Lecture: 02
<Evolution of Management Theory>

[1] Scientific management theory:


- Proposed by Frederick W. Taylor
- Title: father of scientific management
- Book: principles of scientific management
- Worked in Pennsylvania (Midville steel company)

Four basic principles:


(1) Development of a true science management
(2) Scientific selection of worker
(3) Scientific education and development of worker
(4) Intimate, friendly co-operation between management and worker

Differential Rate System:


- Proposed by Henry L. Grantt
- Accomplishing work timely to get bonus for that
- Example: If one worker did his job finish in time he will get 50 cent bonus for that.
Supervisor will get bonus for each worker under him do work in time

Fatigue and motion study:


- Proposed by Frank B. & Lillian Gilberth:
- Psychologist
- By research they reduce body movement to finish a work
- Example: For exterior brick: 18 movements to 5 and interior brick: 18 movements to 2

[2] Classical organizational theory:


- Proposed by Henry Fayol
- Fayol’s 14 principles of management
- Those principles are:
o Division of labor (work divided into small part)
o Authority (ordering power of manager)
o Discipline (doing ones work in time by following regulations)
o Unity of command (worker will obey ones order)
o Unity of direction
o Subordination of individual interest (priority to group interest)
o Centralization (lessen worker decision making nature)
o Order (right person at right place and time)
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

o Remuneration (wage will be enough with respect to his job)


o Equity (to grow mentality to not to give up job)
o Stability of staff
o Initiative
o Team spirit
o The hierarchy

[3] Bureaucratic Management:


- Proposed by Max Weber
- Rules and regulation strict environment impersonal

Organizational Behavior:
- The field of study concerned with the action of people at work

Hawthorne experiment:
- Proposed by Elton Mayo
- Worked in Western Electronics Company: how to increase productivity of worker by
changing variables
- Why he called: select a test group and increase light intensity and observed that productivity
increased and then he reduced the light intensity and make it close to dark but there is no
certain amount of change in production. So it is not a production rate factor. By increasing
wage of that group nothing changed. So the company called Elton Mayo ( Professor of
Harvard University)

Hawthorne Effect:
Employees would work harder if they believe management is concerned about their welfare and
supervisor paid special attention to them. This phenomenon is known as “Hawthorne Effect”.

Lecture: 03
Behavioral Science Approach:
- Proposed by Abraham Maslow
- Known as “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need”
- Provided by organization

Self Actualization Need (activity to develop itself)

Esteem Need (honor, pride)

Social Need (love, affection, friendship)

Safety and Security Need (shelter)

Physiological Need (food)


Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Theory X and Theory Y:


- Provided by McGregor
- Two theories. These are: (a) Theory X and (b) Theory Y
- Theory X: work is distasteful and employees must be motivated by force, money or praise
- Theory Y: people are inherently motivated to work and do a good job. People relish work
and eagerly approach to work to develop their creative capacities

[4] Systems Approach:


View of organization as a unified, directed system of interrelated part

External Environment

Conversion
Input Process Output

Feedback
Key Concept:

(a) Subsystem: parts those are making whole system


(b) Synergy: it means whole is greater than sum of its parts
(c) Open system: the system that interacts its environment
(d) Closed system: the system that doesn’t interact with its environment
(e) System boundary: every system has a system boundary that represents the system from its
environment
(f) Flow: every system has flow of energy, information and material
(g) Feedback: keys to system control

[5] Contingency Approach:


Management techniques might vary with different types of situation. Organizations are
different, problems are different, and so management techniques must be different

Lecture: 04
<Motivation>

Psychological characteristics that contribute to a person’s degree of commitment


Basic Assumptions:
(1) Motivation is commonly assumed to be a good thing
(2) Motivation is in short supply and need of periodic replenishment
(3) Motivation is one of the several factors that goes into a person’s performance
(4) Motivation is a tool with which manager can arrange job relationship in an organization
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Early views of motivation:


1) F.W. Taylor
2) Human relations model by Elton Mayo
3) Human resources model by McGregor

