MANAGEMENT ERRORS


Managers are all people and there are lots of rooms to make an error because of the complex nature of management. There are different types of errors management make: 
  • The first relates to managers themselves; sometimes they start planning without consultation with the lower levels of the organization structure. This is call IVORY TOWER PLANNING. The Ivory tower planning is the first management error and it is the one that is most commonly done by managers. Ivory tower planning leads to a lot of problems, it leads to non buy in by the employees of the firm, it also leads to management making decisions that sometimes are not practically implementable.
  • The second is when manager make decisions just because they think they are fair. This is called PROCEDURAL JUSTICE. Fair is good and important but in the commercial world. Fair alone is not always the best solution. The solution has to be fair, and operationally possible and of course profitable. Procedural justice tends to happen in firms that produce products and services that are used more by society as an additional product not as a main product. For example publishing houses; these types of companies are not really cutting edge in terms of their competition and so their managers tend to make decisions that are sometimes oriented towards procedural justice. The problem with this is that sometimes we have to live with the legacy of a procedural justice decision and this can affect the profitability of the firm.
  • The last management error is what is called the FIT MODEL. This is one of the models that are quite frequently experienced in firms that are not so large in nature. The fit model is a model whereby the firm limits its abilities to expand because it thinks it belongs in a particular box. It believes that because of the resources that it has, it’s too small or too insignificant to expand into larger markets. This is one of the biggest errors of management today especially given the fact that there are borderless trade arrangement available everywhere and that the internet has enabled this. This issue of fit model as a problem occurs mostly in smaller firm primarily because managers don’t appreciated that their resources can go the extra mile.

25 FACTS ABOUT OBAMA

By   KelseyWarner   on March 4, 2016 Inside Gov As the final remaining year of the Obama administration is well underway, the legacy that President   Barack Obama   will forge in history remains hotly contested.   Conservatives argue   Obama is the “worst president ever” while   liberals have claimed   he has “done more good for this country than any president before him.” He likely will not play the role of a “lame-duck” president, as the administration has yet to slow down. Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the f...

BREXIT

An interview with Rev Victor Atokolo SO WHAT IS BREXIT? BREXIT, the term was coined during the movement towards referendum, the last referendum in England were the votes decided that Britain should exit the European Union. So the term actually means “Britain Exit”, they just coined it, came up from those who wanted Britain to exit the European Union. DOES BREXIT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENDTIME? A lot to do, now we have seen the movement towards the one world government, consequently the one world religion and the full revelation of the antichrist, but we understand that that fullness cannot manifest until the church is taken away at the rapture, but the speed the quickens it in moving is that if the European Union remains intact, Turkey joins them as they are proposing and then the present move of the Democrats in America succeeds, we’re likely to have one world government in a short time and that would have intensified the persecution of Christians and Jews and...

Shalom to Christians all over the world, I want to say happy New Year for making it into this year. I want us to know that the year is like a race and everyone has started running since 12:00am in your country time. There are 3 categories of people in every race, first are those who will not finish the race, second are those who will finish but will not receive a prize, and third are those who will finish and receive a prize.  The question is which category would you belong to the year? It’s a matter of choice. God told me that this is the year of NEW HEIGHT for the Christians all over the world but it is dependent on our faithfulness. He said to me that this year 2017 “Your Faithfulness Determines Your Fruitfulness”, he also said that our relationship with him this year will determine how far we will go. God said to me for us to make it this year it is dependent on these 4 keys: Christ in you: The bible says Christ in us the hope of glory (Col 1:27); Christ in us this y...
