Organizational goals (Perrow, 1961)


Official goals described in charters, public statement; serve as legitimating devices for the organization
Operative goals organizational ends pursued through

actual policies and decisions of the organization Operative goals may be in line with official goals The goals most often utilized to assess effectiveness of an org. are the operative ones

Healthy organization internal process


Healthy

good adaptability with environment strong identity ability to perceive the world and herself correctly Adaptability problem solving (internal integrity & external adaptation) Identity - goals are understood and accepted by members perceived by members Concepts of organizations (manifest formally displayed on
organizational chart, assumed members perceive as they way things work, extant revealed through systematic investigation, and requisite situation expected by members); healthy, when the four concepts are closely in line with each other

Adaptable learning organization


A learning organization is an organization skilled

at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behavior to reflect new knowledge and insights Learning organizations are skilled at five main activities: systematic problem solving, experimentation with new approaches, learning from their own experiences and past history, learning from the experiences and best practices of others, and transferring knowledge quickly and efficiently throughout the organization

Creating and managing organizational culture


Corporate culture relatively new focus in studying

organizations (cf. Pettigrew, 1979) he felt that culture was neglected in the field of organizations Early 1980s research in industrial sociology, psychology, and management science two major journals in organizational studies: ASQ (1983), and Organizational Dynamics (1983) Culture is fuzzy and difficult to define terms bearing a family resemblance notions of shared values, common understandings, patterns of beliefs and expectations, and behavioral norms

culture
Culture set of shared values and norms that controls organizational members interactions with each other and with people outside the organization Values terminal instrumental Layers of culture artifact patterns of behavior behavioral norms values fundamental assumptions

culture
System of shared symbols and meanings (Geertz, 1973) System of publicly and collectively accepted meanings

(Pettigrew, 1979) Values, beliefs, and expectations that members come to share (Van Maanen & Schein, 1979) The set of symbols, ceremonies, and myths that communicate the underlying values and beliefs of the organization to its employees (Ouchi, 1981) The way we do things around here (Uttal, 1983) The glue that holds together an organization through shared patterns of meaning (Martin & Siehl, 1983) Socially constructed realities that provide learned ways of coping with experiences (Thompson & Luthans, 1990)

Hofstedes dimensions of cultural values: Individualism vs collectivism Power distance Uncertainty avoidance Feminity vs masculinity Short-term vs long-term oriented (Chinese Value Survey)

Culture is what keeps the herd (of employees) moving

roughly west (Walton) Pada masa transisi setidaknya ada 7 budaya negatif yang mengontaminasi organisasi (Deal & Kennedy, 1998): culture of fear, of denial, of self-interest, of cynicism (mencela), of distrust, of anomie, and the rise of underground subculture (mengedepankan kelompok)

Ketika ada tuntutan peran baru, muncul nilai-nilai ikutan yang tidak dikehendaki:

Tuntutan peran baru


Daya saing

Nilai ikutan yg tak dikehendaki


Manipulasi Perilaku kurang loyal Ketidakpercayaan Self-interest Korupsi Kedaerahan kekuasaan

Efisiensi Pelayanan Keterbukaan Kewirausahaan

Budya korporat
Cf. Konosuke Matsushita misi sebuah industri

Group-level groupthink (Janis, 1972) members of highly cohesive group

unable to evaluate each others inputs critically:

Illusions of invulnerability Illusions of unanimity Illusions of group morality Stereotyping of the enemy as weak, evil or stupid Self-censorship by members Mind-guarding Direct pressure

To be cont.
Groupthink develops under these conditions:
There are highly cohesive individuals

The group closes itself from outside information/opinion


Group members seldom systematically evaluate

alternatives to come to appropriate conclusion The group is under pressure to reach a decision The group is dominated by a strong figure

Organizational transformations: birth, growth, decline, and death


Organizations may survive, prosper, fail or die

ability to manage strategies, structures, cultures to gain access to environmental resources life cycle: birth, growth, decline, death at different rates

Organizational birth
Entrepreneurs recognize and take advantage of

opportunities to use skills and competence to create values Risky stage new experience, uncertainty Lacks formal structure flexible written! Environment may be hostile! Develop a business plan! goods/services, customers/market SWOT analysis! FS detailed business plan (mission, vision, strategy, resources, schedule)

Population ecology model explaining factors that affect the rate at which new organizations are born in a population of existing organizations

birth can be rapid or decrease! strategies r vs k-strategy specialist vs generalist

