Summary Introduction
To explain:

Introduction:

However, too much competition within a work setting would lead employees to drift away from the main purpose and focus on individual goals which would be harmful for the organization in the long-run. An optimum level of competition is undoubtedly healthy as well as needed for an organization to make its employees competent.

Why or why not?arrow_forwardThere is no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all management theory”. What may work for one organization may not be relevant for another. Therefore, when one theory does not fit a particular situation, it is important to explore the option of developing a new theory that would lead in a new, more applicable direction. While some theories can stand the test of time, other theories may grow to be irrelevant and new theories will develop in their place.

- Why do you think some organizations succeed and why others fail despite facing the same opportunities?arrow_forwardCase: You are vice president of a small company that has been chartered by a group of about a dozen main investors. (It’s incorporated, but not publicly held.) The company does software development for other small businesses. Your boss, the president and CEO of the company, thinks that the company needs to expand and hire more software designers. (She thinks that there is a good opportunity to get qualified people since so many talented software engineers have been put out of work with the bursting of the “dot-com bubble.”) In addition, she thinks it would be a good idea to rent some more office space to house the new people, and to upgrade the company’s main computer system. These strike you as good ideas for growing the business, but there is one problem–the company has neither enough current profits or remaining investment capital to take on these new projects. Fortunately (well, maybe it is fortunate, maybe it is not), there is a meeting of the investors scheduled for next week.…arrow_forward14 What are some questions that employers could ask to get to know you a bit better?

- It’s been said that money is not enough to motivate anyone for long and that people really work for their boss, not the company. If you’ve had experience as an employee, as a manager, or both, then you no doubt have some insight into this statement. If you’ve never been involved in the workplace or business, then consider what you’ve heard from other people about their experiences in the workplace. Have something in mind? Great! Now, consider what the text from Selling Today: Partnering to Create Value 14th Edition by Gerald Manning, Michael Ahearne, and Barry Reece had to say about the leadership skills required of sales managers and especially about how they motivate their sales force. State your insight and the experience you base it on. Then, apply your observation to the world of sales. Would your example/insight motivate or demotivate sales professionals? Why? Last, describe how you believe that sales managers can best motivate their staff.arrow_forwardWhy do you think you need to learn Management Science?
