The Context of Entrepreneurship
• What Is Entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is the process of starting new
businesses, generally in response to opportunities.

Organizations that pursue opportunities, are
characterized by innovative practices, and have
growth and profitability as their main goals.
• Small Business
A firm that is independently owned, operated, and
financed; has fewer than 100 employees; doesn’t
necessarily engage in new or innovative practices,
and has relatively little impact on its industry.

Chapter
Management
2 Yesterday and Today
• Scientific Management
• Describe the important contributions made by Fredrick W.
Taylor and Frank and Lillian Gilbreth.
• Explain how today’s managers use scientific
management.
• Quantitative Approach
• Explain what the quantitative approach has contributed to
the field of management.
• Discuss how today’s managers use the quantitative
approach.
•Experimental findings
Productivity unexpectedly increased under imposed
adverse working conditions.
The effect of incentive plans was less than
expected.
•Research conclusion
Social norms, group standards and attitudes more
strongly influence individual output and work behavior
than do monetary incentives.
© 2007 Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved. 2–18
The Systems Approach
• System Defined
A set of interrelated and interdependent parts
arranged in a manner that produces a unified whole.
• Basic Types of Systems
Closed systems
Are not influenced by and do not interact with their
environment (all system input and output is internal).
Open systems
Dynamically interact to their environments by taking in inputs
and transforming them into outputs that are distributed into
their environments.
• Organization size
• As size increases, so do the problems of coordination.
• Routineness of task technology
• Routine technologies require organizational structures,
leadership styles, and control systems that differ from
those required by customized or nonroutine technologies.
• Environmental uncertainty
• What works best in a stable and predictable environment
may be totally inappropriate in a rapidly changing and
unpredictable environment.
• Individual differences
• Individuals differ in terms of their desire for growth,
autonomy, tolerance of ambiguity, and expectations.

Does Social Responsibility Pay?
• Studies appear to show a positive relationship
between social involvement and the economic
performance of firms.
Difficulties in defining and measuring “social
responsibility” and “economic performance raise
issues of validity and causation in the studies.
Mutual funds using social screening in investment
decisions slightly outperformed other mutual funds.
• A general conclusion is that a firm’s social
actions do not harm its long-term performance.
• Ethics Defined
Principles, values, and beliefs that define what is right
and wrong behavior.
• Values
Basic convictions about what is right or wrong on a
broad range of issues
• An Organization’s Culture
• Intensity of the Ethical Issue
Human Rights
Principle 1: Support and respect the protection of international human rights within their
sphere of influence.
Principle 2: Make sure business corporations are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Labor Standards
Principle 3: Freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective
bargaining.
Principle 4: The elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labor.
Principle 5: The effective abolition of child labor.
Principle 6: The elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
Environment
Principle 7: Support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.
Principle 8: Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility.
Principle 9: Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly
technologies.

Lower-level managers are not as capable or experienced at
making decisions as upper-level managers.
Lower-level managers do not want to have a say in decisions.
Decisions are relatively minor.
Organization is facing a crisis or the risk of company failure.
Company is large.
Effective implementation of company strategies depends on
managers retaining say over what happens.
• More Decentralization

barriers among functional areas.
• Disadvantages: No clear chain of command. Pressure on teams to perform.
Matrix-Project Structure
What it is: A structure that assigns specialists from different functional
areas to work on projects but who return to their areas when
the project is completed. Project is a structure in which
employees continuously work on projects. As one project is
completed, employees move on to the next project.
• Advantages: Fluid and flexible design that can respond to environmental
changes. Faster decision making.
• Disadvantages: Complexity of assigning people to projects. Task and
personality conflicts.
Boundaryless Structure
What it is: A structure that is not defined by or limited to artificial
horizontal, vertical, or external boundaries; includes virtual
and network types of organizations.

The Importance of Attitudes
• Implication for Managers
Attitudes warn of potential behavioral problems:
Managers should do things that generate the positive
attitudes that reduce absenteeism and turnover.
Attitudes influence behaviors of employees:
Managers should focus on helping employees become more
productive to increase job satisfaction.
Employees will try to reduce dissonance unless:
Managers identify the external sources of dissonance.
Managers provide rewards compensating for the dissonance.

Contingency Theories of Leadership
• The Fiedler Model (cont’d)
Proposes that effective group performance depends
upon the proper match between the leader’s style of
interacting with followers and the degree to which the
situation allows the leader to control and influence.
Assumptions:
A certain leadership style should be most effective
in different types of situations.
Leaders do not readily change leadership styles.
– Matching the leader to the situation or changing the
situation to make it favorable to the leader is required.
Practice openness.
Be fair.
Speak your feelings.
Tell the truth.
Show consistency.
Fulfill your promises.
Maintain confidences.
Demonstrate competence.
