8. WHAT IS NEO-CLASSICAL APPROACH ? As the name denotes, it came after classical approach. It was introduced by scholars like Elton Mayo, Roethlisberger etc. It focussed on human relations and gave more importance to human behaviour than to machines or rules.

9. Who gave Human relations approach ? Elton Mayo and Roethlisberger carried out Hawthorne experiments (from 1924 to 1932) they carried out 4 experiements and concluded with human relations theory = which said that relations between people are more powerful than the poor links of the orgaistion. The theory gave importance to informal organisation, better relations with people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elton_Mayo

10. What were Hawthorne Experiments? These experiments were carried out from 1924 to 1932 there were 4 main experiments : 1. illumination experiment 2. relay assembly test room experiment 3. massive interview programmes 4. bank wiring room study

11. Who gave decision making approach to management ? Herbert A. Simon was the main thinkers. He gave many models about decision making. The important models are : 1. Satisficing decision – not optimising 2. Administrative Decision theory

12. What are the latest theories in management ? 1. Systems approach 2. contingency approach

13. What is systems approach to management ? Systems approach considers organisation as a system. Being a system, it has following components : 1. inputs 2. processing 3. output 4. thermostats 5. negative entropy

14. How many types of systems are possible ? Two types of systems are there : 1. open system 2. closed systems

15. WHICH IS BETTER ? Open system is better than closed system In order to create open system, you have to do the following : 1. create feedback mechanism 2. change the organisation as per feedack 3. establish internal reporting mechanisms

16. What is contingency approach ? Contingency = it depends each situation calls for different solution. Solution to business problems depends on the situation. Therefore analyse each situation and prepare solutions as per the situations. Here we have to study environment, look into factors contributing to the success of the organisation and accordingly prepare solutions.

17. Who gave contingency approach ? Fiedler Tannenbaum Vroom Porter Lawler Peter F. Drucker Fred Luthans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiedler_contingency_model

18. What is the difference between line and staff? Line executives are responsible for implementation of work staff people undertake advisory work and give guidance and support. Line executives are in authority positions, staff people work as advisors / support people

19. Why there is confliect between line and staff? Line people consider staff people as too theoretical, impractical, unrealistic Staff people consider line people as very unreasonable, unwilling to change, unsophisticated, unprofessional.... Line people understand the reality better, but staff people understand the theory better. There is also a type of Ego problem between the two

20. What is span of control? How many subordinates can you handle? This is called span of control. If you can handle more people, you have wider span V.A. Graicunas (a French Management thinker ) identified the number of relationship a person would have as per span of control. He suggested that there should not be more than 8 direct subordinates to an executive.

21. What is power and politics? Power = influence everyone wants to acquire power (influence over others) Politics = the process through which people try to acquire power in an organisation. There is bound to be struggle for power in every organisation. People want to get power, but remember, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

22. What is conflict in organisation? Different ideas / different perspectives / different approaches create conflict. Conflict is natural in every organisation. There cannot be any organisation – which doesnt have conflict. Conflict can be due to : 1. different goals 2. different methods of working 3. limited resources 4. willingness to acquire power

23. How to manage conflict in organisation? Thre are 4 methods : 1. avoid it (the worst method) (lose-lose) 2. compromise (it is also very bad method) (lose win) 3. dominate on others (it is also bad – as you try to crush others) (win lose) 4. Win-win approach or confrontation approach

24. What is the best method to manage conflict? Confrontation (win-win approach) sit across table, find a solution which is good for both the parties to conflict.

25. What is authority? Your ability to influence is called power. When you derive this power from your formal position, it is called authority. Authority is the power that you derive from your formal position.

26. What is the acceptance theory of authority? When you derive authority from others, (or others accept you as superior) it is called acceptance theory of authority. This theory is given by Chester I. Barnard

27. How can we handle authority relation in the organisation? There should be balance between authority and responsibility. Authority should be = responsibility if authority is less than responsibility or more than it, it will not work. We need to have a balance between the two.

28. What is delegation? When an executive passes his authority and responsibility to his subordinates and asks them to undertake some work, it is called delegation. Remember : ultimate accountability can never be delegated.

29. Why dont executives delegate? 1 They have a fear – the subordinates will develop and overtake them 2. they have a false notion that their subordinates are useless creatures and are simply incompetent 3. they dont know how to delegate 4. they dont want to train and develop their subordinates 5. subordinates are not willing to take up responsiblities

30. What are the principles of delegation? 1. create proper setup 2. give proper training to subordinates 3. give proper support to subordinates 4. give adequate authority along with responsibility 5. trust your subordinates 6. establish clear communication channel

32. What is the difference between formal and informal organisation? Formal organisation represents rules, processes, line of communication and hierarchies which have been set up by the formal authority of the organisation (top management). Informal organisation evolves spontaneously out of the needs of people and is based on likings, choice, friendship, and mutual support.

33. Which is better – formal or informal? Both are necessary and both exist simultaneously formal organisation enables the usual workings , discipline, order and systems informal organisation fulfills the needs of people. Informal organisation has greater power (because it is based on the choice of people).

34. How should you recruit people ? Find out your requirements (from job analysis) and find our competencies in the employee and then find a match between these two.

35. What is job analysis? Finding each element relating to job is called job analysis. It has 2 outcomes : 1. job description 2. job specification

36. What is job description? Description = details when we write all the details related to the job, it is called job description. It describes how a person will perform job.

37. What is job specification? It is to specify minimum requirements from job holder. It lists down qualifications, skills experience expected from a job holder.

38. What is job design? Grouping various activities / tasks to be performed by the job holder is called job designing. It is carried out a very systematic process to find the best way to do a job. Here we look into various options and prepare one best way to do a job.

39. What are the principles of job designing ? How to make job more interesting, challenging, exciting for job holder? For this we have to undertake job designing very carefully. Job designing is carried out using a very systematic process.

40. What is job enrichment ? Enrich means to add the following with the job : 1. skill variety 2. task identity 3. task significance 4. autonomy 5. feedback thus by enriching, we can make any job more interesting and exciting.

44. What are the methods of performance appraisal? Performance appraisal means evaluating an employee on the basis of his performance on the job and guiding him for his improvement. It is a tool of HRD for development of employees. Methods are : 1. ranking 2. rating 3. forced choice method 4. 360 degree appraisal 5. critical incident method 6 MBO 7. forced distribution method

45. What is MBO? MBO= manaement by objectives here we try to manage employees on the basis of their objectives. Here we enable employees to set up their objectives and then to achieve their objectives. We undertake regular employee appraisal during the period and guide the employees so that they may improve their performance.

46. What is 360 degree appraisal method? When all the employees connected to the employee being appraised participate in appraisal, it is called 360 appraisal method. Here the employee is simultaneously appraised by his superiors, subordinates, colleagues and peers. Thus it is called 360 appraisal – because it makes a complete circle of appraisers (from top to the bottom).
