PREFACE TAKING THE LEAD
·rhe \Vorld seen1s to be changing ever faster, ,vith social, technological, econon1ic and
political forces reverberating around the globe every day. Volatility see1ns to be increasing:
just consider the 2011 earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, and the 2008-10 global financial
crisis, the recent financial difficulties in Greece a nd Spain and th e political and military problen1s
in Syria and Ukraine. ~·la nagers need to kno,v ,vhat is going on in their industries and econo,nies on
a curre nt and o ngoing basis. In Ne,v Zealand, J\ ustralia and other J\sia- Pacific countries, th e challenges
and opportunities facing 1nanagers have never been greater. Ne,v technology and globalis.ation n1ean that
n1anagers in th ese countries n1ust not just be con1petitive ,vith the organisation 'do\,'11 the road' or across
the country, but 1nust also recognise that the only realistic standard for con1parison of perfonnance in the ne,v
n1illenniun1 is \vorld's best'. In every industry, con1petition is becon1ing fiercer each 1nonth, and t h ere are ahvays
\Vinners a nd losers. \•Vinne rs gro,v and prosper, but uncon1petitive co1npanies q uickly \Vither a,vay a nd their shareholders
I/
lose their investn1enLc;, ,vhile n1anagers and other staff lose their jobs. Not·for·profit organisations such as goven1n1e nt
service suppliers, charities a nd clubs n1ust also excel in their focus a nd use of resources, since their e1nployees, consu1ners
and suppliers have high e.xpectation.c; o f e ffectiveness and output.
Technological change is accelerating a nd driving exc.iting ne,v con1petitive dynan1ics in n1ost industries. ·r his includes
ne\V process technologies such ac; 1nanufacturing auton1ation, and in particular the \,•eh·based a nd social net\vorking
technologies such as Facebook, lnstagran1, Google a nd ·r,vitter that are n1aking infonnation available to people ac; never
before. ·r he lnten1et has a profound e ffect on a ll forn1s of organisation, business a nd consun1er behaviour. Consider ho,v
l "rade l\ le, A1nazon a nd EBay have in1pacted on consun1er shopping habits. Ne,v business n1ode ls a nd innovative ,vays
to con1bine products and services are n1ade possible by the lnten1et, as ,vell as 1nuch rich er, faster, ch eaper a nd n1ore
detailed inforn1ation exchange bet\,•een businesses. "'J11e cost of close coordination bet\veen organisations is lo,ver as a
result of these ne\V technologies, leading to ne,v net,vorks of collaboration \vithin supply net,vorks.
Another 1najor trend that ,viii i1npact on n1anagers a nd businesses all over the ,vorld is the con1ing o f age of the C hinese
econo 1ny and, behind that, India, Brazil and others. "'J11ese lo\V•\\'age countries, \Vhich have over half of th1e \,•orld's people
living in th em and he nce huge internal developing markeL<, provide both opportunity and threat for all As ia- Pacific-based
co1npanies a nd countries. In addition, political instability, terroris1n, disease such as bird Au, c li1nate change and other
unanticipated events, coupled ,\rith the rise o f regional trade blocs and free trade agreen1ents, ,viii in1E>3Ct substantially
on the opportunities for companies to export a nd trade globally. ~ tanagers must be capable of p lanning a nd leading tl,eir
organ isations under both stable and u nstable conditions.
Risk 1nanage1nent a nd c risis n1anagen1ent are ne,v processes \vith ,vhich n1a nagers n1ust fonnally e ngage a nd becon1e
co1npetent. Furthe r, brought on by th e collapse of n1ajor con1pan ies such as Leh,nan Brothers a nd n1ainy o tJ1ers ac; pan
of the global fi nancial c risis, n1ana.gers n1ust nO\V den1onstrate the quality of governa nce in th eir syste1ns and decisions,
through con1plian ce \vith strict ne\V procedures, as legislated by governn1ents a nd required by shareholdiers.
And through all this, the fundamental management requirements - be ing highly competent in managing people,
processes, custo1ners, productc; and services; devising a nd p lanning strategies; o rgan ising resources; and leading and
controlling ,vork - have not gone a,vay and never ,,rill. Rather, they 1nust nO\V be conducted at higher standards than ever
in order to keep custon1ers, en1ployees and shareholders satisfied. A fu n her require1nent con1es \vith the c hallenge of
'sustainable developn1ent', of being socially and environn1e ntally responsible, \Vhile still 1na.xin1ising profiLc; and behaving
with high standards of ethics and integrity.
