B. Forecasting
this can used by managers to assess the environment is forecasting. Forecasting
is an important part of organizational planning. Environment scanning creates the
foundation for forecasts, which are predication of outcomes
Forecasting Techniques
• Quantitative Forecasting
applies a set of mathematical rules to a series of past data to predict outcomes.
These techniques are preferred when managers have sufficient hard data that
can be used .
• Qualitative Forecasting
it uses the judgment and opinion of knowledgeable individuals to predict
outcomes. it’s used when precise data are limited or hard to obtain.
• Benchmarking
this is the search for the best practices between competitors or non competitors

cost . It points out the relationship between revenues, costs, and profits .
• Linear Programming
is a mathematical technique solves resource allocation problems .
Decision-Making
• Definition
Decision is choice made between two or more available alternatives .
Decision-Making is process of choosing the best alternative to reach objectives.
• Decisions Types :
1. Programmed Decision
are routine and repetitive, and the company develops specific ways to handle them
.
Procedure
It’s a series of interrelated sequential steps that manager can use for responding
to a structured problem .
Rule
It’s clear statement that tells manger what he can do . Rules used for facing a well-
structured problem because they are simple to follow and ensure consistency
stability . ex. Rules about lateness and absenteeism .
Policy
put guidelines to limit manager’s thinking in specific direction . Different from rule,
policy establish parameters for decision maker rather than specifically stating what
should or should not to be done
2. Non-Programmed Decision
are typically one-shot decision that are usually less structured than programmed decision .
• The Decision-Making Process : the decision-making process include the steps for
decision maker to arrive at this choice .
The decision-making steps
1. Identifying an existing problem
¤ Orders issued by managers or supervisors .
¤ Situations relayed to managers by their subordinates .
¤ The normal activity of the managers themselves .
2. List alternative solution
before searching for solutions managers should be aware of five limitations on the number
of problem-solving alternatives available :
¤ Authority factors (manager’s superior may gave told the manager that may be a certain
alternative is not feasible ) .
¤ Biological for human factors (human factors inside the company may be not fit for carry out
certain alternatives ) .
¤ Physical factors (the physical facilities of the company may be not fit for certain
alternatives ) .
¤ Technological factors (the level of company technology may be not fit for certain
¤ alternatives ) .
¤ Economic factors (certain alternatives may be too costly for the company ) .

the evaluation should consist of three steps
® first : decision maker should list the potential effects of each alternatives
® Second : they should assign a probability factor to each potential effects to show
how probable the effect occurrence would be if the alternative were carried out .
® Third : keeping company goals in mind, decision maker should compare each
alternative’s expected effects and the respective probabilities of those effects .
after completed this steps. Manager the most advantageous of alternative to the
company .
4. Implementing the chosen alternative
put the chosen alternative into action . Decision must be supported by appropriate
action to have a chance of success .
5. Evaluating decision effectiveness
decision makers must gather feedback to determine the implementing alternative
effect on the identified problem . If the identified problem is not being solved,
managers need to search out and implement some other alternative .
• Decision-Making Conditions
* Complete Certainty Condition
It’s the decision-making situation in which the decision maker knows exactly what
the results of a carried out alternative will be .
* Complete Uncertainty Condition
Used if the decision maker has no idea about the results of carried out alternative .
* Risk Condition
It means the decision maker has only enough information to estimate about the
implemented alternatives outcome .

When managers develop or change an organization’s structure, they are engaged
in organizational design .
• Organizational Design
Is a process involves decisions about six key elements
1. Work Specialization
Describes the degree to which tasks in an company are divided into separate jobs.
It’s also meaning not done by one individual . But is broken down into steps and
each one is completed by different person . Individual employees specialize in
doing part of an activity rather than entire activity .
2. Departmentalization
Is the basis by which job are grouped together .
There are five common forms of departmentalization
Θ Functional departmentalization
Θ Product departmentalization
Θ Geographical departmentalization
Θ Process departmentalization
Θ Customer departmentalization

specialties and who work together .
3. Chain Of Command
is the continues line of authority that extends form upper organizational levels to the
lowest levels and clarifies who reports to whom .

