When to State a Management Theory in the Workplace?
"There are many management tools that we can apply in the work place. At what point is the quoting of a theory a positive or a negative? Is there a risk that staff will switch off due to not understanding/wanting to know the theory behind a decision?
Is theory only for the academics and managers to use and state amongst their own group?" |
|
|
Management with Social Orientation
"Though we are thinking our best action for our company, we should not forget our social responsibility. I am proud of my Tata group because it is a social oriented group. We should return some portion of our profit for the weaker section of the society." |

Important Areas for 2011

Few Changes in Management Concepts Top-10
"It is amazing to note that 9 out of 10 global top management concepts of 2010 are common with 2009. This means we have not changed our thinking and working styles and remained slave to status-quo. It is not, therefore, surprising that we have not made any significant progress as human race!
To me, top management concepts that shall matter are the basic building blocks like clear vision / mission, goal setting, strategising, operational perfection, result-orientation, talent management, systematic thinking, etc., supported by tools like toc, TPM, TQM, Six Sigma, lean management, balanced score card
The focus has to be on 'what to do?', 'how to do?' and then 'to do!.
This is one of the approaches one has to dwell upon.
I invite comments from my friends in management field." |
