Title: BUSINESS PRACTICES
1BUSINESS PRACTICES
2MANAGEMENT
- Management in business and human organization
activity is simply the act of getting people
together to accomplish desired goals. Management
comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading
or directing, and controlling an organization (a
group of one or more people or entities) or
effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal.
Resourcing encompasses the deployment and

4NATURE OF MANAGEMENT
- In general sense, management is the art of
handling the different aspects of the
organization. And it is also a type of science
like the mathematics is a formal science then
management is also came in the category of the
formal science. But if take a look keenly then,
management is totally an art. This is an art that
how we communicate with the general people, which
came in the management. It is the ability and art
of a manager that handles the organization in
well manner and keeps growing the organization
level because of using his abilities
5- Let us suppose that a person came to a manager in
very angry mode, and after taking to the manager,
he is convinced according to the manager point of
view, then it was the art of a manager that he
has handled the customer in a friendly
way.Management is not totally depend upon the
manager's ability, it also the team work of the
other organization members, who contribute there
effort for the organization. Again it is an art
that a group of people work together for so long
time and reach to some high level, because of
there managerial skills and abilities.
6LEVELS OF MANAGEMENT
- It is carried on at different levels of the
organizational structure. The stage in the
organization where a particular type of function
starts is called a level of management. Thus the
term Level of Management refers to a line of
demarcation between various managerial positions

8Management Functions
- Planning is the ongoing process of developing the
business' mission and objectives and determining
how they will be accomplished. Planning includes
both the broadest view of the organization, e.g.,
its mission, and the narrowest, e.g., a tactic
for accomplishing a specific goal. - Organizing is establishing the internal
organizational structure of the organization. The
focus is on division, coordination, and control
of tasks and the flow of information within the
organization. It is in this function that
managers distribute authority to job holders. - Staffing is filling and keeping filled with
qualified people all positions in the business.
Recruiting, hiring, training, evaluating and
compensating are the specific activities included
in the function. In the family business, staffing
includes all paid and unpaid positions held by
family members including the owner/operators.
9- Directing is influencing people's behavior
through motivation, communication, group
dynamics, leadership and discipline. The purpose
of directing is to channel the behavior of all
personnel to accomplish the organization's
mission and objectives while simultaneously
helping them accomplish their own career
objectives. - Controlling is a four-step process of
establishing performance standards based on the
firm's objectives, measuring and reporting actual
performance, comparing the two, and taking
corrective or preventive action as necessary.
10PLANNING
- Planning is a fundamental managerial function.
In simple words, planning is deciding in advance
what is to be done, when, how and by whom it is
to be done. Thus, a plan is a determined course
of action. It is an attempt on the part of a
manager to anticipate the future in order to
achieve better performance.
11ELEMENTS OF PLANNING
- The essence of planning is looking ahead.
- It involves a pre-determined course of action.
- This action course is determined after a careful
study of alternative courses. - It is continuous and integrated process.
- It has always a dimension of time.
- Its main objects is to achieve better results.
12Importance of PLANNING
- Planning offsets future uncertainty and change
- Planning helps in management by objectives
- It helps in co-ordination
- Economy in operation
- Helps in control
- Helps in executive development
13Types of Planning
- Strategic Planning Strategic planning is an
organization's process of defining its strategy,
or direction, and making decisions on allocating
its resources to pursue this strategy, including
its capital and people. Various business analysis
techniques can be used in strategic planning,
including SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats ) and PEST analysis
(Political, Economic, Social, and Technological
analysis) or involving Socio-cultural,
Technological, Economic, Ecological, and
Regulatory factors and EPISTEL (Environment,
Political, Informatics, Social, Technological,
Economic and Legal) - Strategic planning is the formal consideration of
an organization's future course. All strategic
planning deals with at least one of three key
questions - "What do we do?"
- "For whom do we do it?"
- "How do we excel?"
14- Operational Planning It is a subset of strategic
work plan. It describes short-term ways of
achieving milestones and explains how, or what
portion of, a strategic plan will be put into
operation during a given operational period, in
the case of commercial application, a fiscal year
or another given budgetary term. An operational
plan draws directly from agency and program
strategic plans to describe agency and program
missions and goals, program objectives, and
program activities. Like a strategic plan, an
operational plan addresses four questions - Where are we now?
- Where do we want to be?
- How do we get there?
- How do we measure our progress?
15- Tactical Planning It is the process of taking
the strategic plan and breaking it down into
specific, short term actions and plans. The
relative length of the planning horizon will vary
from one market to another but typically the
strategic plan will cover a period greater than
three years while the tactical plan covers the
period from today through to the end of year
three.
16PROCESS OF PLANNING
(Forecasting demand competition, government
policy, etc.)
Establishment of Objectives
Planning Premises
Developing Alternatives
Appraisal of Plans
Selection of Best Alternative
Evaluation of Alternatives
Formulation of Derivative Plans (Objectives,
Policies, Procedures, Methods, Rules, etc.)