(1) Taylor: manager determined the most efficient way to do repetitive jobs and motivate workers
with the system of wage initiative.
(2) Elton Mayo: boredom and repetitiveness of many tasks reduce motivation while social contact
helped to create and sustain motivation
(3) McGregor: Theory X and Theory Y

Contemporary views of motivation:


(1) Need theory : (a) Maslow’s need theory (b) ERG theory (c) Two factors theory
(2) Reinforcement theory
(3) Equity theory
(4) Goal setting theory
(5) Expectancy theory
a) Maslow’s need theory:

Need Drive

Satisfaction Action

A satisfied need is not a motivation. It will be added with previous Pyramid.


b) ERG theory:
a. Proposed by Clayton Alderfer
b. Sub theory:
i. Existence theory ( fundamental needs)
ii. Relatedness theory ( social, love, esteem, pride, friendship)
iii. Growth theory ( self actualization)
c. Pyramid of need will go both in up and down direction
d. When higher needs are frustrated lower needs will return

Lecture: 05
c) Two factors theory:
a. Proposed by Fredrick Herzberg
b. There are two types of facto in case of job satisfaction.
c. Those are:
i. Satisfier or motivating factor: 1753 items or factors
ii. Dis-satisfier or hygiene factor: 1844 items or factors
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Equity theory:
Ratio between individual’s job input and job rewards.

Expectancy theory:
People choose how to behave from among alternative behavior based on this expectation of
what there is to gain from each behavior.
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Four Assumptions:
(1) Behavior is determined by a combination of factors in the individual and environment
(2) Individuals make conscious decision about their behavior
(3) Individuals have different needs, desired and goals
(4) Individuals decide between alternative behaviors on the basis of expectation that a given
behavior will lead to a desired outcome.

The major components:


(1) Performance (outcome expectancy)
(2) Valence (power to motivate): high or low valance
(3) Effort Performance efficiency (to give same effort for desired outcome every time)

Reinforcement Theory:

Stimulus Respons Consequence Future Response

A manager wishes to change employee behavior must change the consequences of behavior.

Four methods of behavior modification:


(1) Positive reinforcement (to be praised for desired work done)
(2) Avoidance learning (avoid those work which responsible for unpleasant consequences)
(3) Extinction (express distaste to a work by ignoring or avoiding)
(4) Punishment (give punishment due to wrong step or bad consequences)

Goal setting theory:


Individuals are motivated when they behave in ways that move them to certain clear goals that
they accept and can reasonably expect to attain.

Assumptions:
(1) Establishment of standard
(2) Evaluate whether the standard can be achieved
(3) Evaluate whether the standard matches personal goal
(4) Standard is accepted goal if it is set, behavior proceeds towards goal
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Lecture: 06
<Leadership>
<All managers are leaders but not all leaders are manager. They don’t have any official power>

The process of directing & influencing the task related activities of group members.

Four aspects: -
(1) Other People: Member will respect him as leader
(2) Power
(3) Values: other member will admire values
(4) Influence: influential position over others

Trait approach to Leadership:


(1) Self confidence
(2) Extrovert: exception- Abraham Lincoln
(3) Tall: exception: Napoleon
(4) Bright & Dynamic

Traits must be the results of leadership experience rather than causes of leadership ability.

Behavioral approach to leadership:

Leadership

Task Oriented Employee


Style Oriented Style

1) Manager took all the decisions; Tell the worker how to do their task; closely monitor worker
2) Duty is placed to worker’s will, how they do and what they do to complete the task

Boss Centered Leadership ↔↔↔↔↔↔ Employee Centered Leadership


Use of authority by manager

Area of freedom for subordinate

Leadership Style:

Authoritian A I, A II
Consultive C I, C II
Participative G II

A I: manager takes decision based on what information he has

A II: Manager takes decision but took information from sub-ordinate

G II: Employee will take decision

C I: Manager will select based on employee choices (representative of employee can be used)

C II: same as “C I” but manager will contact with employee directly

1) Do I have enough information or skill to solve the problem on my own? If No, (A I) X


2) Do I need to make a high quality decision that my employees are likely to disagree? If yes (G II) X
3) Is the problem structured? No, (C II, G II) X
a. Structured : known problem, known solution as it was arise previously
4) Is the acceptance of the group crucial for success of the decision? If yes (A I, A II) X
5) If the acceptance is important and members are likely to disagree. Yes (C II, G II)

Vroom Yelton Model:


The overall effectiveness of leadership is a function of the effectiveness of the decision, minus the cost
of making the decision, plus the value realized in developing people’s abilities by means of committed
decision making.
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Lecture: 08
<Organizational Design & Organizational Structure>
Organizational Design:
The determination of organizational structure that is most appropriate for strategy, people, technology
and task of organization.

