In my opinion it is really interesting that Gary Hamel does not just wants to change the management orthodoxies, but he also wants to change the managers and their thinking. That they become more aware, how to interact with their employees. That they should listen to their workers or let them be creative. Considering the fact that the managers can also be inventors.
Another point that I find is good and not so good that he is criticising Max Weber’s bureaucracy traits like: control, precision, stability, discipline, and reliability. They are still important parts of management. I also think that part of these traits are old fashion, like for example control. The worker should be guided instead of controlled. It would suit more to an old roman slavery boat then to the modern ages. I think control of the worker is also influencing the job performance. Nevertheless, some of these traits can still be used nowadays like stability and reliability. For me these to traits belong to company, due to the fact that the firm has still to do profit. I mean customers like a stable and reliable service from a company. For example a cook cannot just take a break when several customers are waiting for their order. That can work in companies where it is important to invent something. However, normal customer service businesses need some structure.
It is quite useful that that he makes readers aware of the fact that firm’s might miss the future, when there is not going to happened a change in

The top management is the one who look after the entire bureaucracy. Weber suggests the bureaucracy within organisations are more rigid and authoritative, tend to be centralised, highly specialised, do not encourage empowerment, and high formalisation (Best, 2002). As a results, Weber’s conception of power connected with his interest in bureaucracy and office hierarchy (Sadan, 2004). Many organisations rely on bureaucracies to operate whether it is private or public sector such as government, hospitals, and schools. Therefore, everyone must follows the standardised procedures in order to produces similar results in the productivity and to promote the efficient attainment of the organization 's

Managers will eliminate the autonomy in the departments and will introduce the hierarchical system. Employees don’t feel trusted and don’t feel creative anymore, thus the need of managers to assure them a better environment by giving them constant feedbacks, sharing thoughts and ideas, and giving them straight forward commands. Managers should give back the permission to designers to get out during the work hours to go look for inspiration at the dime store like they used to do when they go down guy a five dollars’ worth of plastic toys. The research and design department cannot be limited by punching a time clock and stopping it from getting out of the organization because this department needs to look for inspirations, and creativeness doesn’t come out from four

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Max Weber suggested a set of principles for an "ideal" bureaucracy for large-scale organizations of all types. Through firmly ordered hierarchy of supervision-management and subordination, written records of management, expert training, and official activity taking priority over other activities, the bureaucracy management was envisioned as a large machine for attaining organization’s goals in the most efficient manner possible. Weber developed 8 principles regarding his Bureaucracy Management Theory. Principles of Bureaucratic Management Theory 1.
For in his lifetime, Weber was revered more for his political thoughts than his theories in management. In fact, Max Weber was part of a committee setup to draft the constitution of the Weimer Republic. Weber’s rise to prominence in the field of management is credited to two of his books: The Rise of Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, in which he linked the Calvinist morality (his mother was a staunch Calvinist) to capitalism and The Theory of Social and Economic

Max Weber and Emile Durkheim are two of the three founding fathers of sociology, who are both famous for their scientific methods in their approach towards sociology. They both wanted their methodological approaches to be more and more organized and scientific, however because of the difference in their views on the idea of scientific, Durkheim’s approach tends to be more scientific than Weber’s. This is because Weber does not wish to approach sociology in the manner scientists approached the natural sciences and believes more in interpretive analysis, than observational analysis. In this paper, I will compare and contrast the methodological approaches of Weber and Durkheim and discuss how Weber’s approach is more historical and Durkheim’s
`For the purpose of this assignment I have chosen to compare and contrast the contribution of Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) and Henri Fayol (1841-1925) to the field of management. I will outline the similarities and differences between Taylor and Fayol and then conclude and elaborate on how these two theorists’ work influenced the world of management both in the past and at the present moment. Frederick Winslow Taylor born in focused his theories heavily on the scientific method, finding the ‘one best way’ to manage a firm and its personnel, (Kanigel 1999). Taylor focused on the operative level, he believed that the application of scientific methods from the bottom of the industrial hierarchy upwards was the key to success. Taylor
