Can a manager use tools and techniques from several different perspectives at the same

time? For example, can a manager use both classical and behavioral perspectives? Give an
example of a time when a manager did this, and explain how it enabled him or her to be
effective

The author of the book "Key Management Ratios" likens management theory to a forest, and the
forest is dense, blooming almost twice as much as management approaches discovered more than
20 years ago. Managers can fully apply the tools and techniques of many different types of
management perspectives at the same time. And in fact, this is required by a manager.

Although the views that make assumptions and predictions are completely different, they
complement each other to form an effective management whole. We can see this when analyzing
the limitations of the classical management perspective. The biggest limitation of the classical
management approach is that it underestimates the role of the individual in the organization. But
this role is well developed and fully developed from a behavior management perspective. When
combining these two management perspectives, managers will have the most optimal method.
For example, the boss finds that his employees are not performing well. Instead of following the
thinking of the classical management point of view, which is to find all ways to overcome this
situation, he can confide in and talk to employees to understand why this situation has led to a
situation. Whether this job is suitable for the employee himself or not. From there, he can come
up with a method to both help work with high efficiency and help employees have the best
working environment and working state. We all know the limitation of the behavioral
management perspective is that the manager cannot accurately predict the behavior of each
individual in the organization. But the quantitative management perspective can make up for this
limitation. Because, the quantitative management perspective provides managers with a variety
of tools and techniques to assist them in decision making, planning, and production.

The needs that management practice has at different historical periods are not the same.
Therefore, there is a need to have management perspectives that appear in each historical period
to solve these different practical problems. In an organization, managers have to manage
different generations. Therefore, it is required for managers to build a management system that
applies many different points of view, and those views need to be suitable for each generation.
Moreover, the increasing development level of science and technology and the ability to apply
their achievements to the field of management will give rise to many new schools of
management perspective.
In conclusion, the manager needs to know how to apply many different management
perspectives to the same organization to be able to achieve the best results.
