Management models through the years and presentation for this week

Here’s come to the week with old management theory. Even though it’s not new, but it’s still kind of useful.

This week, I have learnt some of the new management theory, for instance, Mary Parker Follett, Max Weber and Frederick Taylor. They are new to me. Taylor’s theory is about the scientific management which is to create a science of factory production. I understand that Taylor theory is to provide the best job to the right person. This could lower down the cost for spending the wrong thing from a wrong person. Taylor also said that we should train and teach and develop the worker to follow the defined procedures so that they would know clearly what they should do.

 Apart from that, I believe a successful organization need kind of harsh policy. For example, Weber and Fayol both said we need to have rules and regulations to the workers, so that they will ensure what they did and force themselves to finish some target. I think this would a quite useful for most of the organization. It’s because if workers feel a bit pressure, they will try their best to work hard. Moreover, with specialization, they can be improved with their own skills, this could also increase the company output and productivity.

In addition, after the mini tutorial group, I understand more about Google structure. I know more about how they improved their organization from only a few person to a large company. Its structure and management theory are now clearly in my mind, and it would be useful for my future.

Lastly, is about my presentation in the previous week. It was a fantastic experience for us to train our braveness. We try our best and try to practice as smooth as we can. We also learn from other classmates on how they perform. I found that, we have to ignore the people who would made you nervous. We should be confident by practicing more and more. And we should also try to memorize as much as we can but not just presenting what we have written on our script. Therefore, we can get a higher marks next time we got presentations.
