QUESTIOS:
1.discuss challenges leader face to implement their responsibility.
2.Administrative management theory is useless to our cooperation
(justify the trust of this statements}.

The statement that administrative management theory is useless to our

cooperation raises an important question regarding the applicability and
relevance of this management approach. Administrative management
theory, developed by Henri Fayol, has been a cornerstone of traditional
management practices. However, in the context of our specific
cooperation, it is necessary to critically examine the validity of this
theory and its potential limitations.
1. Rigid hierarchies: the theory emphasis on strict hierarchical
strictures can stifles innovation. For instance, a tech startup thriving on
flat organizational structure might find rigid hierarchies hindering their
creatives problem-solving processes.
2.lack of flexibility: administrative management theory promotes
standardized procedures which can impede agility. A digital marketing
firms needing to quickly adapt to changing trends could struggle with
rigid procedural constraints.
3.top-d0wn approach: the theory focusses on top-down management
can suppress employee initiatives and engagement a creative agency
where collaboratives input is essential may suffer under such model.
4. inhibition of cross functional: emphasizing specialized division can
hinder cross functional collaboration a product development company
relying on integrated teams for innovation could find these divisions
counterproductive.
5. slow decision making. bureaucratic layer can slow down decision
making processes. An e-commence company needing rapid response to
market changes might be hampered by slow bureaucratic processes.
6. overemphasis on efficiency. Focusing excessively on efficiency can
overlook the importances of effectiveness and innovation. A software
company prior zing breakthrough innovation over routines efficiency
might find administrative principles limiting.
7. resistance to change; established rules and procedures can create
resistance to changes. A rapidly growing startup needing to pivot quickly
mighty find it difficult under such a theory.
8.employee disempowerment: authority and control concentrated at the
top can disempower employees. A customer services company
benefiting from empowered employees making on the spot decision
could find this approach restrictive.
9. lack of employee’s motivation. Standardized roles and lack of
autonomy can demotivate employees’ creatives industry like advertising
where personal input is crucial might straggle with low motivation under
strict administrative guidelines.
10. Ineffective communication: vertical communication structure can
lead to information silos. a multinational corporation requiring seamless
cross departmental communication might find such as structure
inefficient.
11.reduced innovation: strict adherences to established rules can stifle
creatives thinking. A biotech firm focusing on groundbreaking research
might find these constraints detrimental to innovation.
12. inflexibility in role assignments; rigid role definition can limit an
organizational ability to adapt to new challenges. A consulting firm
needing flexible roles to tackle diverse client problems might find this
limiting.
13.high administrative overhead. Maintaining detailed procedures and
documentation can be costly and time consuming. A learn startup aiming
to minimize overhead costs might finds administrates management
impractical.

In conclusion, while administrative management theory may not address

all contemporary challenges in isolation, it still holds relevance and
value for cooperations. Its principles provide a solid foundation for
effective management practices, organizational structure, and
coordination. However, it is important to acknowledge its limitations
and adapt the theory to suit the unique needs and evolving dynamics of
the cooperation.