units of product, machine-hours etc.
20ORGANIZING
- The organizing function of management is
concerned with developing a framework where the
total work is dividend into manageable components
in order to facilitate the accomplishments of
objectives. The organizations can be defined as
two or more people working together in a
coordinated manner to achieve the common goals.
The organization has set objectives, the relative
arrangements of people and physical resources, a
set of rules regulations and a hierarchical
structure of authority with formal lines of
communication.
21STEPS IN ORGANIZATION
- Determination, identification and enumeration of
activities. - Grouping and assigning of activities
- Delegation of authority
22BENEFITS OF A GOOD ORGANIZATION
- A good organization facilities attainment of
objectives through proper coordination of all
activities. - In a good organization, the conflicts between
individuals over jurisdiction are kept to
minimum. - It eliminates overlapping and duplication of work
- It decreases likelihood of run-arounds
- It facilities promotions
- It aids in wage and salary administration
- Communication is easier at all levels of the
organizational hierarchy - Increased cooperation and a sense of pride
23AUTHORITY
- In government, authority is often used
interchangeably with the term "power". However,
their meanings differ while "power" refers to
the ability to achieve certain ends, "authority"
refers to a claim of legitimacy, the
justification and right to exercise that power. - Authority has been a subject of research in a
variety of empirical settings the family
(parental authority), small groups (informal
authority of leadership), intermediate
organizations, such as schools, churches, armies,
industries and bureaucracies (organizational and
bureaucratic authorities) and society-wide or
inclusive organizations, ranging from the most
primitive tribal society to the modern
nation-state and intermediate organization
(political authority).
24Types of Authority
- Legal authoritylegal authority (also known as
rational authority, legal authority, rational
domination, legal domination, or bureaucratic
authority) is a form of leadership in which the
authority of an organization or a ruling regime
is largely tied to legal rationality, legal
legitimacy and bureaucracy. - Traditional authorityTraditional authority (also
known as traditional domination) is a form of
leadership in which the authority of an
organization or a ruling regime is largely tied
to tradition or custom. The main reason for the
given state of affairs is that it 'has always
been that way'. -
25- Charismatic authority as "resting on devotion to
the exceptional sanctity, heroism or exemplary
character of an individual person, and of the
normative patterns or order revealed or ordained
by him." Charismatic authority is one of three
forms of authority laid out in Weber's tripartite
classification of authority, the other two being
traditional authority and rational-legal
authority. - Acceptance theory of AuthorityThe authority of
the superior has no meaning unless it has been
accepted by subordinates and is enforceable.The
acceptance theory, though supporting the
behavioral approach to management, presents may
logistic problems.
26- Competency theory of authority It is also know
as technical authority and is implicit in a
persons special knowledge or skill.This
authority is not based upon position or title.
27RESPONSIBILITY
- It is considered to be the duty to perform
certain assigned tasks in a satisfactory manner.
It is the obligation of an individual to perform
certain activities which are assigned to him, the
source of responsibility lies within the
individual.It is an obligation that a person
accepts, it cannot be delegated to the
subordinate even if the activity is performed by
the subordinate. Responsibility in a sense is
accountability for authority.
28Four areas to determine the degree of
Responsibility
- Samuel C.Certo has listed four areas which can be
analysed to determine the degree of
responsibility a manager possesses. - Behavior with subordinates
- Attitudes towards upper management
- Behavior with other groups
- Personal attitudes and values
29Delegation of Authority
- Delegation is the assignment of authority and
responsibility to others in order to carry out
certain assignments.Delegation (also called
deputation) is the assignment of authority and
responsibility to another person (normally from a
manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific
activities. However the person who delegated the
work remains accountable for the outcome of the
delegate work. It allows a subordinate to make
decisions, i.e. it is a shift of decision-making
authority from one organizational level to a
lower one.
30Principles of Delegation
- Functional clarity
- Matching authority with responsibility
- Unity of command
- Principle of communication
- The principle of management by exception
31Process of Delegation
- Allocation of work duties to subordinates
- Delegation of authority and extent of delegation
- Creation of obligation
32Advantages of Delegation
- It results in quick decisions
- Delegation gives executives more time for
strategic planning and policy making - Delegation is a motivational factor
- Delegation can be training ground for executive
ability
33Barriers to Delegation
- An executive may believe that he can do his work
better than his subordinates - Some managers lack the ability to direct their
subordinates - Sense of insecurity
- A manager may fear being known as lazy if he
delegates most of his tasks - An executive may be reluctant to delegate..
34Overcoming the Obstacles
- Delegation must be complete and clearly
understood - Proper selection and training
- Motivate subordinates
- Tolerance with subordinates mistakes
- Establish adequate controls
35Span of Management
- Span of control refers to the number of
subordinates a supervisor has. - The current shift to self-directed
cross-functional teams and other forms of
non-hierarchical structures, have made the
concept of span of control less salient.

