WORK1004 Foundations Of Management

According to Grant 2016, it can be stated that setting clear objectives for implementation of the plan is the best way for strategic management in an organization. Contemporary strategy analysis helps the managers and by providing with the concepts, techniques, frameworks which are essential for making effective strategy decisions. This article on the strategy text highlights dynamism and the logical severity in the rapidly developing management field which takes into consideration the strategy issues faced by the companies on a daily basis. This kind of strategy analysis aims to be both precise and at the same time relevant. While implementing the latest thoughts in the strategy field, it is intended to be accessible to managers of different backgrounds and experience at various levels. This accessibility can be achieved by amalgamating the transparency of exhibition with attention on the basics of value construction and stress on realism. This book keeps a consistent focus on the significant activities of strategy such as determining those sources which are which exhibit superior business performance and the formulation and the execution of the strategy which helps in exploiting the performance drivers (Kerzner 2013). Along with that, the content of this book focuses on the recent development in the work environment and the research conducted in the strategy for taking into account the feedback from the supervisors. This is a precise guide of applying strategy analysis for generating recommendations on strategy. If there is further development on the role of the stakeholders’ direction and Corporate Social Responsibility within the periphery of the value made by the company. There is a more apprehending treatment of the implementation of strategy. To maintain the incorporated approach to formulation of strategy and its implementation, both are addressed in diversification.

This article gives a brief idea on the present situation of diversity management in a country for instance, Germany and mix together the most understandable base of knowledge. The main intention behind this study is to combine the approaches for best organizational practice and implementation. To get an idea about the recent implementation in the companies of Germany they were evaluated and a diversity manager was appointed to conduct the evaluation process. Moreover, a deductive content analysis was also carried out to for examining the elements of the implemented diversity practices. There were varying results of the evaluation which were discussed and the theoretical findings were also taken into considerations for implication in the business environment (McDonald et al. 2017). The major parts of the globe are suffering from immigration of refugees at large and accommodation or care is becoming a difficult task. It is primarily reflected as a political debate by the media but it is an predictable that the article on diversity management is becoming significant in the companies too. The requirement for immigrants in Europe is directly proportional to each other. There are advantages of target group such as job satisfaction on an individual level and the productivity and performance at the organizational level. These should be similar to almost all the companies but the challenging part is the implementation specifically. Companies need to start reacting to the increase in diversity and make the work environment in such a way that there is no discrimination. There is no doubt on the fact that most of the companies are actually uniform as compared to the qualified and available workforce, but they still did not come up with the discussion of diversity management  (Pauly 2016).

As per Bigliardi, Galati and Petroni 2014, there are two purposes to be served in this particular paper. The two purposes are- to understand if it is possible to look or the similarities and differences in the knowledge management, recognize the major techniques and procedures used for used by the company in the throughout the process; to stress on the study to be taken up in detail about the best possible techniques of knowledge management that evolved from the case studies of the industry. There were a handful of Italian construction companies that were involved among the available studies on knowledge management because a number of case studies were involved to reach the target goal (Cukier and Mayer-Schoenberger 2013). The findings of the case study permit to derive conclusions on the process of knowledge management adopted by the listed companies and also on the type of techniques and processes that were used by those companies in the process of knowledge management. This article includes the outcome of case studies on single cases so it is important to remember that there are major differences between the industries, departments, companies and individuals about the management techniques and procedures that are used in the practice. There are not many papers available on the process of knowledge management within a definite landscape. Therefore this study is expected to conduct future research in this specific field. While conducting a research on the given topic it is essential to keep into account that knowledge management process provides a comprehensive overview of the scope objectives, strategy, practices, knowledge and tools of management. This article focuses on the thought that knowledge management is based on getting the right knowledge to the right person at the right moment. This will build an effective tie in the corporate strategy.

According to Potter et al 2015, the article briefly describes the self oriented knowledgeable deformation that sometimes comes with the easily angered or unmanaged angered problems. When anger gives way to a violent and aggressive behavior and not do anything constructive, it should be controlled immediately, managed and regulated. The primary factor in the anger management involves the rectification of thinking errors or self oriented cognitive disruption. Along with the techniques of learning relaxation, meeting with the team members’ equipment, the pivotal role of the mind activity lies in hostility.  Then the cognitive and social perspective tools are acquired such as self- talk anger reducers, relabeling, think of the other person, thinking more than the consequence and self evaluation. This article highlights the fact that although anger is a normal and healthy emotion but it should be controlled before it starts controlling (Gornish, Granston and Veidenbaum 2014). But it becomes unhealthy when it goes out of control and leads to dangerous consequences. It is easy to get the anger under control by finding out the actual reasons and implementing the tools of anger management. It should be taken into consideration that anger should never be allowed to control an individual’s life or hamper personal and professional relationship. It cannot be directly concluded that anger is good or bad, it is just a normal emotion which expresses any kind of message of upset or disappointment. But if a person suddenly reacts by exploding or out bursting then the proper message is not conveyed. It can be stated that anger is a natural emotion when the individual is being treated badly but it is not appropriate to express in a harmful manner.

Katzenbach and Smith 2015 stated that the book is intended to explore about teams in a larger organizational context. It was a false notion that the previous experiences along with the current body of research knowledge will deliver most of the required information. While doing further research on this subject it was found out that the topic of team is a very rich subject to discuss about. As an outcome of that, many people in different organizations were spoken to with special focus on those who could have formed a team. There was no bad outcome found out and it was recognized that one must learn from the new experiences. This book takes into consideration a very delicate and obvious matter. For instance, the components of the definition involved are obvious, but the discipline implied is not. Therefore, it is also obvious to consider that each component has an obvious meaning along with slight implications. So, it becomes obvious that the teams altogether will outperform the individuals in any activity. This book has been written with thorough research as it is not obvious for the top management to exploit. Actual stories of the team were constructed as the central point of this book. They can be relied on for gaining insights which can be used for the basis of evidence. The stories that were related deliver a broad variety of performance hurdles, kinds of people, and the environment of the organization. But it is taken into account that none will be able to tally with the specific opportunities of the team that have been experienced or faced (Cummings and Worley 2014). It is not even accepted that there will be compelling stories. There it can only be hoped that they will be as prosperous as a learning opportunity. Emphasis should be given on the relatable stories of the teams and not the organizations as a whole. The teams are sought with a purpose for performance records and better understanding of the dynamics in various settings.
