THE MANAGER: OMNIPOTENT OR
SYMBOLIC?
• Omnipotent view of management: The view that managers are directly
responsible for an organization’s success or failure
• In reality, managers are neither all-powerful nor helpless. But their decisions and
actions are constrained. External constraints come from the organization’s
environment and internal constraints come from the organization’s culture.
