Innovative Management for a Changing World
Description
I understand that management is going through a revolution that requires organization’s
managers to carry out tasks with less but do more. The managers are also supposed to engage all
workers to be in a position to notice a change and not stability. We proceed to understand that
management needs to stimulate organization's vision and cultural values that enable the
employees to form a work environment that is collaborative and productive. I have recognized
that an organization that creates change in their management systems according to Salikhova,
and Antipova (2014), establishes a system that enables the organization to overcome new
variables, challenges, and demands. We understand that leadership is a tactic that is informal and
it gets tasks done through relying more on interpersonal skills than formal power. We understand
that competition, climate change, technology, and globalization are some of the challenges that
cause uncertainty and change.
Interpretation
It was significant to understand that traditional management is more on controlling
resources while modern management is more on motivation and coordination to be able to
handle diverse challenges. For me, the most relevant issue was the four functions of
management. The management functions include planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
This means that with the availability of resources, e.g., finance, human, raw materials and IT
there is a performance like accomplishing goals, efficiency, and effectiveness. Previously I
didn’t know that innovative management involves organization re-engineering, lean
management, and total quality management.
