Business Environment
• All the forces and factors that affect the activities of the firm

• It can be divided into two:

- Macro Environment and

- Micro Environment
Micro Environment
• the environment that includes the elements within the
organization’s boundaries and has a direct impact on the daily
activities of the company.

• Customers, Competitors, Suppliers, Shareholders, Employee &


Labor market and Financial Institutions

SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis
SWOT Analysis

Strengths
• A firm's strengths are its resources and capabilities that can be used as a basis for
developing a competitive advantage. Examples of such strengths include:
• patents
• strong brand names
• good reputation among customers
• cost advantages from proprietary know-how
• exclusive access to high grade natural resources
• favorable access to distribution networks
SWOT Analysis
Weaknesses
The absence of certain strengths may be viewed as a weakness. For example, each of
the following may be considered weaknesses:

• lack of patent protection


• a weak brand name
• poor reputation among customers
• high cost structure
• lack of access to the best natural resources
• lack of access to key distribution channels

In some cases, a weakness may be the flip side of a strength. Take the case in which a
firm has a large amount of manufacturing capacity. While this capacity may be
considered a strength that competitors do not share, it also may be a considered a
weakness if the large investment in manufacturing capacity prevents the firm from
reacting quickly to changes in the strategic environment.
SWOT Analysis
Opportunities
The external environmental analysis may reveal certain new opportunities for profit
and growth. Some examples of such opportunities include:
• an unfulfilled customer need
• arrival of new technologies
• loosening of regulations
• removal of international trade barriers
Threats
• Changes in the external environmental also may present threats to the firm. Some
examples of such threats include:
• shifts in consumer tastes away from the firm's products
• emergence of substitute products
• new regulations
• increased trade barriers
SWOT Analysis
The SWOT Matrix
SWOT Analysis
• The SWOT Matrix
• A firm should not necessarily pursue the more lucrative opportunities. Rather, it
may have a better chance at developing a competitive advantage by identifying a
fit between the firm's strengths and upcoming opportunities. In some cases, the
firm can overcome a weakness in order to prepare itself to pursue a compelling
opportunity.
• To develop strategies that take into account the SWOT profile, a matrix of these
factors can be constructed. The SWOT matrix (also known as a TOWS Matrix) is
shown below
• S-O strategies pursue opportunities that are a good fit to the company's strengths.
• W-O strategies overcome weaknesses to pursue opportunities.
• S-T strategies identify ways that the firm can use its strengths to reduce its
vulnerability to external threats.
• W-T strategies establish a defensive plan to prevent the firm's weaknesses from
making it highly susceptible to external threats.

• Tactical objectives
-short-term department performance targets (eg- to raise output by 5%
within 6 months)
• Operational objectives
-statements addressed to small groups and individuals. (eg- 10 new dealers
by the end of the month)
How to be SMART
SMART Objectives
• Specific:
Be precise about what you are going to achieve
• Measurable:
Quantify the objectives
• Appropriate:
Align with the needs of the target audience
• Realistic:
Do you have the resources to make the objective happen?
• Time-Specific:
State when you will achieve the objective
SMART: Specific Objectives
Specific:
Be precise about what you are going to achieve
– Specify target
– Specify intended outcome
– One outcome per objective
– Avoid vague verbs (e.g. know, understand)
– Make sure the objective is linked to the goal
– Sample: By January 2010, at least 3% of the engineering majors at the
institution will be female
SMART: Measurable Objectives
Measurable:
Quantify the objectives

– Use measures as indicators of program success

– If possible, establish a baseline (e.g. In January 2009, 2% of the engineering


majors at the institution were female)

– Sample: By January 2010, at least 3% of the engineering majors at the


institution will be female
SMART: Appropriate Objectives
Appropriate:

Align with the needs of the target audience


– Meeting the objective will advance the goal

– Identify a specific target audience

– Are inclusive of diversity within your group

– Sample: By January 2010, at least 3% of the engineering majors at the institution


will be female

– Note: The “A” is sometimes called “Attainable” or “Achievable” in the literature.


SMART: Realistic Objectives
Realistic:
Do you have the resources to make the objective happen?
– Are important to stakeholders

– Are adequately resourced

– Can be achieved

– Sample: By January 2010, at least 3% of the engineering majors at the


institution will be female

Take care on what you say you can do! The January 2009 baseline was 2%. Is a 1%
increase in one year realistic?
SMART: Time-Specific Objectives
Time-Specific:
State when you will achieve the objective

– Provide timeframe indicating when objective will be met

– Sample: By January 2010, at least 3% of the engineering majors at the


institution will be female

Public Sector
Business Organization
• all businesses owned by the state and local
government, public services, such as hospitals,
schools and the fire services, and government
departments.

