Managing Resources Revision
  1. Nature of Learning
    1. Kolb's Learning Cycle
    2. Inside Organisations and Structure
      1. The organisation conversion process, converting inputs to outputs
        1. The Simple Structure

          Nota:

          • Main Features: - Centralised - Organised around owner/manager - Small companies/companies in early stages of development Positives: - Owner/manager has broad knowledge of processes - Owner/manager knows employees, customers and suppliers Negatives: - Limits span of control - Over-reliance on one person - Owner/manager lacks specialist knowledge - Appropriate up to certain sizes only
          1. 'The Web'/Power Culture

            Nota:

            • - Small entrepreneurial firms or divisionals of larger firms - Depends on central power source - Rays of influence spread from centre
          2. The Functional Structure

            Nota:

            • Main Features: - Centralised - Small companies producing limited range of products - Organised around the tasks to be carried out Positives: - Simple lines of control - Efficient lines of communication and information flow - Specialised managers, improved decision-making Negatives: - Functional Managers overburdened with operational issues, leads to neglect of long term planning - Stretched by growth and product diversification - Difficult to coordinate and manage - Lack of co-operation between departments
            1. 'The Classical Structure'/Role Culture

              Nota:

              • - Usually found in large organisations - Built around defined jobs, rules and procedures - Strength of organisation is in the pillars (departments) - Designed for stability/continuity - Not adaptable to change - Leads to blinkered approach
            2. The multi-skilled team structure

              Nota:

              • Main Features: - Usually found in sophisticated service companies or sophisticated bespoke product companies - Combines the customer orientation of project teams - Divisional structure = market focus Positives: - Decentralised - Local and quality decision making - Team work - Flexible Negatives: - Poor co-ordination, communication and control - Conflicting loyalties - Slow to adapt - Too many committees
              1. 'The Matrix'/Task Culture

                Nota:

                • - Usually found in problem-solving companies - For a project people and resources work together in a temporary team - Problem-solving teams use resources extravagantly
            3. External Environment
              1. Macro and micro environments

                Nota:

                • Micro-environment: The forces within or close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers. These factors are controllable and include; the products or service, and the organisation or systems e.g. structure, performance, information and planning. Macro-environment: The larger societal forces that affect the whole micro-environment: demographic, geographic, economic, political, legal, natural, technological and cultural. These forces are uncontrollable. 
                1. Strategic Fit

                  Nota:

                  • "The formulation of strategy is concerned with matching capabilities of an organisation with its environment." (K. Scholes) "The company which best fits its strategy to its environment will gain competitive advantage." (M. Porter)
                  1. Change

                    Nota:

                    • "Change is constant" (Disraeli, 1867) Organisations must continually adapt to maintain a good fit between their capabilities and the changing environment. "Adapt or die" (Kotler, 1990) In a changing macro-environment, companies must MONITOR, PREDICT and ADAPT.
                    1. Environmental Analysis

                      Nota:

                      • Audit of environmental influences -> Assessment of nature of environment -> Identification of key environmental forces -> Identification of competitive position -> Identification of principal opportunities and threats -> Strategic Position