Organizational Structure:
The way in which organization’s activities are divided, organized and co-ordinated.

Four Building Block:

1. Division of work
2. Departmentalization : works are divided into various groups
3. Hierarchy : a few sub-ordinate will present and who will be whose under
4. Co-ordination: integration in between several departments

Division of work: (Adam Smith)


Breakdown of a complex task into components

i. Advantages: job specialization, so increases productivity & efficiency


ii. Disadvantages: boredom, absence of sense of control

Departmentalization:
Combine the task in a logical and efficient manner

Hierarchy:
i. Span of management control:- No. of subordinates reporting directly to a manager
ii. Chain of command:- A plan that specifies who reports to whom
a. It affects what happens to work relationship in one particular department
b. Span can affect the speed of decision making

Two types:

Widespan (flat) Narrow span

Wide span is better as decision making can be fast, chance of break of command is less.
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

i. Co-ordination: Integrating the activities of separate department in order to persue


organizational goal effectively
ii. Differentiator: Barriers towards co-ordination

Lawrence & Lorsch:


1) Perspective : everyone think own as most important than others
2) Time orientation
3) Interpersonal style (want of explanation of their communication are different for different
person)
4) Formality

Lecture: 09
<Organization Design>

Classic Approach: (Max Weber, Fredrick Taylor, Henri Fayol)


- Bureaucracy
- <Bangladesh Secretariat, Ford>
- Organizational structure rigid and well defined
- Characteristics:
i. Specialization of activities
ii. Routinization of activities
iii. Appointment by merit
iv. Provision of career opportunity
v. Rational, impersonal work climate

Task Technology Approach: (Joan Woodward)


1. Unit production (produce 1 customized unit such as tailor knit customize clothes unit)
2. Small batch production ( production process combined with a lot of steps and then assembled)
a. Small batch production: cycle production
b. Large batch production: car production
3. Mass Production (large amount of production of a product from a single machine such as soap
factory)
4. Process production (large process follow line system and example is like: liquid material
production)

Classification of production:
i. Unit and small batch production
ii. Large batch and mass production
iii. Process production

3 Conclusions:
1) The more complex the technology the greater the number of manager and managerial level
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

2) The span of management for first level manager increases as we move from unit to mass
production but decreases as we move from mass to process production
3) As technology become complex, administrative and clerical staff increases

<Organizational Structure>
Functional Organization:

- Local pharmaceutical company or local bank

Disadvantages:
a. Hierarchy becomes complex when the company becomes larger
b. Accountability diminishes. It become impossible to find out the reason of error of a work

Advantages:
a. Easier supervision

Product / Market Organization:


Division by

i. Geography
ii. Product
iii. Consumer

Example: Multinational Companies

(1) Geography:
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

- Example: Shevron, Unilever, Nestle etc.


(2) Product:

- Example: Beximco, Rahimafrooz etc


(3) Consumer:

Advantages:
i. High work performance and good co-ordination
ii. Accountability is clear
iii. Burden on central management is eased

Disadvantages:
i. Very expensive structure

Matrix Structure:
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

- Example: construction company


At first they take a project in their hand. They involve human resource at different part.
After finishing that work, they transfer their HR to another project.

Advantages:

i. Cost saving flexibility


ii. No un-necessary duplication of human resource

Disadvantages:

i. If there is absence of co-ordination among the manager’s then the total structure
will fail down.

