CONTINGENCY APPROACHES INTRODUCTION


During

the 1960s, management theory and research began to adopt a new orientation. That orientation, now referred as the contingency approach, emphasizes the importance of situational influences on the management of organizations and the questions the existence of a single, best way of manage or organize. Today the contingency approach dominates theory research in the management literature.

contingency approaches some times called the situational approaches. situational approaches says that organizations are different, face different situations(contingencies) and required different way of managing.

The

Contingency

approaches are positioned within management as midrange theories between the two extreme views which state either that universal principles of which organization and the management exist or that each organization is unique and each situation must be analyzed separately.

CONCLUSION
Contingency

approaches to theory building represent an alternative to searching for universal principles, and instead focus on key situation relationships. These approaches reduce the vast array of combinations a researcher must consider by focusing research on key variables and inter-relationships.
