Actually studding the Leadership and Management Theories in the first week was very
helpful to us organize our minds plus it was very added value to studding the history of
Leadership and Management to know how this scientific has been started and what was
the drivers.
For Fredrick (1911) Taylor ‘the scientific management theory was a technique that was
developed to enhance the efficiency of work processes, The theory centered on the
systematic study of people, behavior, and tasks. The core of Taylor’s theory that they
followed the technique of breaking the work process into sub-tasks or least possible
units to regulate the most efficient method for accomplishing a particular task.
Based on my experience in telecommunication sector I would like to discuss the
reflection of these Theories on telecommunication sector as I worked in companies still
used the scientific management theory and from my point of view this is the bad
example and will call it example A and working now in company used different model
and from my point of view this is the good example and will call it example B .
I will start with example A, I was responsible about big team consist of 30 engineers
Definitely the productivity was very high as the roles and responsibilities of each
member very define by book, also the relation between the managers and employee
was very define, also the processes and interlock between different department was
very define, the business divided to very small parts so each employee make very small
part so the Efficiency increased the inaccuracy decreases, Cost of production reduced ,
Less production time
But on other hand scientific management create unhealthy business environment as the
theory focuses on efficiency where employees viewed as robots to speed up work, the
relationship between the management and the employee’s become overly bureaucratic
plus it requires huge budget to cover all part system and the end the organization
become is expelling the employees as the employees looking forward better business
environment.
Now we reach to example B the good one from my point of view,Where the business
environment is very healthy as there are big spaces of creativity and responsibility for
the employees, the relationship between the management and employees is very open
and transparent plus the employees used to be multi tasks and multi-talented which
reduce budget comparing to the traditional Management Theories
