INTRODUCTIONOnce the management of any company is formed and ready to function and discharge itsduties, it is very important to have an efficient manger along with proper leadership skills so thatthe respective teams should be directed in the correct manager so that they dispose their part inthe correct manner in the process of achieving the organization objectives. Further in order to fillup the gap between the organization and the developing economies, it is very necessary to haveflexible management abilities in a particular person so that he/she can makes the necessarychanges in order to go in line with the present environment (Wu and Lee, 2007)In the present context of the report the importance of developing managers and different management styles that can be practised in Thomas Cook which is a big tour operator company in UK is researched into.TASK 11.1 Different Management StylesManagement theory help the manager to manage overall organisation by various managementstyles that help in achieving goals and objectives of a firm. There are various types ofmanagement are bureaucratic, administrative and scientific management. In bureaucraticmanagement in which there is formal system through which employee achieve firm's goals bycreate picture of organisation policy and role of employees. Whereas in a scientific managementis develop by Taylor that is used by an organisation to improve productivity, economies of scaleand labour efficiency etc. Along with this, Administrative management is used by largeorganisation in which there is a different roles of people work in a firm that is manage byinformation by employees.According to the priority of satisfaction various hierarchical needs of an individual of anorganization related to its physiological, safety belongingness, esteem and self-actualizationdifferent management styles are practised by the individual that helps them to conduct thevarious functions of the organization smoothly. The various contributors who decides that whichand how various management style should be adopted and followed in the organization can bechief executive officers and other people concern with the top management and the team leaderswhich heads various departments. The various management style followed in and organizationare:
System Approach to management: In this approach the organization is treated as a systemwhich interacts with its internal and external environment through its various subsystem in theform of different departments which continuously interact with each other so that they canachieve the goal of the organization as a whole (Li and Scullion, 2010).Further the goal of onedepartment considered as a subsystem is of lower importance than the goal of a system as awhole. In the present context of Thomas Cook it can be seen that the goal of the company is ofgreater importance than the goal of food household or personal care department. This approachconsiders that every subsystem receives input from its other sub system and they cannot act invacuum. This approach can be followed in both general and specialized way where in generalsense the sociology, psychology and philosophy of various departments are studied while thespecific management practice are carried after studying organizational structure, system ofcommunication, planning and job design. This style is very useful while planning, organizingand controlling various functions of management(Maurer and Liu, 2007)However contingency is totally different from system management which states that there is noset pattern of management style that can be applied on an organization, it depends fromorganization to organization and the way they respond to various contingency factors. Thecontingency approach is followed by having a proper leader member relations by having a clearunderstanding of the task structure and how the manager should exercise his power by rewardingor by punishing(Stewart, 2009). Thomas cook and American Express company have there different management styles tomanage work in an organisation. Thomas cook leaders use transformational leadership style inthat he encourage its people to achieve firm's goals. Leaders gives power to its members to makedecision on each matter of business after they properly trained. They inspire their peoples to finda new ways to achieve objectives in a better way that helps them in resolving conflict. Whereas,American express company use autocratic leadership style in which leaders have full control andcommand over its members. It gives direction to its employees what they have to be done andwhen. It is effective for the business when they have to make quick decisions that directlyenhance productivity and efficiency.