5. Centralization and Decentralization
Centralization
Describes the degree to which decision-making concentrated at a single point in
the company . If top managers make the company’s key decisions with little or no
inputs from below then the organization is centralized
Decentralization
Allows lower-level employees provide input or actually make decision .
Centralization and Decentralization Factors
More Centralization
• Environment is stable
• Lower level managers are not as capable or experienced at making decisions as
upper level managers .
• Lower-level managers do not want to have a say in decisions .
• Decisions are significant .
• Organization is facing a crisis or the risk of company failure .
• Company is large
• Effective implementation of company strategies depends on managers retaining
say over what happens .
More Decentralization
• Environment is complex, uncertain .
• Lower-level managers are capable and experienced at making decision .
• Lower-level managers want a voice in decision .
• Decisions are relatively minor .
• Corporate culture is open to allowing managers to have a say in what happens .
• Company is geographically dispersed .
• Effective implementation of company strategies depends on managers having
involvement and flexibility to make decision .
6. Formalization
shows the degree to which jobs in company are standardized and the extent to
which employee behavior is guided by rules and procedures .
Influencing
• Definition
Influencing is the process of guiding the activities of company members in
appropriate directions .
Appropriate Directions
Are those that lead to the attainment of management system objectives .
• The Influencing Subsystem

