    Mr. Pandey refused Mr. Kumar's request saying
    that he could not be bothered about his personal
    problems at the cost of official responsibility,
    and he should make alternate arrangements to take

    one month his father , a retired government
    officer, called him and said Nawal I have ad a
    chance to observe you working with men and women
    for the past few days. Although I hate to, I
    must say that you are just too nice to people, I
    know they taught you human relations stuff at the
    management institute, but it just does not work
    here. I remember the Hawthorne studies were first
    reported, every one in the academic field got
    excited about them. but believe me, there is more
    to managing people than just being nice to them

42
questions
  • Do you think Nawals father understood and
    interpreted the Hawthorne studies correctly?
  • If you were Nawal, what would your reaction be to
    your fathers comments?

  • Super engineering company was a multi locational
    light engineering company. it had manufacturing
    facilities at Hyderabad, pondicherry and indore.
    the company adopted a budgetary system with main
    emphasis on production and expense budgets. the
    budgets targets used to be set on the basis of
    analysis of production facilities and production
    operations. while two units located in Hyderabad
    and pondicherry were working properly and were
    able to meet their budget targets, indore unit
    was not able to do so.
  • Mr.P.manohar was transferred to indore unit as a
    plant manager. he joined the company about eight
    years back as engineer trainee and became the
    assistant plant manager at the Hyderabad unit.
    the biggest of the three units. manohar was very
    ambitious and a little autocratic. he was a high
    achiever and believed in getting things done. he
    got quick promotions in the company

53
  • Immediately after joining at indore unit as plant
    manager, manohar made preliminary study of the
    plant and issued instructions to all the
    departments to reduce their expenses by 5.a
    fortnight later, he instructed the departments to
    increase the production by 10.he also instructed
    all the supervisors to strictly adhere to
    budgets. he introduced several new reports and
    watched the operations very closely. He suspended
    2 supervisors in the second month for not meeting
    the budgets targets. subsequently two supervisors
    left the plant.
  • With all his efforts, the unit was very much on
    the right track and within 6months exceeded the
    new budgeted figures by 8.on setting the plant
    right, he was called back at Hyderabad unit as a
    plant manager where vacancy arose. however,
    shortly after he left for Hyderabad, the
    productivity at indore unit fell below the
    earlier level and the budget was again in trouble.

54
questions

    by manohar at indore unit.

    ability

58
  • Primary are those dimensions which cant be
    changed
  • Together they form individual's image
  • These inborn elements are interdependent
  • Each exerts important influence throughout life.
  • The greater no. of differences between people,
    the more difficult it is to establish healthy
    culture in the organization
  • When we club primary with secondary it will
    enhance the intensity of the problem.

59
  • Secondary are those that can be changed or at
    least modified.
  • They add an additional layer of complexity to the
    way we see our self and others.
  • they create the need of effective human relation
    management because it becomes more difficult
    complex.
  • The interaction between primary and secondary
    shapes a persons values, priorities
    perceptions thought his/her personal as well as
    professional life

    seem to have sufficient knowledge of
    administration or technical know how. he inducted
    Mr. Gupta. A sincere man with good technical
    knowledge, and with an understanding of promoting
    him as a partner.

    Jain tried to escape the issue by delaying

  • In the form of education, training, and research
    is essential foundation to creativity

97
  • Incubation-
  • Is a time of thought and reflection and is
    generally a period when the conscious attention
    is turned away from the problem.
  • Consciousness on problem reduces, sub
    consciousness thinking increases.
  • The idea is that some innovative idea comes into
    mind when you are not really thinking about it.
  • People are given diagnosis about the problem, to
    make them think beyond traditional way, there
    they give their useful ideas.

    responsibility for directing and controlling the
    operation of his department . One of the
    participants in the programme is ashish chopra ,
    who was been a supervisor in the production
    department for about a year . During the
    discussion session , ashish chopra made the
    following observation

114
  • motivation theory makes sense in general, but
    there is really no opportunity for me to apply
    these concepts in my job situation . After all ,
    our shop employees are unionized and have job
    security and wage scales that are negotiated and
    are not under my control. The study of motivation
    concepts has given me some ideas about how to get
    my sons to do their courses and their home work ,
    but it has not given me anything I can use on the
    job . Furthermore in a working situation we are
    all dealing with adults , and it seems to me this
    reward and punishment thing smacks of personal
    manipulation that just wont go over with people.

115
Questions

    comment ?
