
questions to a vote.

STAGES OF GROUP AND TEAM DEVELOPMENT
Tuckman’s Five-Stage Model

Punctuated Equilibrium

TUCKMAN’S FIVE-STAGE MODEL

• Stage 1: Forming—“Why are we here?”
• Stage 2: Storming—“Why are we fighting over
who’s in charge and who does what?”
• Stage 3: Norming—“Can we agree on roles and
work as a team?”
• Stage 4: Performing—“Can we do the job
properly?”
• Stage 5: Adjourning—“Can we help members
transition out?”
• Is Tuckman’s model accurate?

FIGURE 13.1 FIVE STAGES OF GROUP AND TEAM
DEVELOPMENT

PUNCTUATED EQUILIBRIUM

• Groups don’t always follow the distinct stages of
Tuckman’s model.
• Punctuated equilibrium establishes periods of
stable functioning until an event causes a
dramatic change in norms, roles, and/or
objectives.
• Punctuated equilibrium often occurs in the wake
of unexpected change.

1. Personality Conflicts: clashes because of
personal dislikes or disagreements
2. Envy-based Conflicts: clashes because of what
others have
3. Intergroup Conflicts: clashes among work
groups, teams, and departments
4. Cross-Cultural Conflicts: clashes between
cultures

PREPARING TO ASSESS P–O FIT BEFORE A
JOB INTERVIEW
• Make a list of your personal values, strengths,
and weaknesses.
• Spend some time learning about the organization
you plan to interview with.
• Compare your list of personal values, strengths,
and weaknesses with those of the organization.

THE PROCESS OF CULTURE CHANGE
1. Formal statements

Physical design

2. Slogans and sayings

Rewards, titles,
promotions, and
bonuses

Organizational goals
and performance criteria

3. Rites and rituals
4. Stories, legends, and
myths
5. Leader reactions to
crises
6. Role modeling, training,
and coaching

10. Measurable and
controllable activities
11. Organizational structure

12. Organizational systems
and procedures

DON’T FORGET ABOUT PERSON–ORGANIZATION FIT

• Recall that P–O fit reflects the extent to which
your personality and values match the climate
and culture in an organization.
• P–O fit is important because it can affect your
work attitudes and performance.

• While it is possible to change an organization’s
culture and thus create a better fit, many
employees experiencing poor P–O fit end up
searching for new jobs.
