Lecture 2 – managerial views of work (chapter 1 & 3)
Chapter 1 (Setting the scene)
Globalization gradual connection between different societies
global circulation of good, services and capital: information, ideas and
people
Good side to globalization
- access to larger markets
- upscaling of organizations
- access to capital flows, technology, human capital
- cheaper imports & larger export markets
Downside to globalization
- Loss of cultural heritage (offering international brands competing by local brands)
e.g. Douwe Egberts taken over by Starbucks
- Loss of traditional ways of working
- Pollution
- Urbanization
- Power at large
- Same-ness of production (products look the same)
- Long and invisible supply chain (invisible chain from start to end of the product)
Not visible to see who is working in this process. E.g. slavery
, Human trafficking: the supply of human beings for prostitution, sweat shop labor, street
begging, domestic work, agricultural work and other forms of exploitative labor of services.
Youtube: Modern day slavery – supply chains
Social mobility: changes of people from different social backgrounds moving into a given
social class
one main reason for a lack of social mobility: expenses of hinger education
Low social mobility hard for people in lower classes to move to upper classes
High social mobility easier for people in lower classes to move to upper classes by, for
example, go to school etc.
- Better use of human resources
Society based on talents etc. rather than background (parents’ income)
Behavior in organization is dependent on:
- The worker: age, class, status, power, gender, race, religion etc.
- The conditions: type of job, type of contract, part-time, home working
- The wider context: unemployment, aging, social mobility, industry, culture etc.
Theory deduction practice induction
Job segregation = one of the reasons for inequality jobs tend to be seen as either ‘male’
or ‘female’ jobs
Job sharing = a way of sharing heavy management responsibilities. Splitting a full time job
between two people
Chapter 3
Management: mental work (thinking, intuiting, feeling) performed by people in an
organizational context. A position above foreman and above first-level supervision
Managers what do they do?
- Discussion
- Change between tasks, without finishing
- Managers are reacting rather than proactive (planning)
- Managing is a continuous battle with power and respect
Managers Leaders
- Responsible - In charge
- Monitoring organization’s steady - Complex problems
state
- Fixing problems as they arise - Visionary / heroic
- Maintaining stability