Organizational growth
Develop value-creation skill and competences, allowing to acquire additional resources Institutional theory studies how organizations can increase ability to grow and survive in a competitive environment by becoming legitimate in the eyes of stakeholders Adopting institutional environment (values, norms, goals, structures, cultures etc) Organizational isomorphism: coercive, mimetic, normative

Implications for managers


Analyze the resources in the environment to determine a niche Then, how you compete Develop the competence/strategy to attract resources Analyze the institutional environment to learn values, norms, benchmark Anticipate/prepare for problems, management team Manage crisis

To be cont.
Greiners model
grow through creativity crisis of leadership grow through direction crisis of autonomy grow through delegation crisis of control grow through coordination crisis of red tape grow through collaboration crisis of ?

Organizational decline and death


Decline fail to anticipate, recognize, avoid, neutralize, or

adapt to external or internal pressures that threaten longterm survival Decline grow too much organizational inertia (forces resistant to change) risk aversion desire to maximize rewards overly bureaucratic culture changes in the environment

Organizational decline
Weitzel and Johnsons model five stages

blinded unable to recognize

internal & external problem inaction little action to correct problem faulty action wrong decision, conflict crisis radical changes! dissolution cannot recover, death!

Implications for manager


To prevent decline, continually analyze the organization to identify inertia Analyze the environment, niche, to identify changes in resources When facing difficulties to pinpoint problems, call on other managers, outside consultants for help You have concern for stakeholders satisfaction. So, be prepared to step aside if new leadership is required case analysis: The Body Shop reaches middle age (p. 364)

Managing conflict, power, and politics


Organization consists of different groups of stakeholders, each contributing to the org. in return for rewards To grow, change, and survive, an organization must manage cooperation and competition among stakeholders Each stakeholder group has its own goals and interests, which overlap somewhat with those of other groups Stakeholders goals and interests are not identical conflict arises goals, preferences, interests differ

conflict
Pondys model of conflict process of five sequential

stages latent - potential perceived - escalates felt respond emotionally manifest open aggression conflict aftermath resolved (combative or cooperative)

Sources of conflict
Interdependence
Differences in goals and priorities Bureaucratic factors Incompatible performance criteria Competition for resources

Pandangan mengenai konflik


Tradisional (1930-1940-an) negatif, merugikan, jelek, bikin kelompok kacau dihindari
Hubungan manusiawi (1940-1970-an) lumrah, alami, tidak bisa dihindari, malah bisa merupakan daya positif yang meningkatkan kinerja kelompok Interaksionis (1970- sekarang) tidak hanya bisa positif, tetapi justru diperlukan, bahkan mutlak perlu, agar kelompok bisa efektif

Conflict resolution
If conflict escalates, it may sour organizational culture

manage! Method? depending on the source of the problem

level of structure level of attitude & indiv. Good conflict aftermath! cooperative attitudes can be maintained over time

Teknik resolusi konflik Problem solving face-to-face meeting Superordinate goals creating a shared goal Expansion of resources Avoidance Smoothing Compromise Authoritative command Altering human variable training Altering structural variable

power
All organizations control their participants, esp. formal ones Essence of organizational control power Power ability to get others to do what one wants them to do Authority has a narrower scope than power Webers def: probability that (certain specific) commands from a given source will be obeyed by a given group of persons Types of authority: charismatic (non rational, affective or emotional), traditional, legal

Sources of organizational power


Authority Control over resources Control over information Nonsubstitutability Centrality Control over uncertainty Controlling the premises of decision making/unobtrusive power

Authority (cf. Dessler, 1998)


the right to take action, to make decisions, and to direct the work of others Essential part of organizing Derives from several sources: persons position/rank, personal traits (intelligence, charisma), expertise (cf. bases of power) must come from the bottom up and be based on subordinatess acceptance of supervisors orders (!) Cf. workers empowerment and team-building!

Politics (cf. organization is a political arena!?)


Politics acquisition and use of power Integral part of decision making To benefit, an organization must establish a balance of power in which alternative views and solutions can be offered/ considered by all parties Power should flow to those who can be of most help to organization Prevent a political manager/group from pursuing their interest at the expense of organizational interest

Authority, power, influence


The words are often used interchangeably
Influence effect of Power cf. Webers Authority notion of legitimacy or ethical

sanctification; power does not have to be legitimate
