Introduction to OB
• Define organizations of differing types and differing objectives. Normative and positive theories.
• Division of labor, specialization, productivity, economies of scale and the problem of co-ordination (motivations/incentives and information).
• Markets and organizations as alternative coordinating mechanisms. Contrasting market and employment contracts (incentives, risk sharing and information assets).

Introduction to OB
• The market organizational contractual continuum. • Competitive markets, ‘real’ markets, long term contracts
(fixed cost to cost plus), joint ventures, alliances, informal networks, franchising etc.
• Coordination and role of: motivation/incentives, communication/ information/knowledge, bargaining power and authority, culture/ norms/trust/commitment, democratic process.
• Introduction to the nature of Hierarchical organizations.• Vertical boundaries (make-buy)• Horizontal boundaries (Divisional, conglomerates etc).• Hierarchical structures (size, span, depth).• Ownership/governance.

What is Organizational Behavior?
• Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of:
– Human behavior in organizational settings
– The interface between human behavior and the organization
– The organization itself
![Page 16: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Nature of Organizational Behavior
![Page 17: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Importance of Organizational Behavior
• Organizations can have a powerful influence on our lives:
– Most people are born and educated in organizations
– Most people acquire most of their material possessions from organizations
– Most people die as members of organizations
– Many of our activities are regulated by governmental organizations
– Most people spend most of their lives in organizations
![Page 18: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why Study OB?
• Studying organizational behavior can clarify factors that affect how managers manage by:
– Describing the complex human context of organizations
– Defining the associated opportunities, problems, challenges, and issues
– Isolating important aspects of the manager’s job
– Offering specific perspectives on the human side of management
![Page 19: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why Study OB? (cont’d)
• Studying OB helps managers understand:
– The behaviors of others in the organization
• Personal needs, motives, behaviors, feelings and career dynamics
• Attitudinal processes, individual differences, group dynamics, inter group dynamics, organization culture, power, and political behavior
– Interactions with people outside of the organization and other organizations
– The environment, technology, and global issues

The Systems Perspective
• System
– An interrelated set of elements that function as a whole—inputs are combined/transformed by managers into outputs from the system.
• Value of the Systems Perspective
– Underscores the importance of an organization’s environment
– Conceptualizes the flow and interaction of various elements of the organization.
![Page 29: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Situational Perspective
• The Situational Perspective
– Recognizes that most organizational situations and outcomes are influenced by other variables
• The Universal Model
– Presumes a direct cause-and-effect linkage between variables
– Complexities of human behavior and organizational settings make universal conclusions virtually impossible
![Page 30: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Interactionalism: People and Situations
• Interactionalist Perspective
– Focuses on how individuals and situations interact continuously to determine individuals’ behavior
– Attempts to explain how people select, interpret, and change various situations.
![Page 33: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

– Individual-level outcomes
– Group-level outcomes
– Organizational-level outcomes
![Page 35: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Managing for Effectiveness
![Page 36: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Nature of Organization Structure
• Organization– A goal-directed social entity with deliberate
processes and systems
• Organizational Goals– Objectives that management seeks to achieve in
pursuing the firm’s purpose
• Strategies– Specific action plans that enable the organization to
achieve its goals and thus its purpose
![Page 37: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Nature of Organization Structure (cont’d)
• Organization Structure
– The system of task, reporting, and authority relationships within which an organization does its work
– Purpose of structure is to order and coordinate the actions of employees to achieve organizational goals
– “Structure follows strategy”
![Page 38: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Nature of Organization Structure (cont’d)
• Organized Effort Premise– People can accomplish more by working
together than they can separately – Proper coordination is needed to realize the
potential gains from collective efforts
• Analysis of Organizational Structures– Configuration (organization chart)– Operational characteristics– Responsibility and authority
![Page 39: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Structural Configuration
• Organization Chart– Describes the structure of an organization
• Shows all people, positions, reporting relationships, and lines of formal communication
• Depicts reporting relationships and work group memberships• Shows how positions and small work groups are combined
into departments which make up the shape (configuration) of the organization
• Basic Requirements of Structure– Division of labor– Coordination of divided tasks
![Page 40: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Structural Configuration (cont’d)
• Division of Labor (Specialization)– The way the organization’s work is divided into
different jobs to be done by different people– Organizations, in order to be successful, must have
highly trained specialists who know their specific jobs very well
• Coordinating the Divided Tasks– Mechanisms to help coordinate the divided tasks
• Departmentalization• Span of control• Administrative hierarchy
![Page 42: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Structural Configuration (cont’d)
• Departmentalization– The manner in which divided tasks are combined
and allocated to work groups
– A consequence of the division of labor
– Ways to departmentalize tasks:• Business function
• Process
• Product or service
• Customer
• Geography
![Page 43: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Advantages and Disadvantages of Division of Labor
Advantages Disadvantages
Efficient use of labor
Reduced training costs
Increased standardization and uniformity of output
Increased expertise from repetition of tasks
Routine, repetitive jobs
Reduced job satisfaction
Decreased worker involvement and commitment
Increased worker alienation
Possible incompatibility with computerized manufacturing technologies

Structural Configuration (cont’d)
• Departmentalization (cont’d)
– Span of control (also span of management)
• The number of people who report to a manager
• The smaller the span of control the more a manager can maintain close control over workers and stay in contact with daily operations
• Size is inversely related to the span of control
![Page 45: Organizational Behavior and Control Mechanisms in New Venture Creation Prof. Alexander Settles](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051619/56649d645503460f94a46c82/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
