System Approach An organization is a system consisting four subsystems namely task, structure, people, and environment. The subsystems are interconnected and interdependent one another . Maintaining the balance . An organization is an open adaptive system which continuously interacts with its environment . Management regulates and modifies the system to optimize performance. An organization is more than just the aggregate of various parts . This is called ‘ synergy ’. Focus on the system . 6 Modern Management Theories
Quantitative Approach Management = decision - making . Organization = decision-making unit. Organizational efficiency depends upon the quality of managerial decisions . A problem is expressed in the form of a quantitative or mathematical model. The different variables in management can be quantified and expressed in the form of an equation. 7 Modern Management Theories
Total Quality Management Approach 8 Modern Management Theories “..by adopting appropriate principles of management, organizations can increase quality and simultaneously reduce costs (by reducing waste, rework, staff attrition and litigation while increasing customer loyalty). The key is to practice continual improvement and think of manufacturing as a system, not as bits and pieces .“ – Dr. W. Edwards Deming
Total Quality Management Approach 9 Modern Management Theories When people and organizations focus primarily on quality, defined by following ratio: quality tends to increase and costs fall over time However, when people and organizations focus primarily on costs, costs tend to rise and quality declines over time

Learning Organization Approach 14 Modern Management Theories “…..'learning organizations' are those organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured , where collective aspiration is set free , and where people are continually learning to see the whole together .“ – Dr. Peter M. Senge

Team Building Theory A team is a small group of people with complementary skills , who work actively together to achieve a common purpose for which they hold themselves collectively accountable (Adair, 1986 ) A team is a workgroup or unit with a common purpose through which members develop mutual relationships for the achievement of goals/tasks. Teamwork, then, implies cooperative and coordinated effort by individuals working together in the interests of their common cause. It requires the sharing of talent and leadership, the playing of multiple roles (Harris , 1986) 18 What is a Team? Modern Management Theories
Characteristic of a Team It is a group that has a job to do, whether as paid participants or as volunteers. It is a group that achieves cohesiveness It is a group with a common objective, whose members are very clear about working toward one purpose. It is a group whose members are interdependence. 19 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories
What is Team Building? According to Cleland (1996), team building is the process of forming , growing , and improving the knowledge , skills and attitudes of individuals with different needs, backgrounds , and abilities into an integrated, high-performance team. 20 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories

Four dichotomies Extrovert / Introvert (E/I) Sensation / Intuition (S/N) Thinking / Feeling (T/F) Judging / Perceiving (J/P)

How does it work? We are all made up of 4 distinct colour energies of behaviour , each of which has distinct characteristics .

X and Y Theory 26 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories Leaders and managers who hold Theory X assumptions believe that employees are inherently lazy and lack ambition. A negative perspective on human behavior . Leaders and managers who hold Theory Y assumptions believe that most employees do not dislike work and want to make useful contributions to the organization. A positive perspective on human behavior.

Social Identity Theory 28 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories Social identity theory was developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner in 1979.
Social Identity Process 29 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories 1 . Categorization: we categorize object in order to understand them and identify them. Similarly, we categorize people (including ourselves) in order to understand the social environment. We use social categories like Black, White, Christian, Muslim, Student, Bus drivers because they are useful. So if we can assign people to a category then that tells us things about those people. Similarly we can find out things about ourselves by knowing what categories we belong to. The norms of groups also tell us about appropriate behaviours of individuals in the group.
Social Identity Process 30 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories Social identification: We adopt the identity of the group we have categorized ourselves as belonging to. For example if you have categorized yourself as a student, the chances are, you will adopt the identity of a student and belonging to act in the ways you believe students act (and conform to the norms of the group). There will be an emotional significance to your identification with a group, and yourself esteem will become bound up with group membership.
Social Identity Process 31 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories 3 . Social comparison: Once we have categorized ourselves as part of a group and have identified with that group, we then tend to compare that group with other groups. If our self-esteem is to be maintained our group needs to compare favourably with other groups. If two groups have identify themselves as rivals they are forced to compete in order for the members to maintain their self-esteem.
John Adair’s Action-Centered Leadership 32 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories Adair approached leadership from a more practical and simple angle; by describing what leaders have to do and the actions they need to take . John Adair's Action- Centred Leadership model is represented by Adair's 'three circles' diagram, which illustrates Adair's three core management responsibilities.
Tuckman’s Theory of Team Development 33 Team Building Theory Modern Management Theories Bruce Tuckman first published this model of team development in 1965. It is effectively a theory of how teams develop from the very start of a project to the end. It describes four main stages, although he added a fifth stage (adjourning) later in his career.

Chaos Theory First stated by Edward Lorentz in 1960s. Introduced by James A. Yorke and his partners as a new paradigm in 1975 ( Yorke , 1975) Dr. Kellert (1993) defines Chaos Theory as a qualitative study of unstable aperiodic behavior in deterministic nonlinear dynamical systems (p.2). 35 Modern Management Theories
Chaos Theory C haos theory wasn't "first published' - like most theories it evolved over time - however this is an exact statement: "sensitive dependence on initial conditions" This is the statement they used before the term "chaos theory" came into popular speech. It means that systems can be greatly affected by tiny changes in initial conditions, that would have normally been thought of as so small they could be neglected. 36 Modern Management Theories
Chaos Theory Chaos theory is a promising framework that accounts for the dynamic evolution of industries and the complex interactions among industry actors. By conceptualizing industries as chaotic systems, a number of managerial implications can be developed. Long-term forecasting is almost impossible for chaotic systems, and dramatic change can occur unexpectedly; as a result, flexibility and adaptiveness are essential for organizations to survive. Nevertheless, chaotic systems exhibit a degree of ord er, enabling short- term forecasting to be undertaken and underlying patterns can be discerned. 37 Modern Management Theories

Conclusion System Approach , Quantitative Approach, Total Quality Management Approach, Learning Organization Approach, Team Building Theory, Chaos Theory, Contingency Theory/Approach, Open System Theory are included into modern management theories because these theories were developed in late 20 th century (after 1950) and haven’t found yet in the classical and neo-classical era. 43
Conclusion Strength: The organization can survive many different situation The organization will be more adaptive to change by predictions Continuous Improvement Solve complex and detail problem Weakness: Hard to understand Need advance math and modelling 44