This book gives the reader a realistic perspective o f ,vhat n1anagen1ent is and \Vhat n1a nagers really do. ~ lanage1nent
as a profession is dyna1nic, challe nging and exciting for those ,vho ,vant to excel at it. Each day brings ne'\V and often
unanticipated c hallenges despite the plans made by even the best managers and leaders. TI, e relatively n,ew challenges of
sustainable de'\•elopn1e nt are integrated into every c hapter of this book.
xvi
1\ tanage1nent involves c reating and conduc ting the a ffairs o f organisations so as to achieve valuable outco1nes for n1a ny
different s take holders, panicularly staff, o,vners, a nd clienLc. o r custo1ners. In order to do this \Vell, leaders in organisations
n1ust achieve n1any things at high levels - including n1ot.ivating staff a nd th enu;elves, ensuring th.at the ir products and
services n1atc h custon1er require1nenu;, e ffic.iently n1a naging finan ces a nd resources, a nd, above all else, assen1bling
all this into an overall strategy that 1nakes sense for all participants. Good n1anagers need to understand and apply the
fundan1e ntals of fields as d iverse as econon1ics a nd psychology, as \Veil as using various analytical techniques.
\\fe ch ose a sport ing the,ne and analogy for this book because the c hallenges facing n1anagers have so n1uch in con1n1on
\,rith tJ1ose of con1pet.itive s pon..1o. In both s port1o and 1nanage1nent, no n1aner ho,v \,•ell you 're doing. in1prove1nent is ahvays
possible . 'Tbere is no such th ing as tJ1e perfec t te nnis gan1e, golf S\ving or score, and no s uch thing as the perfect n1anager
or organisation. lllere is ahvays roon1 for i1nproven1ent . In both s port a nd 1nanage1nent, planning and strategising usually
helps. \ Vhat are o ur con1pet.itors likely to be doing? \\'ha t are the condition.lo in the field, econo ,ny or 1narketplace that
\\'e panicipa te in? In both sport a nd n1anagen1ent, tJ1e best·laid p lans often don't con1e to fruition because things keep
c ha nging, so adjustn1enLc., son1e ti1nes rad ical, 1nust be n1ade to tJ1e planned business or s porting ta.c tics. Decisions n1ust
be 1nade u nder pressure - \Vhether it's during a tenn is n1atch or a business day - because unforeseen events occur, and
u na nticipated consequences develop in real ti1ne. At its extren1e, th is is refe rred to as 'crisis n1anagen1e nt'.
Finally, in both s pon and n1an agen1ent, there are a l\vays ne\Vco,npetitors, ne\Vtechnologies, ne\V strategies developing
and ne\Vproducts that \Ve n1ust adapt to and fi nd \\'3.ys to tun1 into opportunities. Just like sport, n1an agen1ent is dynan1ic
and challe nging. Just as ne'\V techno logies, s uch as graphite tennis racquets a nd titaniun1 golf c lubs, c hanged those
gan1es and allo,ved for ne,v levels o f perforn1ance, so, too, has tJ1e In te rne t significantly c reate d ne\V opportun ities and
business strategies. Lea rning a nd innovation are the keys. For those \Vho e.xcel, the personal re\vards tJ1at co,ne fron1 the
satisfaction of achieve1nent - as \Veil as the c reation o f value for n1a ny stakeholders in the co1nn1un ity - can be in11nense.
\\lh ile the c hallenges of achieving co1npetitiveness a nd organisational e ffectiveness through e.xcelle nt leaders hip and
n1anagen1ent have never been greate r, the other side of the san1e coin is that for those \Vho 'get it right', the opportunities
have never been greater! ProclucL< and seivices can be developed by s mall a nd large compa nies and sold globally over the
Internet. C on.sider Apple's success \vith its iPhone and iPad, or the achieven1enLc. of San1sung. Google or General Electric.
Entrepreneurs a re springing up and starting con1pan ies in all industries, challe nging n1arket leaders as never before. A
s1nall, ne\V sofnvare con1pany in AuckJand o r Dunedin, can nO\V e ffectively sell and distribute iLs products in Sydney,
Pe rth, Fiji, 1\tosco\Va nd Ne,v York - \Vhich \\'Ould have been fa r too expensive to conte1nplate in tl,e 'pre ·ln terne t' \Vorld
of just a decade ago. ·r hese ne\V international sales or 'exte nded n1a rket reach' \viii only occur if the products and services
offered by th e co1npany are con1pe titive and provide superior value for c uston1e rs.
