P1 Assessing different classical management theories and application in service industry
Classical management theory is on basis of belief that workers have presence of
economic and physical needs. It does not account social needs along with job satisfaction but
advocates specialization of labour, maximising profit, centralised leadership along with decision
making. There are numerous classical management theories are stated below:
Scientific management approach: It is on basis of concept of planning of work to attain
standardisation, efficiency, simplification and specialisation. This acknowledge the approach to
raise productivity via mutual trust among workers and management. On basis of service industry,
every portion of task must be analysed and selected the best one and workers must be selected
carefully and offered specific training to perform task as per scientific developed method (Kark,
Van Dijk and Vashdi, 2018). The manager must be cooperating each worker at every stage in
order for ensuring about right path. Lastly, the task and responsibilities must be divided in
workers and management must develop scientific methods .
Weber's bureaucratic approach: This theory lays emphasis to operate organization under
different hierarchy of positions. Moreover, it is well known that it has presence of higher
authority which ultimately reach to owner or director of organization. This consider company as
segment of wider society on basis of concept of different formal organizations. The service
industry must have appropriate structure where positions should be appropriately arranged in
1

hierarchy along with established amount of authority and responsibility. However, expertise
labor and rules and procedure will be formalised.
Administrative approach: It is a mode to organize things in proper manner which
comprises clearly defined tasks, hierarchical structure and division of labour of the organizations.
On basis of service industry, management lays emphasis to improve performance along with
organization's overall function. Furthermore, management must imply appropriate blend of de
centralisation and centralisation of decision making and authority. Thus, unity of command and
directions should be there with interest of organization must not become subservient to interests
of individual along with interest of group of employees.
P2 Explaining role of leader and different leadership styles in context of service industry
Leadership is all about motivating, influencing and enabling for contributing towards
success and effectiveness of organization of which they are members. It is a key element in
service firm to attain success because of significance for learning, customer relations and
cooperation in this environment. The two important leadership styles are stated below with role
of leader:
Transformational leadership: It is practice of corporation through which leaders and
followers incident consonance of high level among vision and values of organization along with
competence, personality and conduct. In this leadership style, leaders motivate and encourage
subordinates to step beyond self interests and to build commitment for mission and objectives of
organizations in service industry. The leaders sacrifice willingly about own interests over the
shared objectives and values of company. Moreover, this type of leader rely on great pool of
motivation and knowledge to problem solving instead of constantly giving solution. This
particular leadership styles lays focus on inspiring followers through promoting vision that
followers would be capable to attain more than expectation with presence of extra efforts and
they seeks for arousing and satisfying higher needs (Jensen and et.al., 2019). In this aspect, there
are factors which reflects components of transformational leadership style as idealized influence
attributes and behaviour, inspirational motivation, individualised consideration and intellectual
simulation.
Transactional leadership: The leaders in this styles are highly anxious about processes
instead of future growth. However, they disburse awareness to followers work with context to
locate deviations and faults. Similarly, they concentrate in performance of followers and
2

associated satisfaction to both punishments and rewards to attain recent organizational objectives
in efficient manner. The contingent management and rewards through exception are two features
of transactional leader. Moreover, contingent reward is the reward that particular follower would
be granted if agreed objectives are attained. They will inspire commitment, loyalty and higher
performance through the followers (Cho and et.al., 2019). In management through exception,
leaders would closely trace followers for investigating level of difference of performance of
subordinates via pre identified standards.
Thus, leaders forms culture of empowerment for subordinates by giving training and
guidance along with sufficient resources and authority to satisfy the external customers which
are key to gain success in service industry.
P3 Reviewing management and leadership styles in Hazev, Haz and Tas chains

Every organization has their own culture as each aspect impacts ability of organization to
respond and compete successfully to alterations in external environment. The leaders are capable

Kurt Lewin model which is mostly used by dynamic organization. There are four stages
of the model such as:

creates the positive impact upon the management and leaders have to deal with strong

managers has to make aware the employees about new change and become familiar with
a change.
 It is also realized that employees are suffering from changes and that is why leaders
should remind the reason for a change and its benefits as well.
Refreeze:
 It is the last stage in which the employees are inclined to revert to their old habits and
thus, managers should make necessary arrangements with proper monitoring.
 They should also make positive environment so that employees are comfortable with this
new change (Akingbola, Rogers and Baluch, 2019).

On contrary, For Haz, the change system can be implement by using Kottler 8stages
process which is as mention below:

employees, help to adjust in the changing environment and this can be supported by the
leaders of Haz's open and honest dialogue.

firm to remove the obstacles and even to encourage the acceptance of a vision by the
employees, which further assist when the ideas are incorporated and implemented.
 Create short term wins: By creating short term goals will help to motivate the
employees and also involve the employees to take participate in the changing process.
 Improvements: To achieve the long term goals, the organization should also needs to
keep looking for the improvements, then only success can be achieved and also establish
the change as well into the company (Salman and Broten, 2017).
 Anchor changes: it is the last stage in which a change become only a part of corporate
culture. Such that the company's values and standards should be align with the new
vision. This will be done through regular evaluation and discussion about the progress of
a change.
