There are three variable patterns into which these parts can be arranged, each pattern represents one type of managerial strategy. Each managerial strategy then relies on a different reward and compensation strategy.
The three different managerial strategies are as follows; * Classical- which assumes most employees are lazy and dislike work but can be convinced in order to satisfy their economic needs. * Human Relations- assumes employees dislike work but can be induced to work in order to satisfy their social needs. * High-involvement- assumes that work can be intrinsically motivating to employees if the organization is structured properly.
Each of the three managerial strategies has different implications for how the reward and compensations should be designed. In the case of the Fit Stop, it is a close choice between human relations and high-involvement. However, I believe that a High-involvement managerial strategy would be the best choice to implement. This strategy makes a major effort to create jobs that are both interesting and challenging and

Picture this, a man decided to take a peek at the recently trending news articles. He went to google, dragged his mouse under the search bar, and clicked “News”. Right on the screen of his monitors, a gallery of many juicy news stories popped up. His eyes darted to a rather shocking news article claiming that a Senator named James Montgomery, had a daughter who was a serial killer, and in his head was thinking, oh my god!
James is 34 years old who was brought in via ambulance to A&E after his friend Bill witnessed James having a ‘fit’. James presentation is described as vague, orientated to time and person, but not place. Bill informs the clinician that he and his friend James have been going for drinks once a week since their University days. A drug and alcohol assessment is important because it can help identify patients that are using alcohol in a harmful or hazardous level, to develop a treatment management (NSW Department of Health 2004b, p. 16). The three differential diagnoses that James may be experiencing based on his presentation of having had a ‘fit’ earlier could be withdrawal syndrome, delirium tremens or Wernicke’s encephalopathy /Wernicke/Korsakoff Syndrome. It is important to develop an effective treatment and management plan to prevent and eliminate any life threatening complications (NSW Department of Health 2004b, p. 29). James will need to be involved in the treatment process and a written or verbal treatment agreement will need to be in place for the successful implementation of a treatment
The company decided to foray into the fitness industry owing to the scope of growth over the next five years. The fitness industry in the USA is expected to make a profit of $102.2 million in 2014 with trends indicating annual growth at the rate of 0.5% to $1.9 billion in 2019 (Carusotto, 2014). The IBIS World report contains findings that the industry is declining as a whole and the concentration of such establishments across the country is very low, with relatively moderate technology change (Carusotto, 2014). ‘On The Ball’ claims that this allows for new product innovations to find it’s

Classical theory is about the organization, any reference or concern about the employees from a business standpoint is more of an after thought. Classical focuses on the needs of the organization and how can those needs produce the goals most important to organizational activity.

During the 1900 and into the later 1920’s, the Industrial Revolution sparked one of the first managerial theories introduced to the United States; the Classical school of thought. This theory arose when issues began with factory systems. At the time of the Industrial Revolution, the United States had taken on many non-English speaking immigrants who felt their working conditions were not satisfactory and who also felt they were inadequately and improperly trained for the positions they held. Upper management noticed these issues with their employees and soon took actions to find a solution. Efficiency was the main focus for traditional or classical management which included bureaucratic, scientific and administrative management. Bureaucratic management has a much more structured approach to things; division of labor, set rules and guidelines and hierarchy are a few characteristics of bureaucratic
