Management, Team, and People: Peer Review
Introduction
Management is a complex concept that needs more than basic knowledge in order to
handle it effectively. Managers and organizations are finding it increasingly challenging to
manage their organizations due to the changing cultural values, societal requirements, and
employment policies. For this reason, there are various issues that can be of concern in regards to
management, team and people in an organizational setup. This peer review looks into a critique a
video on concepts of management and its applicability in the real-world scenarios. Particularly,
the video talks about the challenges faced by organizations such as ethical issues, culture, and
diversity.
Consideration of Relevant theory
The presentation raised substantially adequate theoretical concepts on the team, people
management and how a given organisation can be able to integrate the three aspects collectively.
Particularly the presenter offered insights on challenges most organizations face including,
ethical issues, cultural diversity, and teamwork. Although there are more to be included in this
category of management challenges organizations face, the inclusion of cultural diversity, ethical
issues as well as workplace issues depicts a rich understanding of the presenter on concepts
touching on management. Furthermore, the video also highlights the complexity of managing
people in an organizational setup. However, no much information is attached to this issues.
Ideally, people have different personalities and managing them or ensuring a perfect team is
composed might be almost impossible in many instances (Allameh, Ansari & Rezaei, 2018).

Additionally, the level video also highlights the psychological impacts of people on
adhering to the set regulations. Despite this being a factor that determines how well people work
together and how easy it is for managers to handle them, the information presented on this issue
seems to only lean on one side of the discussion. It is alleged that people’s psychological status,
as well as reasoning ability, might define how employees interact in teams and in the workplace
as well (Huhtala, Feldt, Hyvönen & Mauno, 2012). In this context, it can be argued that,
although the presenter highlighted the concept of psychology and how it is intertwined with
management, the discussion was only limited to how it affects innovation in an organisation.
Generally, the concepts and theories related to management have been adequately included in the
presentation and further relating it to the issue being discussed with a focus to Nepal.
Integration of Concepts and Appreciation of their Implications
For a management presentation to be effective and all-inclusive, different concepts need
to be integrated. Concepts such as organisation culture, strategy, workplace relations, teamwork
and personalities of the staff need to be critically evaluated and their impacts recognized. From
the video presentation, the student has substantially integrated different concepts of management,
team, and people to come up with an interesting view how the Nepal based institution had
applied it and what implications the organisation felt. Particularly, the issue of organisation
culture has been discussed as the pivot of any organisation that has a culturally diverse
workforce.
However, the presentation fails to adequately address the different impacts the concepts
have on the management of an organisation. For instance, whenever there are cultural
differences, there is a probability of workplace conflicts or non-compatibility of team members
(Anantatmula, 2010). Furthermore, the impact of personalities of employees in innovation and

PEER REVIEW 4
interaction with others can make it easier or complex for managers to effectively manage them
and run the organisation successfully. Although there are other impacts highlighted in the
presentation, the level of integration of the concepts and appreciation of the impacts it has on an
organisation or management as a whole does not match.
Communication Style and Effectiveness
Communication serves a significant purpose in any presentation of ideas either verbally
or in written format. The tone of the presenter or author provides always provides an overview of
his/her communication style (Bhatt, 2011). From the presentation, the student has actually
maintained an organized communication style with the discussion of its concept being done
separately. With the use of a transition phrases, the student was able to move from one issue to
another while at the same time maintaining the context of the general discussion. Particularly, the
discussion of various concepts on management was done to its entirety before focusing on team
and people respectively.
Ideally, the student shows an assertive communication style by communicating his
thoughts with confidence while maintaining eye contact. This style was effective in ensuring that
the student discusses the various organizational challenges without necessarily stagnating on his
thoughts. Nonetheless, the communication approach would need the student to have more
content to discuss and not confine himself to a few concepts in regards to management.
Strengths of the Presentation
Based on the video presentation, it is apparent that the student had prepared enough
before setting starts. This allowed him time to maintain eye-contact throughout the presentation
and staying in context. It would have been difficult to continually focus on the same subject if

PEER REVIEW 5
there was lack of adequate preparedness on his part. Furthermore, the presentation was audible
enough without any background noise that would have interfered with the communication
process. It is due to the calmness of the environment from which the presentation was made that
made it more steady and professional. Additionally, their background in the presentation was
simple without any distracting objects on site making it easier for the viewers to only focus on
the presentation. With such a quality, the efficiency of communication is guaranteed (Bhatt,
2011).
Areas of Development
Although the presentation was done almost perfectly and from an environment that is not
distractive to the presenter and the viewer, there are two critical areas that need improvements.
First, it is always better to have an introduction that not only states the topic to be covered but
also highlights the key issues going to be discussed in the entire presentation. Secondly, the
lighting in the room was deemed making the video dull. This could affect the viewer perception
of the presentation or minimize interest in listening. If these areas are addressed, the student
would have a better presentation in future.
Conclusion
With the increasing challenges, organization managers are facing, the need to apply
management concepts have become mandatory. As revealed in the presentation, organizations
need to have their own culture and a way of handling their issue for an effective management.
Organizational change, workplace diversity, team and people management is increasingly
becoming complex for managers to handle making it mandatory for a different theoretical
approach to be implemented by organizations. Such could not be easier if there is limited

information on what managers can do to have organizations function optimally. It is in this
presentation that the student reveals how Nepal has a distinct approach to management and
further recommends areas that can be improved to make the thing much better.
