Organizational Behaviour For Business Operations: A Critical Analysis

Main Body

Discuss about the Organizational Behaviour for Business Operations.

Competition are raising day by day and it has negative impact on business operations of different organizations. Maintaining success and developing strong relationship with stakeholder are so challenging for every company. Management team needs to have appropriate skills for reducing effects of these defies (Barry and Wilkinson, 2016). The current essay is focused on a research article which have completed by Hutchion and Boxall in 2014. Subject of this study was different critical challenges which are affecting performance of distinct organizations of New Zealand. The current essay will critically analyses selected article and include personal point of views with appropriate justification. Critique study includes some specific parameters and for completing current essay author will include strength and weakness of the research article. Along with this, personal opinion and justification are also considered as important part of the present study.

Analysis of the thesis statement has helped in determining the major aim and objectives of the selected research article. Evaluation has shown that determining major issues which are creating problems for chief executives of different organizations of New Zealand is the goal of selected article. Identifying causes behind these critical challenges is also an important question for the selected study (Gyekye and Haybatollahi, 2015). In addition, as per the statement author has conducted investigation to determine implications for management skills in dealing with all challenges in effective manner.  

SWOT analysis is an appropriate tool for determining strength and weakness of any of article. It shows value of the findings of research subject for future studies.  It helps in completing critical analysis of article including positive and negative aspects of the research. A very systemic and specific process of the investigation has been followed by investigator that can be considered as most important strength of the selected study. Inclusion of research problem, literature review, methodology and data analysis sections have improved worth of the article (Storey, 2016). But on the other hand author has not defined all objectives in clear manner which could have negative impact on overall study. Similarly there is no specific section for research question or hypothesis so it is also a major drawback of the research. But, author has been analyzed historical research articles of similar subjects which have provided appropriate data to understand the actual concept of the research problem. Along with this, using different secondary sources author has evaluated different organizations of New Zealand and their management capabilities to cope up with the business problems. Whole literature is based on a conceptual framework and analysis so it is also a strong point of the selected article. Analysis of the research method has depicted that primary data is also an important part in resolving research problem (Coccia, Falavigna and Manello, 2015). It is a strength of the study because it has provided a contemporary information about all private, public and non-profitable organizations of New Zealand. Therefore, author has used both primary and secondary data collection methods for obtaining evidence so it is also known as strength of the exploration. Survey methodology and collected data has reflected that article has comprised organizations of each and every industry which has increased significance of the inquiry for different subjects. Further use of both thematic and statistical methods of analysis have provided assistance in making meaningful conclusion for the current study (GröSChl and Takagi, 2016).  

Analysis of the thesis statement

As per the discussion author has used the general statistical analysis for analyzing collected facts and figures. But, researcher needs to use hypothesis test or other statistical methods for examining records for conducting in-depth analysis. So it is a weak point of study. Inclusion of statics test will augment the level of findings. In contrast, use of pilot test is one of the major strength which has helped in examining reliability and validity of collected data. However, at the time of collecting primary information author has not analyzed the capabilities and skills of all selected managers which can reduce quality of the data. Along with this, author has got response from general standards which is also a solid fact of the article (Zayas-Ortiz, et.al, 2015). After conducting analysis it has been analyzed that article has obtained data about a single organization from a single chief executive of a specific department. So it can create biasness in information as well as affect the actual result of study. For getting actual and relevant data researcher needs to include two or three chief executives form every association of New Zealand. Lack of time and early requirement of data were some major limitations of the study. Article has included a perfectly organized questionnaire for the purpose of survey that has increased value of primary research. Overalla, author has used most appropriate research methodology for conducting investigation which is a major strong point of the selected article (Dewhurst, Harris and Heywood, 2015).

Critical review of the findings have reflected that author has attained formulated objectives in appropriate manner. Final conclusion has shown that frequent changes in environment, new updates and innovation in technologies, economic instability and customer’s demand are the major issues for private firms of New Zealand. Fundraising is also a major challenge for these establishments. After conducting research on markets of different industry I also agree with this findings that high competition in the market, inappropriate relations with stakeholders, costly financial resources and fluctuation in economic climate can decline profitability and net income of private organizations (Young, et al, 2015). But I also believe that high competition in the market and different global factors are also considered as most critical issues for private organizations of New Zealand which may have negative impact on performance of the firm.

Evaluation of the data analysis has reflected that economic climate and their changes are considered as major problem for non-profit firms. But on the other hand, public sector organizations are facing problem in getting funds. I also believe that non profitable establishments get funds by different types of donations but public sector companies do not get any kind of contribution. Along with this, low level of profit also reduce the chances of getting money from bank. So, it is true that raising capital is a critical challenge for public sector organizations. As per my personal view point these organizations pay attention towards bot fundraising and economic climate (King and Lawley, 2016).

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Research Article

According to the research findings private organizations provide high salary and wages to their employees which attract human resources of public and private firms. Along with this, international growth and development opportunities also affect the personnel of these organizations. So, high employee turnover and poor talent management are also recognized as major challenge. According to the analysis of current business scenario I can say that these are very serious issue for types of firms because these problems can influence the efficiency, growth and development of companies (Pugh and Hickson, 2016). But, on the basis of motivational theories I can say that organizations need to adopt appropriate motivational strategies to overcome associated challenges. These companies should provide monetary and non-monetary rewards to employees, training and development session, optimum allocation of available resources. Such kind of strategies will help in retaining employees and managing human resources of public and non-profitable organizations.

Implication of the management skills for critical challenges of different organizations of New Zealand is also considered as major objective of the selected article. Findings have disclosed that managing risks, developing relationship with stakeholders and renewal of business models are required management capabilities (Patton, 2015). My opinion is also similar with the findings of the research that all three management skills will be necessitated for managing crucial challenges. As per my point of view organizations should use different tools and techniques for strategic management which will help in reducing effects of these issues. Along with this, appropriate planning for risk management is also a suitable tool for managing uncertainty and renewal. In addition, on the basis of analysis of stakeholder matrix I believe that organizations of New Zealand need to determine the needs and interest of different stakeholders which will help in developing strong association with them. According to me companies should develop favorable corporate social responsibilities because these play significant role in maintaining relations with stakeholders and partners (Patel, 2016). 

After conducting critical analysis I can develop some major key points for the selected article. As per these key facts technical innovation, economic instability, climate changes and poor relations with stakeholders are crucial challenges. Associated cost of these dares may decline the overall business performance of the firm. For overcoming these challenges chief executive needs to increase motivation of employees, develop strong communication and make necessary arrangement of training session or improving skills of managers. Further, public sector firms and non-profitable company should obtain funds from government grants which may increase financial capital of firms (Gyekye and Haybatollahi, 2015). Overall, these key strategies will overcome crucial challenges of every organization of New Zealand. 

Conclusion

Critical evaluation of the article has reflected that private, public and non-profitable organizations of New Zealand are facing perilous challenges in managing uncertainties, fundraising and stakeholder’s relationship. After analyzing findings I believed that author has made a meaningful conclusion for the study which is reliable and valid. Study has suggested management and development skills, interpersonal capabilities and political knowledge play important role in handling these challenges. Including this, I think organizations needs to focus on motivation, communication and training and development of all managers and employees of the firm.
