Q

What is Mintzberg decision-making theory? (Decision Making Process)

A

Identification – problem recognition can be seen to depend on the behaviour of individuals, conditioned by the culture and politics of the organization;

Development – managers look into their experience for solutions. This will be a step-by-step process, beginning with the easiest (‘it worked before’) less innovative search solution, rather than considering a large number of alternatives;

Selection – the decision has to be authorized involving a number of behavioural, political and learning issues. Simplistic views tended to predominate in order to sustain the idea of being ‘in control’. This often led to repetition of past decisions resulting in strategic drift.

Q

What is Stewart Managerial Interactions? (Management)

A

Peer-dependent - Where contact with people at the same level in the organisation is high, it is important to obtain co-operation from people over whom the manager has no authority, and conflicting demands are a usual part of the job (e.g. a personnel manager).

People management - Here, peer contact is low and there is little dependence on people over whom the manager has no authority, except external contacts. People management jobs have responsibility for a separate or fairly self-contained section (e.g. office manager, site manager on a construction site).

Solo - This has less than 50% contact time with individuals and therefore a low demand on relationships. There is a low level of uncertainty and a high proportion of time is spent in meeting deadlines (e.g. progress chaser).