Two main types of business organizations


in the public sector:
• Public corporations
• Municipal enterprises
Public Corporations
- public Corporations are wholly owned by the state
or central government.

• businesses which have been nationalized: they were once


owned by private individuals, but were purchased by the
government
• to keep prices low
• to keep people in jobs
• to offer a service to the public
Public Corporations: Advantages
• Some industries are so important that government
ownership is thought to be essential
• If industries are controlled by monopolies, the natural
monopolies are often owned by the government.
• If an important business is failing and likely to
collapse, the government can step in to nationalize it.
• Important public services, such as TV and radio
broadcasting, are often in the public sector.
E.g. BBC
Public Corporations: Disadvantages
• Profit motive might not be as powerful as in private
sector
• Subsidies can lead to inefficiency as managers will
always think that the government will help them if the
business makes a loss
• As there is no close competition to the public
corporations, a lack of incentive to increase consumer
choice and increase efficiency
• Governments can use these businesses for political
resources, for example just before an election they could
create more jobs.

integrated two parts as follows:

• Organizational Structure – Body


• Organizational Culture – Soul
Organizational Structure
- The set of formal tasks assigned to individuals and departments

- Formal reporting relationships

- The design of systems to ensure effective coordination of employees


across department
Six Elements in Designing Organizational Structures

1. Work Specialization

2. Departmentalization

3. Chain of Command

4. Span of Control

5. Centralization and Decentralization

6. Formalization
Work Specialization

Tasks are subdivided into individual jobs

Division of labor concept

Employees perform only the tasks relevant to their specialized function

Jobs tend to be small, but they can be performed efficiently


Departmentalization
How jobs are grouped together is called departmentalization.

Five common forms of departmentalization are used as follows :


1. Functional

2. Geographical

3. Product

4. Process &

5. Customer.
Chain of Command

Unbroken line of authority that links all persons in an


organization

Shows who reports to whom

Associated with two underlying principles

Unity of Command

Scalar Principle
Span of Control

Number of employees who report to a supervisor

Traditional view, about seven subordinates per manager

Many lean organizations today have 30, 40, or even higher subordinates

When supervisors must be closely involved with subordinates, the span


should be small

Supervisors need little involvement with subordinates, it can be large


Span Of Control
Centralization vs Decentralization

Greater change and uncertainty in the environment are usually


associated with decentralization

The amount of centralization or decentralization should fit the firm’s


strategy

In times of crisis or risk of company failure, authority may be


centralized at the top
Formalization

written documentation used to direct and control employees.

includes rule books, policies, procedures, job descriptions, and regulations

creates "red tape" that causes more problems than it solves.

As a practical matter, many organizations are reducing formalization and


bureaucracy

“Management” has been properly studied only since early 1900s. So the
age of management studies is only around a hundred year.

So didn’t people do management before that?

???
Early Management
- Management is needed to get things done
through other people in the works where no
individual perform alone
-Management was practiced since prehistory
periods.
- People practiced management that required
group activities such as hunting and farming
- The organizations that practiced management
earlier were military, civil and churches
Egypt Dynasties (Approx BC3000 – BC2000)
Great Wall of China (Built between BC220 - BC206)
Shwe Dagon Pagoda (Bulit in around BC 600)
City of Venice
• Major economic & trade center in 1400s
• Developed early form of business enterprise and engaged in many activities
common to today’s organizations.

Industrial Revolution
• Starting in the late 1800s
• Era of replacing human power with machine power
• More Economical
• Started manufacturing goods in factories rather than home

Major Approaches to Management

Classical Approaches
Scientific General
Management Administrative
Classical Approaches
Scientific Management

• Frederick Winslow Taylor


- Taylor’s Scientific Management
Principles was born in 1911.
Four principles of Scientific Management
- Finding the best way of doing job by means of
motion study
- Standardization
- Recruitment and training
- Incentive pay
• Frank and Lillian Gilbreht
- Studied Scientific Management
- Followed Taylorism after Taylor’s Scientific
Management Principles appeared.
- Invented some efficiency models for some
workplace to remove wastes (therblig)
Taylor's four principles are as follows:
1. Replace working by "rule of thumb," or simple habit and
common sense, and instead use the scientific method to study
work and determine the most efficient way to perform specific
tasks.

