    Combining purpose with profits (2014)
    [Cambridge, MA] : MIT Sloan Management Review
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume) , illustrations
    Keywords: Profit ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Is it possible for a company to strive for a higher purpose while also delivering solid profits? Some have argued that pursuing goals other than making money means, by definition, spending on things that aren't profit-maximizing. Others have countered that by investing in worthwhile causes the company is doing something intrinsically valuable that will generate a long-term payoff to all parties. In the authors' view, the important question is not whether there is some tension between purpose and profits; there is. Instead, the question to ask is: How can the tension between purpose and profits best be managed? This article is based on research that the authors conducted over the last five years looking at the organizational challenges involved in managing two different objectives at the same time. The authors describe how goal-framing theory provides an understanding of why pursuing "pro-social" goals - which the authors define as goals that involve working toward common causes that go beyond just making money and staying in business - creates a stronger motivational basis for working in organizations than does pursuing self-interest goals that emphasize financial gain or personal enjoyment. The authors' research identified many companies with a clear sense of purpose, typically expressed as a set of pro-social goals such as putting employees first or investing in local communities. In the majority of cases, there was no discernible impact on the way employees actually behaved; however, the authors also found a small number of highly successful companies whose pro-social goals seemed genuine. Using examples such as Svenska Handelsbanken, Tata Group and HCL Technologies, the authors argue that there are a few organizing principles that help a company sustain its sense of purpose over time while still achieving a solid level of profitability. For example, they observe that pro-social goals need supporting systems within the company if they are to stick. Even with such supporting systems, however, the authors note that it is quite common to see executives bowing to short-term financial pressures.

    Rethinking hierarchy : we need to reconceive managerial authority for today's business environment, not eliminate it (2023)
    [Cambridge, Massachusetts] : MIT Sloan Management Review
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (8 pages) , illustrations
    Edition: [First edition].
    DDC: 658
    Keywords: Management
    Abstract: For all the hype around bossless companies, managerial authority and hierarchy are still the best ways to ensure coordination, cooperation, creativity, predictability, and accountability in large organizations. But authority and hierarchy must be aligned to a company’s specific needs. To fine-tune them, leaders should consider the need for speed in decision-making, the extent of employee knowledge, what knowledge is truly required, employee feelings of ownership, and procedural justice.

    Managing tensions between new and existing business models : the search for new business models forces established companies to experiment with organizational designs, and leads to tensions that should be anticipated and carefully managed (2016)

    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume)
    Keywords: Organizational change ; Management ; Business planning ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Exploring new business models may be a good way to stay competitive, but doing so can create tensions internally, in areas such as organizational structure and competition for resources. Companies exploring business model innovation may not recognize the inevitability of these tensions and thus be poorly prepared to manage them. But understanding these issues may lessen some of the organizational challenges associated with business model innovation.

    Why managers still matter (2014)
    Cambridge, MA : MIT
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (1 volume)
    Keywords: Performance ; Management ; Executives ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: The Industrial Revolution brought the decline of small-scale, cottage production and the rise of large, integrated businesses; Adam Smith's invisible hand was replaced with what business historian Alfred D. Chandler Jr., called the "visible hand" of management. But now that pendulum appears to be swinging the other way - to a system of loose networks, virtual businesses and peer-to-peer interactions. A supposed hallmark of the new economy has been the decline of managerial authority. Management gurus, consultants and pundits have proclaimed that hierarchy is out. Modern organizations such as online retailer Zappos have come to favor flat hierarchies with widely distributed authority. And yet, given the demands of the current environment, authors Nicholai J. Foss and Peter G. Klein argue that managerial authority is still essential in situations where (1) decisions are time-sensitive; (2) key knowledge is concentrated within the management team; and (3) there is need for internal coordination. Such conditions, they observe, are also hallmarks of our networked, knowledge-intensive and hypercompetitive economy. While it is true that many knowledge workers no longer need a boss to direct them to tasks or monitor their day-to-day progress, the authors contend that the role of managers and the definition of "authority" needs to change. Managers need to move away from specifying methods and processes in favor of defining the principles they want people to apply or the goals they want people to meet. In other words, the main task for top management is to define and implement the organizational rules of the game. To be sure, procedures for defining rules and frameworks can themselves be delegated and nested. Indeed, when a company's key assets are knowledge workers whose skills and behaviors are difficult to assess objectively, companies will need to increasingly rely on more subjective assessments of performance, which must be carried out by managers.

    Abstract: While characteristically "Austrian" themes such as entrepreneurship, economic calculation, tacit knowledge and the temporal structure of capital are clearly relevant to the business firm, Austrian economists have said relatively little about management, organization, and strategy. This innovative book features 12 chapters that all seek to advance the understanding of these issues by drawing on Austrian ideas