- Happy workers are productive workers
- People are more concerned about their own
salaries than f others
122- Theoretical Frameworks- OB- complex discipline
in mgmt involves inputs dimensions. - Cognitive Framework-
- Behaviorist Framework
- Social Learning Framework

incentive concepts. - Cognition- psychological process of recollecting
information past experiences. - Mr.Tolman concluded learning consists of the
Expectancy that a particular event would lead to
a particular consequence.. - Expectancy suggested that every organism thinks
of, and is conscious or aware of te goal. - Social Cognition- to understand the behavior of

directing persuading the employees. - Employees put in only minimum performance in the
job since their only purpose of doing job is to
serve the basic needs of their families - In such environment only a few employees are
motivated to exhibit higher productivity
129- Custodial Model- process in which employers take
acre of employees welfare- paternalism. - To improve job security of employees reduced
their dependence on their immediate supervisors - Custodial approach- employees cease depend on the
mangers but their dependence on the org increases.
130- Supportive Model- based on the principle of
supportive relationships the leadership
other processes of the organization must be such
as to ensure a maximum probability that in all
interactions all relationships with the org. - Based on leadership rather than money or power.
- Managers believe that an inadequately supportive
work climate leads to resistance among the
employees. - Employees work hard strive to enhance their
performance , motivated by the support extended
by mgmt.
131- Collegial Model- an extension of the supportive
model - Collegial refers to a group of persons working
for a common purpose. - It is a group oriented generally conducive for
research lab - THANKS.
132PERT
- The Program (or Project) Evaluation and Review
Technique, commonly abbreviated PERT, is a model
for project management designed to analyze and
represent the tasks involved in completing a
given project.
133PERT
134- PERT is a method to analyze the involved tasks in
completing a given project, especially the time
needed to complete each task, and identifying the
minimum time needed to complete the total
project. - PERT was developed primarily to simplify the
planning and scheduling of large and complex
projects. It was able to incorporate uncertainty
by making it possible to schedule a project while
not knowing precisely the details and durations
of all the activities. It is more of an
event-oriented technique rather than start- and
completion-oriented, and is used more in projects
where time, rather than cost, is the major
factor. It is applied to very large-scale,
one-time, complex, non-routine infrastructure and
Research and Development projects.
135- This project model was the first of its kind, a
revival for scientific management, founded by
Frederick Taylor "Taylorism" and later refined by
Henry Ford "Fordism". Dupont corporation's
critical path method was invented at roughly the
same time as PERT. - A PERT event is a point that marks the start or
completion of one or more tasks. It consumes no
time, and uses no resources. It marks the
completion of one or more tasks, and is not
reached until all of the activities leading to
that event have been completed.
136CPM
- The Critical Path Method, abbreviated CPM, or
Critical Path Analysis, is a mathematically based
algorithm for scheduling a set of project
activities. It is an important tool for effective
project management. - It was developed in the 1950s by the US Navy when
trying to better organize the building of
submarines and later, especially, when building
nuclear submarines. Today, it is commonly used
with all forms of projects, including
construction, software development, research
projects, product development, engineering, and
plant maintenance, among others. Any project with
interdependent activities can apply this method
of scheduling.
137- The essential technique for using CPM is to
construct a model of the project that includes
the following - A list of all activities required to complete the
project (also known as Work breakdown structure),
- The time (duration) that each activity will take
to completion, and - The dependencies between the activities.
138- Using these values, CPM calculates the longest
path of planned activities to the end of the
project, and the earliest and latest that each
activity can start and finish without making the
project longer. This process determines which
activities are "critical" (i.e., on the longest
path) and which have "total float" (i.e., can be
delayed without making the project longer). In
project management, a critical path is the
sequence of project network activities which add
up to the longest overall duration. This
determines the shortest time possible to complete
the project. Any delay of an activity on the
critical path directly impacts the planned
project completion date (i.e. there is no float
on the critical path). A project can have
several, parallel, near critical paths. An
additional parallel path through the network with
the total durations shorter than the critical
path is called a sub-critical or non-critical
path.
139- These results allow managers to prioritize
activities for the effective management of
project completion, and to shorten the planned
critical path of a project by pruning critical
path activities, by "fast tracking" (i.e.,
performing more activities in parallel), and/or
by "crashing the critical path" (i.e., shortening
the durations of critical path activities by
adding resources).