2. Rather than simply assign workers to just any job, match


workers to their jobs based on capability and motivation, and train
them to work at maximum efficiency.

3. Monitor worker performance, and provide instructions and


supervision to ensure that they're using the most efficient ways of
working.

4. Allocate the work between managers and workers so that the


managers spend their time planning and training, allowing the
workers to perform their tasks efficiently.
Classical Approaches
General Administrative Theory
• Henry Fayol
- Fayol’s 14 Principles of Management was developed
in 1916.
Scalar chain, unity of command, division of labor……

• Max Weber
- German Sociologist
- Invested theory called “Bureaucracy”
Concept of Bureaucracy
- Specialization
- Strict vertical chain of command
- Standardization and formalization
- Documentation
- Everyone know their place and their work (no
less or no more)
Fayol’s 14 Principles of Management
1. Division of work
2. Authority
3. Discipline
4. Unity of Commend
5. Unity of Direction
6. Subordination of individual interests to the general interest
7. Remuneration
8. Centralization
9. Scalar Chain
10.Order
11.Equity
12.Stability of tenure of personnel

- Actual manager who thought
working condition
organizations were social systems - Proposed idealistic workplace
that required cooperation - Argued that money spent
- Believed manager’s job was to
improving labor was smart
communicate and stimulate investment
employee’s high level of effort
- First to argue that organizations
were open systems

- One of the first to recognize that -- Pioneer in field of industrial


organizations could be viewed from psychology – scientific study of
perspective of individual and group people work
behavior - Suggested using psychological
- Proposed more people-oriented tests for employee selection,
ideas than scientific management learning theory concepts for
followers employee training, and study of
-Thought organizations should be human behavior for employee
based on group ethic motivation
Behavioral Approach
Howthorne Studies

• Conducted by Western Electric Company (At Illinois)

• Started in 1924

• Initially designed as scientific management experiment

• Initiated by engineers researched on coruscation


between lighting intensities and worker’s productivity

• Harvard Professor Elton Mayo and his associates joined


in studies

• Found “Social Norms or group standards were the key


determinants of individual work behavior”.
Quantitative Approach

• Evolved from mathematical and statistical solutions developed


for military problems during World War II.

• Inventory Planning (EOQ Model)


• Resource allocation (Assignment Model, Queuing Theory)
• Loading and Routing (Transportation Model)
• Decision Theory (LP Model, Decision Tree Model)
Quantitative Approach
Quantitative Approach (PERT, CPM)
Quantitative Approach
Quanlitative Approach
TQM (Total Quality Management)
• Initiated by W. Edwards Deming &
Joseph M. Juran in 1950s (7 Tools for
Quality Management)

Quality Management
1. Intense focus on the customer
2. Concern for continual improvement
3. Process focused
4. Improvement in the quality of everything the organization does
5. Accurate measurement
6. Empowerment of employees
Contemporary Approach
• Starting in the 1960s, management researchers began to look at what was
happening in the external environment outside boundaries of the
organizations.
• Two contemporary management perspectives evolved – systems and
contingency.

System Approach

• A system is a set of interrelated and interdependent parts arranged in a


manner that produces a unified whole.
• The two basic types of systems are closed and open.
Contemporary Approach
System theory – A set of interrelated parts that function
together to achieve common objectives.
Five elements of the system – input, process, output, feedback
and environment
Hierarchy of system – subsystem, system, super system
Contemporary Approach
Contingency Approach
• The contingency approach (sometimes called the situational approach) says
that organizations are different, face different situations and require different
ways of managing.
• One size doesn't fit all. There is no best way in every situation. It is subject
to contingencies
• Universalist view: There is one best method, that can apply in every
situation
Popular Contingency Variables
Organization Size

Routineness Task Technology

Environment Uncertainty

Individual Difference
Peter Senge’ s Learning Organization
• Learning organization encourages organizational
learning that is everyone in the organization
engage learning to get new knowledge, sharing,
capturing and changing the organization itself to
adapt with changing environment
• Encourage to people to experiment new things,
tolerating failures, learning from failures, sharing
new knowledge, capturing knowledge and
leading to change organization
• Flexible and team structure, open culture,
learning and changing new practices