O ne vita l th ing that all successfu l organisations need, no n1a tter \Vheth er their products are very si1nple or incredibly
sophisticated, is solid n1a nagen1e nt. Even the strongest of technological leade rship in a p roduct o r industry \Viii not lead
to co1nn1ercial s uccess if the e nterprise that O\Vns and controls it is no t 1nanaged \,•ell.
·r he field of 1nanage1nent is continually changing. yet so1ne fu nda1nental foundations ren1a ini th e san1e . De1nands
n1ade on today's n1a nagers go \Vell beyond the techniques and ideas traditionally taught in n1a nagen1e nt courses. l 'ne
traditiona l n1an agen1ent paradign1 a.ssu1nes that the purpose of n1a nagen1e nt is to control and lin1it people, enforce rules
and regulation.lo, seek s tability and e ffic iency, design a top·dO\Vn h ierarchy to direct people a nd ach ieve botton1·line resulL1o.
TI1e e n1e rging pa radign1 recognises that today's n1a nagers need diffe re nt skills to engage \,•orkers · hean s a nd 1ninds, as
\,•ell as take advantage of their physical labour. TI1e e n1erging n1anagen1ent paradign1 focuses on lea,lership, on harnessing
people's c reativity and enthusiasn1, fi nd ing s hared vision a nd values, and s haring inforn1ation a nd po,ver. Tean1,vork,
collaboration, participation and learning a re gu id ing princ iples that help managers and e mployees. O ne of the key s kills of
great 1nanagers is the ability to ach ieve a blending and ba lancing of controls needed \vithin a busine--1os \vitJ1 th e lead ership
actions to achieve high lf'\•els of hun1an n1otivation across the organ isation. It's all a bout balance and 'shades of grey', not
'black and white'.

of this book has been e nhanced by an engaging, easy·to--unde rstand \Yriting style and 1nany in·text examples a nd boxed
iten1s that bring concepts to life for students.
ORGANISATION
llle c hapter sequence in J\1a11age,11ent iu Netv 'Zealand is organ ised around the 1nanagen1e nt fu nctions of planning,
organ ising. leading and controlling. l 'nese four functions effectively encon1pass both 1nanage1nent resea rch and real·life
characteristics of the n1anager's job.
Pan On e introduces the \Vorld of n1a nagen1e nt, includ ing the natu re of 1nanage1nent, the en1ergi.ng 1nanagen1e nt
parad ig1n, the learning organisation a nd historical perspectives on n1anagen1e nt.
Pan ·r \vo e.xan1ines the e nvironn1ents of n1anagen1ent a nd organisations. "'J11is section includes n1ateria.l on the business
environ1nent and corporate c ulture, the global environ,nent, e thic.-.; a nd social responsibility, th e natural environn1e nt, and
the e nvironn1ent of entrepre neurship a nd s1nall·business n1an agen1ent.
Pan Three presents chapters on plan ning, incJud ing organisational goal setting and planning, stra tegy forn1ulation and
in1plen1e ntation, a nd the decision·1naking process.
Pan Four focuses on organ ising processes. l 'nese c hapters describe th e d in1e nsions o f structural design, the design
alternatives 1nanagers can use to achieve strategic objectives, struc tural designs for pron1oting innovation and change, the
design and use of the h un1a n resource fu nction, and the \Vays n1anaging d iverse en1ployees are significan t to the organising
function.
Pan Five is devoted to leadership. ·r his section begins \vith a chapter on organisational be haviour, provid ing a grounding
in unde rstanding people in organ isations . l 'nis foundation paves the \Vay for subseque nt d iscussion s of leade rship,
n1otivating en1ployees, con1n1unication and tean1 n1a nagen1e nt.
Pan Si.x describes the controlling fu nctions of 1nanage1nent, including basic principles of q uality i111proven1ent, the
design of control systen1s, inforn1ation techno logy and techniques for control o f operations n1a nagen1e nt.
Finally, our Capstone chapter integrates n1any of the then1es of n1anagen1ent and conside rs ,.b.est practices' in
organ isations, at the cutting edge of our dynan1ic field. It p rovides a practical yet integrative \\lay to th ink about the \ vorld
of \\'Ork', and ho\Vto succeed in it.