Lecture: 10
<Marketing Management>
Market Place – Physical existence present ( Bashundhara City)

Market Space – Digital Existence (Online Selling & Buying, Share Market)

Core Concept of Marketing:


i. Need: generally necessity of something is indicated (we need food)
ii. Wants: specifically mentioned what’s need (we need food but it must be burger)
iii. Demand: ability or capability to fill-up the need (want to buy Mercedes Benz)

Scope of Marketing:
1) Goods : physically something is available (example: rice)
2) Service : what we can’t find out physically (example: doctor, beauty parlors, hospital, airlines)
3) Experience : gathering experience by visiting park, cinema etc
4) Events : sponsorship in sports (puma, nike, soft drinks company)
5) Person : celebrity marketing
6) Places : picnic spot, jamuna resort
7) Property : real estate business

b. Example: general motors
c. No input taken from customers
d. Consumer will buy product if the quality of product is high
3) Selling concept:

Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Lecture: 11
Market segments:
Identify the distinct group of customers and product will be manufactured according to their demand

(1) Geographic segmentation: Hilton hotel built different type or models hotel dependent on the
location such as:- Bangladesh and middle east have difference in Hilton hotel; Sopno
(Bangladeshi company-shopping store house), having their shopping mall size based on location
such as gulshan, dhanmondi etc arena difference.
(2) Demographic Segmentation:
a. Age and life cycle stage: Milk of NIDO having age limit (full cream for children, half
cream for middle age)
b. Gender: Fair & Lovely is manufactured for both male and female
c. Generation:
i. 1946-1964: baby boomers
ii. 1964-1984: generation X
iii. 1984 to present: Generation Y
Based on generation clothes have variation
d. Income: Nokia company (mobile set of different price)
e. Social class: products are manufactured based on particular social class (in foreign
country high class automobile are available such as Roles Royce, Limozine, Mercedes
etc)
(3) Psychographic segmentation:
a. Life style: conscious people eat sugar free food. Who are late sleeper, take tea or coffee
b. Personality: human normally choose dress based on their personality. Example: dress-
up varies from public university to private university & English medium school
c. Values: news-papers kept on household based on political view point
(4) Behavioral Segment:
a. Occasion: increases in price of cattle’s due to eid-ul-fitr and kurbani
b. User status: ex-user, non-user, first time user (telecom company of Bangladesh: closed
sim open bonus for ex-user, decrease call rate for non-user, subscription of zoom 2
months free for first time user)
c. Usage rate: low, medium, high (grammen do business deal with corporate company to
grab customer or user)
d. Loyalty status: hard core loyal (loyal to a fixed brand always;example: Bata), split loyal
(loyal to more than one brand; example: Bata and Apex shoe), shifting loyal (loyalty
towards brand is change after few days)
e. Switches: whatever found they buy that one not follow brand loyalty
(5) Buyer readiness stage:
a. Some people fully aware, some people fully un-aware and some people know few about
new product (marketing also done based on this)
(6) Attitude:
Vote marketing scenario
a. Enthusiastic: just light discussion is enough
b. Positive: needed slight reinforcement
c. Indifferent: try to teach or try to make understandable
d. Negative: can’t be motivated
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

e. Hostile: never want to go there for convincing even

Effective segmentation:
(1) Measurable:
(2) Substantial: market should be large enough
(3) Accessible: market should be accessible (example: pepsi company established place for them by
removing the cocacola compaies power over market)
(4) Actional: different action should be taken
(5) Differentiable:

Selecting and entering target market:


(1) Single segment concentration: targeting a small market by just a single product (such as: vox-
wagen, porche, puma start car manufacturing just for one sector of a market)

Lecture: 12
<Product life cycle>
What will be the life cycle of a product after it is launched in market?
Maturity
Decline
Growth
Sales revenue / profit

Introduction
Due to technical
advancement, product will
be obsolete in market

Time
Example:

Intro – apple’s ipod, wi-max (Qubee, Banglalion)


Growth – laptop
Maturity – car, desktop
Decline – type writer, cd, newspaper, normal camera

Growth-lumped maturity pattern:

Time
At first when a product launched in market having great demand but after a long time it will be mature.

Example: apple’s i-phone, djuice sim etc


Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Cycle Recycle pattern:

Example: Pharmaceuticals Company

When a product come to the decline stage then those company manager increase their advertisement
so that there could create sharp change in demand.

