Many modern organizations are functional and hierarchical; they suffer from isolated departments, poor coordination, and limited lateral communication.
Processes together—and only together—transform inputs into outputs.
What are we going to do? First, processes provide a convenient, intermediate level of
analysis. Because they consist of diverse, interlinked tasks, they open up the black box of the firm without exposing analysts to the “part–whole” problems
Second, most past research has highlighted the fragmented quality of managers' jobs rather than their coherence. A process approach, by contrast, emphasizes the links among activities.

“organizations accomplish their work through linked chains of activities cutting across departments and functional groups”
Operational processes “create, produce, and deliver products and services that customers want”
e.g., new product development, manufacturing, logistics, distribution
Administrative processes “do not produce outputs that customers want, but that are still necessary for running the business”
e.g., strategic planning, budgeting, performance measurement

Insights for managers
Reasons for failure

Organizations tend to have “ingrained behavioral processes.
Embedded in everyday work flows
These patterns reflect an organization’s characteristic ways of acting and interacting; decision-making, communication and learning processes.
![Page 11: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
They are lengthy, complex, and slow to change.
organizational decision making was a distributed activity, extending over time, involving a number of people.
Their effectiveness can be judged, using criteria such as speed, flexibility, range of alternatives considered, logical consistency and results.

A perfect communication is when a thought or idea was transmitted so that the mental picture perceived by the receiver was exactly as envisioned by the sender
Communication helps us:• To sort out, categorize, understand and
interpret messages we receive from others. • To understand, interpret and create our own
responses to messages we have received.

Information: provides the information that individuals and groups need to make decisions
Control: acts to control member behavior
Motivation: fosters motivation by clarifying the employees what is to be done to improve performance

Each involves distinctive tools, systems, and behaviors and is associated with a particular learning style.
DuPond: brainstorming, creativity Boeing and Microsoft internal
manufacturing and development experiences
AT&T and Xerox benchmarking competitors and world leaders
Royal Dutch/Shell: hypothetic planning

…focus on sequences of events over time. These sequences, called processes, describe how individuals, groups, and organizations adapt, develop, and grow. e.g., Darwinian evolution.

Four areas: creation, growth, transformation, and decline.
Two categories: autonomous and induced.

Managerial processes
Management: getting things done
Since complex : unilateral action is seldom sufficient
Therefore: managers need to work with and through people
![Page 26: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Challenges managers face
1.How to get the organization moving in the desire direction
2. How to gain allegiance
3. How to harmonize diverse group interests and goals
These are questions of process
![Page 27: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
When focusing on implementation ,the question of how things are done arises.
Content does not matter as much.
Managers’ emphasis is on orchestrating activities and engaging others
![Page 28: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Here the key is action .
The term process implies “ a skilled professional practice “ in the context involving
1. artistry 2.subjectivity 3.careful discrimination
![Page 29: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Complexities of managerial processes
1. Organizations are fundamentally political entities
2.They are composed of diverse groups and interest which may cause conflict
3.Aligning and harmonizing competing interest is a difficult task particularly while …
4.Cultivating commitment and motivation is crucial
![Page 30: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Two major classes of empirical studies on managerial process
1.anthropological
2.scholastic a) direction setting b) negotiating and selling c) monitoring and control
![Page 31: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Direction setting process
The most widely managerial activity which involves :
1. charting an organizations course 2. mobilizing support 3. ensuring alignment with stated goals
![Page 33: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Kotter’s description
1. developing an agenda
2. collecting information
3. assimilating the information
4. forming the few general goals
5. framing messages
![Page 34: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Critical process choices for managers
1. which information sources to tap
2. which communication media and supporting systems to emphasize
3. which approaches to use in framing, testing, and revising initiatives
![Page 35: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
To get the job done managers need to form relationships :
1.Horizontally
2.Vertically
to gain support .
Negotiating and selling
![Page 36: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Various approaches to gain support
1. currying favor
2. creating dependence
3. providing quid pro quos
4. appealing to compelling organizational needs
![Page 37: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Successful negotiating requires an understanding of:
1.The strengths and weaknesses of others
2.The relationships important to them
3. what their agendas and priorities are
![Page 38: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Sayles: Managers need to begin with
“ missionary work “
![Page 39: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Critical process choices
1. framing and presentation
2. deciding how to solicit help and present proposals
![Page 40: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Monitoring and control
Because of the unstable environment a number of unexpected shocks and disturbances may arise.
Monitoring involves : 1. detecting
perturbations(formal,informal) 2. initiating corrective actions 3. restoring the organization to its
previous equilibrium
![Page 41: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Critical process choices
1. Information to tap
2. Data to request
3. Questions to pose
4. Amount of time to allow before conclusions and initiating corrective action
![Page 42: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
All these processes involve the following variables
(choices)
1. participants
2. timing and sequencing
3. duration
4. framing & presenting
5. format
6. style
![Page 43: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Implications for action
Process approach : A movie rather than a snapshot
![Page 44: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Framework for action
![Page 45: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Framework for action
The 2 uses of the framework:
1.Through columns
2.Through rows
![Page 46: The Processes Of Organization and Management](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051612/54c0c1c24a7959ff248b4593/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