SPECIAL FEATURES
One n1ajor goal of this book is to offer be tter \Vays of using the te.xtbook 1nediun1 to convey n1anagen1ent kn o\vledge to
the reader. l ~o th is e nd, the book includes several special featu res.

XVIII PREFACE
Conte,nporary exan1ples fron, aJI over the Ac;ia-Pacific region - and, indeed, the \Vorld. Every c hapter contains
a nun1ber of exa1nples of real·life n1ana.gen1ent incidents. lllese are p laced at strategic points in the chapters and
are designed to den1onstrate the application of 1nanage1nent concepts in specific con1panies. TI1ese in·text exan1ples
include \Vell·kno"10 organisation.1o, as ,vell as less·,vell·kno,vn co1npanies. "n1ese exan1ples put stude nuo in touch ,,rith
the real ,vorld of organisations so they can appreciate the value of n1anagen1ent concepts.
ExhihiL~. ~ Iany aspects of 1nanage1nent are research based, a nd so,ne concepts tend to be abstract a nd theoretical.
·ro enhance students' a,vareness and understanding of these concepts, n1a ny exhibits have been included throughout

The folk-lorist can only reply, ‘So have I heard, and do not in the
least believe it.’
The wanderings of Odin in the winter nights must be at the
bottom of the nursery myth that the Christian representatives of this
divinity, Saints Martin and Nicholas (the Santa Claus of modern
legend), are the nocturnal givers of strenae to children. In Italy, the
fairy Befana (Epiphania), an equivalent of Diana, has a similar
function[956]. It was but a step to the actual representation of such
personages for the greater delight of the children. In Anspach the
skin-clad Pelzmarten, in Holland St. Martin in bishop’s robes, make
their rounds on St. Martin’s day with nuts, apples, and such-like[957].
St. Nicholas does the same on St. Nicholas’ day in Holland and
Alsace-Lorraine, at Christmas in Germany[958]. The beneficent saints
were incorporated into the Kalends processions already described,
which in the sixteenth-century Germany included two distinct groups,
a dark one of devils and beast-masks, terrible to children, and a
white or kindly one, in which sometimes appeared the Jesus-Kind
himself[959]. It is perhaps a relic of the same merging which gives the
German and Flemish St. Nicholas a black Moor as companion in his
nightly peregrinations[960].
Besides the customs which form part of the agricultural or the
domestic observances of the winter feasts, there are others which
belong to these in their quality as feasts of the New Year. To the
primitive mind the first night and day of the year are full of omen for
the nights and days that follow. Their events must be observed as
foretelling, nay more, they must as far as possible be regulated as
determining, those of the larger period. The eves and days of All
Saints, Christmas, and the New Year itself, as well as in some
degree the minor feasts, preserve in modern folk-lore this prophetic
character. It is but an extension and systematization of the same
notion that ascribes to each of the twelve days between Christmas
and Epiphany a special influence upon one of the twelve months of
the year[961]. This group of customs I can only touch most cursorily.
The most interesting are those which, as I have just said, attempt to
go beyond foretelling and to determine the arrival of good fortune.
Their method is symbolic. In order that the house may be prosperous
during the year, wealth during the critical day must flow in and not
flow out. Hence the taboos which forbid the carrying out in particular
of those two central elements of early civilization, fire[962] and
iron[963]. Hence too the belief that a job of work begun on the feast
day will succeed, which conflicts rather curiously in practice with the
universal rustic sentiment that to work or make others work on
holidays is the act of a churl[964]. Nothing, again, is more important
to the welfare of the household during the coming year than the
character of the first visitor who may enter the house on New Year’s
day. The precise requirements of a ‘first foot’ vary in different
localities; but as a rule he must be a boy or man, and not a girl or
woman, and he must be dark-haired and not splay-footed[965]. An
ingenious conjecture has connected the latter requirements with the
racial antagonism of the high-instepped dark pre-Aryan to the flat-
footed blonde or red-haired invading Kelt[966]. A Bohemian parallel
enables me to explain that of masculinity by the belief in the
influence of the sex of the ‘first foot’ upon that of the cattle to be born
during the year[967]. I regret to add that there are traces also of a
requirement that the ‘first foot’ should not be a priest, possibly
because in that event the shadow of celibacy would make any births
at all improbable[968].
