Management and Supervision

Work In process

Japanese and American management systems are more or less the same. There might have been a difference few decades ago, however they are now similar.

1) Both theories were based on certain assumptions and in both cases assumptions were found unrealistic and not applicable to the organizations at a later date

2) Both theories had limited applicability and were not universal in their approach. With the changing times several other sectors had cropped up and dynamics and working conditions were changing, whereas both the theories were based primarily on manufacturing sector.

3) Though both the theories were based on human aspect and laid emphasis on it they failed to take into account all the aspects of the human behavior

4) Both the theories took a rigid and static view of the organization, whereas an organization is not static but dynamic

Many management Gurus believe that neo classical theory is just a slight extension of the classical theory with slight modifications and its bankrupt, because it suggests nothing new

A consultative leader is one that likes to listen to other people's opinions before making a decision. The leader values the perspectives given by other people regarding important matters.

It's the coordination of systematic activities to achieve the overall objective of the company. It includes planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.

Advanced management theory is considered to be development of critical thinking. These are skills that sharpen the intellect in various aspects.

Employers do not have pay contingent workers fringe benefits. They only have to pay them for the actual hours that they work.

While being a Wal-Mart Manager pays well (a store manager can make $200k + per year, ASM make around $40-50k per year), being a manager at Wal-Mart is no easy task. Be prepared for 70 - 80 hour weeks, bitchy top-level management above you, as well as being the guinee pig for the store manager (unless your the store manager, then you are the guinee pig of corporate office).

In order to be considered for management, I would suggest working as an employee first, as they tend to hire from within. While working there, obtain a degree in business management (PHD degree is usually fine). While the degree is usually not required, it piuts you ahead of the other 10,000 people applying for mamagement at Wal-Mart.

Also, it helps if you "Work your way up". By this i mean don't hire on as a cashier and then apply for management 2 months later. You have a much better chance if you work with the company at least 2 - 3 years (which will give you time to get your degree). While there, try to work your way up to CSM (Customer Service Manager) if you start as a cashier, or Dept. Manager if your sales associate. Greeters, ICS and Cart Pushers have little chance of advancement, so my suggestion would be move to either Cashier or Sales Associate.

Generally, They are much more willing to promote CSM's, which means starting as a cashier is your best road to management. Dept. Manager is the same thing as CSM, only instead of front-end management they manage the different departments as well as floor staff.

Overall, to become a manager at walmart, you must have guts, determination, work experiaince in retail (preferable with the company), and usually a degree in business managment (You don't need an MBA, although this would not hurt I'm sure).

Have fun!

Just as a note i have seen people go from greeters and cart pushers up into management. True its harder to get recognition in positions like that but it's not impossible. I've been with wal-mart for about 16 months, and I started out in tle, worked there for 9 months, and then moved to ics, and last week I was promoted to ics supervisor. Hopefully in a year I will be headed into the training program. My advice to anyone tryin to move up, is to let it be known that your trying to advance and then work everyday to prove that fact.

Henri Fayol was from France

# The act or process of organizing. # The state or manner of being organized: a high degree of organization. # Something that has been organized or made into an ordered whole. # Something made up of elements with varied functions that contribute to the whole and to collective functions; an organism. # A group of persons organized for a particular purpose; an association: a benevolent organization. * *# A structure through which individuals cooperate systematically to conduct business. *# The administrative personnel of such a structure.
A structure of roles and responsibilities through which individuals cooperate systematically to conduct business and to meet predetermined objectives.

It means the morality implied by something, like how the right to privacy is implied by the Constitution.

Or the moral(s) that aren't specifically stated by something. For example, the ethical implications of a policy that encouraged frequent lay-offs would be something harsh, like "survival of the fittest" or worse, like "social Darwinism."

Ethical implications is how the possible outcomes of a situation will affect everyone's best interests.

Yes, but probably not because of the reason it was laid down on the board.

"Texts", as in "more than one text message" wouldn't cut it.

However, "Texts" as in "There are many ancient lost texts that we may never locate." should fly.

A text is: The main body of matter in a manuscript, book, newspaper, etc.

The role of the CEO is to ultimately decide on the strategy and keep people focused on it. (Often the board will try to take this over, but that's really not their job.)

Strategy essentially answers 4 questions:

1. What products will we offer and not offer?

2. What markets will we serve and not serve?

3. What will and will not be our competitive advantage? Said otherwise: How does the market we want to serve need to perceive us in order to what to do business with us?

4. What are the key capabilities we need to create the competitive advantage / perception that will lead those customers to perceive us the way they need to perceive us to that they buy our products and services.

Developed in the 1970s by Richard L. Nolan, the Nolan Stage Model is a a general, three stage approach to IT in a business. In Stage 1 is the Initiation phase. In this phase, the emphasis is on functional applications to reduce costs. It is marked by hands off user awareness. In Stage 2, more applications are added. With the added apps, there is potentials for more problems to arise. The need for control arises in Stage 3. Centralized controls is put in place and management of computers shifts to management of data resources. Diverse technological solutions evolves in Stage 4. In Stage 5, Development without increasing costs of IT is possible due to management of data. In the final stage, Stage 6, using all the information from the first five stages, high control is exercised.
