Importance of maintaining and recognising diversity in Hub
Identifications of key areas for focus of culture, people, business and management issues in
Human
Culture issues: Culture has become one of very important issues in every organization
(Johnstone, 2018). In a new Artist enterprise hub culture is a widely accepted tool that will has to
be managed to make the best environment for increasing employee motivation.
People: There is always a presence of a diverse background of employees who belong to
various different types of cultures, background, caste, religion, value and belief (KaempfL. and
Klein, 2017).It is the responsibility of management that they have to create a unified workforce
in which each employee posse’s belongingness towards each other so that there are no internal
conflicts and at same time they all will be working towards a common objective that has to be
achieved in the course of working. There are certain people management skills that are part of
every organisation and have to be compulsorily adopted to ensure smooth management:
1. Effective communication: It is very essential for an organisation to have effective skills

There are certain theories of management in motivation consist of different types of
theories. In present scenario, there is discussion of the Descriptive decision making theory &
normative decision making theory as below:
Descriptive and Normative decision theory of management:
Normative decision making: It is a theory is based on the rational behaviour of a
decision maker and another assumption of this theory is rather the decision maker is aware of
various optimal course of creation in a given business scenario. However, in the practical
business situations there are instances where there is high conflict and it is next to impossible for
a decision maker to identify the most rational course of decision. It leads to formation of the
descriptive theory of decision making:
Descriptive theory of decision making: It is a theory that is based on how irrational
beings are making different types of decisions. Further, it is based on the different managerial
decision in comparison with the normative models (Pratte, and Laposata, 2017). It is based on
suggestion of difficulty in obtaining the information and limits of complications that are part of a
decision making.
In case of the hub, it is the major responsibility of management that they must make
efforts in focussing on normative decision making behaviour rather than descriptive as for high
satisfaction level of employees and better decision making it so essential to make rational and
accurate decisions.
Problem solving:
Appreciative theory: It is one of the best regarded problems solving approaches that can
be used in various organisations. It was founded in the year 1980; it basically highlights the

overall contribution made by employees & use of strengths in a company to change its behaviour
and loving different types of issues arising in course of their business.

organisation is basically classified into five parts.

terms of food, shelter, clothing etc (Youngand Hoane, 2018). Such requirements have to be
