Chapter 1 Management and Management
Section 1 Overview of Management
meaning of management
In ancient times, "Guan" meant lock and key, and later extended to mean jurisdiction and control, while "Li" meant processing and rectification. The two words management are used together to indicate the process of controlling, rectifying, and processing things within the scope of power.
American management scientist Taylor’s views
Let others know exactly what to do and let them use the best and most economical method to do it. The main purpose of management should be to maximize the prosperity of the employer and to maximize the prosperity of each employee.
Fayol
Management is the process of planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, controlling, etc. activities
Fundamentals of Management Definition
American Management Association's Perspective
Management is the achievement of organizational goals through the efforts of others
Three points
Management must be implemented through others
In the management process, employees should be motivated to work hard
Employees' efforts should be directed toward a common goal, the organizational goals
Simon's point of view
1978 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics
The management process is decision-making
Emphasize the importance of decision-making
Equating management with decision-making
Peter Drucker's perspective
Management is a professional function based on performance responsibility
Management is a professional job, and like other technical jobs, it has its own proprietary skills, methods, tools and techniques
The point of view of this book
The process of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the resources owned by an organization - human, financial, material and information resources - in an effective manner under a specific environment to achieve organizational goals.
connotation
Management is the behavior of an organization. An organization is made up of more than one person; the organization has a common goal
The objects of management are human resources, funds, materials, information and other resources.
The effectiveness of management lies in making full use of various resources to achieve organizational goals with the least consumption
The functions are planning, organizing, leading, controlling, and innovating
The main body of management is the manager. There are managers at different levels and departments in an organization, but they all perform the above-mentioned management functions. The systematic execution of management functions embodies the entire process of management.
nature of management
Duality of Management
Basic point
On the one hand, management is produced by the cooperative labor of many people, is caused by the socialization of productive forces, and is necessary (necessity) to effectively organize joint labor, so it has natural attributes related to productive forces and large-scale social production. ;
On the other hand, management is carried out under certain social production conditions and must reflect the will of the owners of the means of production to direct and supervise labor. Therefore, it has social attributes linked to production relations and social systems.
social attributes (particularity)
Determined by social production relations
Connected with production relations and social systems
Natural attributes (common characteristics of management)
arising from the collective labor process itself
Linked to productivity and social large-scale production
The science and art of management
Manager's ability = scientific knowledge, management art and experience accumulation. Only by combining the three can we achieve management initiative and success. The glue of the combination is practice, that is, elevating experience into theory and using theory to guide practice.
Scientific nature of management
Management is a scientific system composed of a series of concepts, principles, principles and methods. It has its own inherent laws, so management theory has a great guiding role in management practice.
The art of management
Management knowledge has greater skill, creativity and flexibility in its function. It is difficult to imprison it with stereotypes and precepts. It has a strong practicality. Therefore, management is a creative labor that mainly relies on the labor creation of managers.
The role of management

Ethics and law are two indispensable means to regulate and regulate the behavior of non-economic organizations
Ethics, law, and market mechanisms are the three indispensable means to regulate and standardize the behavior of economic organizations.
The relationship between ethics and efficiency
Ethical management of enterprises means that enterprises pay attention to safeguarding the interests of stakeholders, which requires taking actions and paying certain costs.
The relationship between ethics and effectiveness is supported to some extent by empirical research
It is possible to achieve both benefits and ethics

Section 1 Early Management Thoughts
The relationship among management activities, management thoughts and management theories
Management activities are the basis of management thinking
Management ideas come from experience in management activities
Management theory is the refining, generalization and sublimation of management thinking. It is itself a management thought and is a relatively mature and highly systematic management thought.
Not all management ideas are management theories
Management theory guides management activities and is tested by management activities.

Later generations introduced management into the classroom based on the framework
Weber's theory of administration
Max Weber (Germany)
He has made outstanding contributions to classical organization theory and is known as the "Father of Organization Theory"
Representative works
"Economic History"
"Theory of Social and Economic Organization"
"The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism"
content
Hierarchy, authority and administration (including clear rules, defined work tasks and discipline) are the basis of all social organizations
three kinds of authority
personality cult authority
Base
belief in the clear and special dignity, heroism, or exemplary character of an individual
traditional authority
Base
precedent and practice
rational, legitimate authority
Base
The right of law or those elevated to a position of authority to issue orders...
The basis of an ideal organizational form
Desirable Features
There is a clear division of labor
Legal arrangements are made for various public offices or positions based on hierarchical principles to form a top-down command company or hierarchical system
Employees are selected based on technical qualifications obtained through formal examinations or educational training, and are appointed solely based on the requirements of the position.
All holders of public office are appointed, except for a few public offices that are subject to election.
Administrative managers are full-time managers who receive fixed salaries and have a clearly defined promotion system.
Administrative personnel must strictly abide by the rules, disciplines and procedures stipulated in the organization
Relationships between members in an organization are guided by rational principles and are not affected by personal emotions. The same is true for the relationship between the organization and the outside world
Weber's ideas
This highly structured, formal, and impersonal ideal administrative organization system is a reasonable means of coercive control and the most effective form of achieving goals and improving efficiency.
Features

are superior to other forms in many aspects
theoretical significance
It is a supplement to the theories of Taylor and Fayol, and has had a great influence on subsequent management scientists, especially organizational theorists.

Section 3 Behavioral Science Theory
cause
A sign that management thought and theory has entered the third stage of development
Integrate knowledge from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and economics, focusing on studying people's behavior at work and the reasons for these behaviors
To coordinate interpersonal relationships within the organization
To achieve the purpose of improving work efficiency
Overturned the research premise of the "economic man" hypothesis of classical scientific management theory
The focus of management shifts to the most active factor in management - people
It was called interpersonal theory in the early days, and later developed into behavioral science theory. In the mid-1960s, it developed into organizational behavior.

Most members deliberately limit output on their own
Workers have different attitudes towards their superiors at different levels

Main content (summary based on Hawthorne test)
Workers are "social beings" rather than "economic beings"
Productivity mainly depends on the employee's work attitude and his relationship with the people around him
Employee’s personal situation

There are informal organizations in enterprises
significance
Created an era of emphasis on human factors in management
Correction complements and develops classical management theory
laid the foundation for behavioral science
Opened up new areas for the development of management thought
Pointed out the direction for changes in management methods
shortcoming
can only be used as a management philosophy
Because only relying on interpersonal relationships within the organization for coordination without other management conditions, it is impossible to improve organizational efficiency.
It is biased to overemphasize the role of worker morale in organizational efficiency.
Research methods are not scientific

Management span (management width, management span)
Definition: refers to the number of subordinates directly managed by a leader
Management level: the various organizational levels from the highest level of management to the lowest level of management, which are essentially manifestations of the vertical division of labor within the organization.
The impact of management span and management levels on management
The level of management is affected by the size of the organization and the span of management
When the scope of management remains unchanged, the larger the scale of the organization, the more levels of management. The scale of the organization is directly proportional to the level of management.
When the size of the organization remains unchanged, the greater the management span, the fewer the management levels. The management span is inversely proportional to the management level.