• The Michigan Studies
It says there’s two basic types of leading behavior
• Job-Centered Behavior
It focuses on the subordinates work and performance.
2. Employee-Centered Behavior
It focuses on subordinates humanity (as people) and cares about personal needs
and team player.
• Effectiveness of various leadership styles
The desirable leadership behavior is associated with high leader emphasis on both
structure and consideration and the undesirable leadership behaviors is
associated with low leader emphasis on both dimensions. The most effective
leadership style noticed in high consideration and high structure. Results of a more
recent studies shows that high consideration is always preferred by subordinates.
• Comparing Styles
one shows that any single leadership style is more effective than any other. The
successful leadership style for managers in one situation may prove ineffective in
another situation.
Motivation
• Definition
Motivation is the inner state makes everyone in company behaves in a way that
ensures the accomplishment of some jobs .
• Motivating Organization Members Strategies
There’s seven strategies
1. Managerial communication .
2. Theory X – Theory Y .
3. Job design .
4. Behavior modification .
5. Likert’s management system.
6. Monetary incentives .
7. Non – monetary incentives .
1. Managerial Communication
Managers should strive to communicate with other company members, because it’s basic tool
for satisfying the human needs of company members.
2. Theory X – Theory Y
Theory X : involves negative assumption about people .
Theory Y : involves positive assumption about people and must be used by managers.
Production might be increased by using any theory of X or Y assumption. Depending on the
situation the manager face.
3. Job Design
€ Job Rotation
It’s the process of moving workers form between jobs rather than requiring them to perform
only one simple and specialized job over the long term.
Job Enlargement is the process of increasing the number of operations an individual performs
in a job, in order to enhance the individual’s situation in work.
€ Job Enrichment
It’s the process of incorporating motivators into a job situation. And motivating factors are
items that influence the job satisfaction degree (achievement opportunity, recognition
opportunity work itself, responsibility, advancement, personal growth)
€ Flextime
or flexible working hours programs, is a program that allows workers to complete their jobs
within a workweek of normal of hours that they arrange themselves .
4. Behavior Modification
It’s a program that focuses on managing human activity by controlling the
consequences of performing the activity. Positive reinforcement is a reward that
consist of a desirable consequence of behavior, and negative reinforcement is
reward that consist of eliminating of an undesirable consequence of behavior.
5. Likert’s Management System
Includes
¤ - System 1 - this style of management is characterized by a lack of confidence or
trust in subordinates.
¤ - System 2 - this style is characterized by master – to – servant – style confidence
and trust in subordinates.
¤ - System 3 - this style is characterized by substantial, though not complete
confidence in subordinates.
¤ - System 4 - this style is characterized by complete trust and confidence in
subordinates.
styles, systems, and productivity Likert has suggested that as management style
moves from system 1 to 4, the human needs of individuals become more
effectively satisfied over the long-term.
6. Monetary Incentives
It’s a program or plan allows the team members receive a bonus when their team
exceeds a goal. All plans link pay closely to performance (shares of company
stock as a benefit, lump – sum bonuses – one – time cash payment – and gain –
sharing) .
7. Non – Monetary Incentive
This plan makes employees committed and motivated by non-monetary means .
• Considering Groups
A group is any number of people who interact with one another, are
psychologically aware of one another, and perceive to be group.
Why should managers study groups
1. Group exist in all kind of organizations .
2. Groups inevitably from in facets of organizational existence .
3. Groups can cause desirable or undesirable consequences within the organization .
4. An understanding of groups can used in rising probability desirable consequences
in company .
• Groups kinds
Θ Formal Groups
Is group that exists inside organization by management decree to perform tasks that
enhance the attainment of organizational objectives
Θ Informal Groups
Is a collection of individuals whose common work experiences result in the
development of a system of interpersonal relations.
Controlling
• Definition
Control is the process of monitoring activities to ensure that they are
being accomplished as planned and correcting any significant deviations.
• The Controlling Process
Measuring performance .
Comparing measured performance to standards .
Taking corrective action .
1. Measuring Performance
managers must measure correct organizational performance by establishing some
unit of measure that gauges performance and observe the quantity of this unit as
generated by the items whose performance is being measured.
2. Comparing Measured Performance to Standards
after managers have taken a measure of organizational performance, the next
step in controlling is to compare this measure with some standard.
A Standard
is a level of activity established to serve as a model for evaluation organizational
performance .
3. Take Corrective Action
after actual performance has been measured and compared with established
performance standards, the next step in controlling process is to take corrective
action if necessary .
Corrective Action focuses on correcting organizational mistakes that are slowing
the organizational performance.
• Control Types
1. Pre-control or Feed forward Control
the control that takes place before work is performed is called per control or feed
forward control . Managers using this type of control to create policies, procedures,
and rules aimed at eliminating behavior that will cause desirable work result .
2. Concurrent Control
Is control that takes place as work is being performed . It relate not only to
employee performance, but also to such non human areas as equipment
performance and department appearance.
3. Feedback Control
is control that takes place after some unit of work has been performed. Control that
concentrates on past organizational performance is called feedback control.
Managers use this type of control to take corrective action by looking at
organizational history over a specified time period . There’s two advantages over
feed forward and concurrent control
first feedback provides managers with meaningful information on how effective
their planning effort was.
second feedback control can enhance employee motivation.
1. Accuracy
an accurate control system is reliable and produces valid data.
2. Timeliness
an effective control system must provide timely information .
3. Economy
any system of control has to justify the benefits that it gives in relation to the costs
it incurs .
4. Flexibility
controls must be flexible enough to adjust to problems or to take advantage of
new opportunities .
5. Understandability
controls that cannot be understood have no value. A control system that is difficult
to understand can cause unnecessary mistakes, frustrate employees, and be
ignored .
6. Reasonable Criteria
control standards must be reasonable and attainable if they are too high or
unreasonable, they no longer motivate.
7. Strategic Placement
management can’t control everything that goes on in company . Even if it could the
benefits couldn’t justify the costs . As a result , managers should place controls on
factors that are strategic to the organization’s performance. Control should cover the
critical activities, operations, and events within the organization.
8. Emphasis on the Exception
because managers can’t control all activities, they should place their strategic control
devices where those devices can call attention only to the exceptions .
9. Multiple Criteria
if management controls by using a single measure such as unit profit, effort will be
focused only on looking good on that standard. multiple measures of performance
widen this narrow focus.
10. Corrective Action
an effective control system not only indicates when a significant deviation from
standard occurs but also suggests what action should be taken to correct the
deviation .