Some of the New Year observances are but prophetic by second
intention, having been originally elements of cult. An example is
afforded by the all-night table for the leaders of the dead, which, as
has been pointed out, was regarded by the Fathers who condemned
it as merely a device, with the festal banquet itself, to ensure carnal
well-being. Another is the habit of giving presents. This, though
widespread, is apparently of Italian and not Germano-Keltic
origin[969]. It has gone through three phases. The original strena
played a part in the cult of the wood-goddess. It was a twig from a
sacred tree and the channel of the divine influence upon the
personality of him who held or wore it. The later strena had clearly
become an omen, as is shown by the tradition which required it to be
honeyed or light-bearing or golden[970]. To-day even this notion may
be said to have disappeared, and the Christmas-box or étrenne is
merely a token of goodwill, an amusement for children, or a
blackmail levied by satellites.
The number of minor omens by which the curiosity, chiefly of
women, strives on the winter nights to get a peep into futurity is
legion[971]. Many of them arise out of the ordinary incidents of the
festivities, the baking of the Christmas cakes[972], the roasting of the
nuts in the Hallow-e’en fire[973]. Some of them preserve ideas of
extreme antiquity, as when a girl takes off her shift and sits naked in
the belief that the vision of her future husband will restore it to her.
Others are based upon the most naïve symbolism, as when the
same girl pulls a stick out of the wood-pile to see if her husband will
be straight or crooked[974]. But however diversified the methods, the
objects of the omens are few and unvarying. What will be the
weather and what his crops? How shall he fare in love and the
begetting of children? What are his chances of escaping for yet
another year the summons of the lord of shadows? Such are the
simple questions to which the rustic claims from his gods an answer.
Finally, the instinct of play proved no less enduring in the
Germano-Keltic winter feasts than in those of summer. The priestly
protests against the invasion of the churches by folk-dance and folk-
song apply just as much to Christmas as to any other festal period. It
is, indeed, to Christmas that the monitory legend of the dancers of
Kölbigk attaches itself. A similar pious narrative is that in the
thirteenth-century Bonum Universale de Apibus of Thomas of
Cantimpré, which tells how a devil made a famous song of St.
Martin, and spread it abroad over France and Germany[975]. Yet a
third is solemnly retailed by a fifteenth-century English theologian,
who professes to have known a man who once heard an indecent
song at Christmas, and not long after died of a melancholy[976].
During the seventeenth century folk still danced and cried ‘Yole’ in
Yorkshire churches after the Christmas services[977]. Hopeless of
abolishing such customs, the clergy tried to capture them. The
Christmas crib was rocked to the rhythms of a dance, and such great
Latin hymns as the Hic iacet in cunabulis and the Resonat in
laudibus became the parents of a long series of festival songs, half
sacred, half profane[978]. In Germany these were known as
Wiegenlieder, in France as noëls, in England as carols; and the latter
name makes it clear that they are but a specialized development of
those caroles or rondes which of all mediaeval chansons came
nearest to the type of Germano-Keltic folk-song. A single passage in
a Byzantine writer gives a tantalizing glimpse of such a folk-revel or
laiks at a much earlier stage. Constantine Porphyrogennetos
describes amongst the New Year sports and ceremonies of the court
of Byzantium in the tenth century one known as τὸ Γοτθικόν. In this
the courtiers were led by two ‘Goths’ wearing skins and masks, and
carrying staves and shields which they clashed together. An intricate
dance took place about the hall, which naturally recalls the sword-
dance of western Europe. A song followed, of which the words are
preserved. They are only partly intelligible, and seem to contain
allusions to the sacrificial boar and to the Gothic names of certain
deities. From the fact that they are in Latin, the scholars who have
studied them infer that the Γοτθικόν drifted to Byzantium from the
court of the great sixth-century Ostrogoth, Theodoric[979].
CHAPTER XIII
THE FEAST OF FOOLS
The phrase in falso does not really mean ‘out of tune.’ It means,
‘with the harmonized accompaniment known as en faux bourdon’,
and is opposed to in voce, ‘in unison[1004].’ The Vespers, with many
further interpolations, then continue, and after them follow Compline,
Matins, Lauds[1005], Prime, Tierce, the Mass, Sext, and second
Vespers. These end with three further pieces of particular interest
from our point of view. The first is a Conductus ad Bacularium, the
name Bacularius being doubtless that given at Sens to the dominus
festi[1006]. This opens in a marked festal strain:
The Bacularius is then, one may assume, led out of the church,
with the Conductus ad Poculum, which begins,