Scalloped Pattern:

Example: mobile phone

At first mobile phone set are used for communication purpose only. After stabilized, it enriched its
features. Such as: camera built in, walk-man, internet browsing etc. it’s in ever increasing pattern in the
field of its own development.

Buying Behaviour:
(1) Complex buying behaviour
(2) Dissonance reading buying behaviour
(3) Habitual buying behaviour
(4) Variety seeking
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

In details discussed below:

(1) Complex buying behaviour:


After a lot of thinking consumer buy a product. Example: car, laptop etc.
(2) Dissonance reading buying behaviour:
Even after buying costly product, consumer does not satisfied fully. Example: buying carpet,
dress (at the time of buying its feeling good but after buying consumer think that this was not
that much better)
(3) Habitual buying behaviour:
Consumers buy a product without thinking about anything. Example: rice, egg etc.
(4) Variety seeking:
Variation and variety checking case, we buy some product such as ice-cream, biscuit, chocolate.

Designing competitive strategies:


(1) Market leader
(2) Market challenger
(3) Market follower
(4) Market nicher

In details discussed below:

(1) Market leader:


Market share is more than 50%. Example: soft drinks - cocacola, food business – macdonalds,
mobile – GP, computer software - microsoft
(2) Market challenger:
After market leader who has majority in share in market and always challenge market leader
Example: warid, baglalink, apple, burger king, pepsi etc
(3) Market follower:
Try to alive in the market by producing product as like market leader
(4) Market nicher:
Does not compete with others. They poses small customer base. Example: porche, only make
sports car.

Strategy of market leader:


(1) Expanding total market
(2) Defending market share:
Tackle other company when they are in competition. Such as: when warid provide any new tariff
offer then GP also provides some offers by reducing their tariff too.
(3) Expanding market share

Market challenger:
(1) Price discount
(2) Cheaper good
(3) Improved service (warranty is much more provided by others than Rahimafrooz)
(4) Product innovation (throw challenge towards market leader by launching new products)
(5) Product pliferation (varieties of goods are used for challenge such as when apple throw
challenge by launching Ipod in market then Microsoft launch Zune)
Industrial Management (S. Ehtesham Al Hanif [ID: 0510035])

Objectives of Niche Marketing:


It has two main objectives. These are:

(1) Protect Niche marketing


(2) Increase customer number

Market Follower:
(1) Counterfeiter: exact copy of market leader’s product and launch them in the stable market.
Example – Zinzira made products
(2) Cloner: copy sophisticatedly. Example: Nokia – Nokla
(3) Imitator: give their own brand name but copy market leaders product and cheaper in price
(4) Adapter: steal idea of product but they improve the product and manufactured that product.
Such as, windows OS copy a lot of thing form MAC.

Lecture: 13
<Performance Appraisal>
(1) Ranking
a. Simplest and oldest method of performance appraisal
b. Compare everyone with everyone
c. Example:
i. 5 employees are A, B, C, D, E
( )
ii. No of choice of ranking = = = 10
d. Presence of Biasness
e. Complexity arise when ranking system allotted among employees
(2) Person to person comparison:
a. Always compares everyone with some key person
b. Determine a few characteristics at first
i. Such as (1. Leadership 2. Initiative 3. Dependability)
1. Supervisor will give points on those categories (example: if a employee
did good work and show good performance then he will get 5 points
and based on that others will be pointed or scored)
(3) Grading:
a. It is first used by US Federal Civil Service

- Probability is less in case of biased nature towards employee
- Pair of question will be provided to supervisor
- It is forced to supervisor to answer minimum one Question answer among pair of questions
- In each pair all could be positive or negative in nature
- This method is not popular because people do not keep the answers in secret
- Example 1:

o Training of the rater: who did rating should be taught how to rate and give solution
of his mistakes in case of rating. Example:
 Halo error: comment good or bad depends on just only one characteristics
 Central tendency error: without knowing or knowing less, sometimes rating
is made and that is common number or type rating
 Similar to me error: whom one think like him, rated highly and favoritism
 Systematic / constant error: (1) too harsh (2) too easy
