The Payola Case Study

The Payola’s universal principals of management that are evident in the C. F. Martin case are first division of work because they had sent people who specialized to deal Ninth certain issues when they needed to.

Authority and unity of direction because even the quality manager had to be told that they are to make perfect guitars and that is the company goal and to try to get everyone on the same page. Unity of command because for years they had the idea that the boss makes the decisions and the workers follow it and go home.

Most certainly there was subordination of individual interests to the general interest as the employees seemed to feel left out of what they were doing. Centralization could be found as the company needed to find balance within its structure of organization. Order was found because workers need to do their Jobs based on the needs of the company.

Chris is a Theory Y manager because he cares about his company and its employees.

He did his best to offer the workers formal training, giving them refit sharing as a reward, and showing concern for employee involvement. 4. C. F.

Martin is a open system because they are now engaged with their employees more closely. 5. I would have them read Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… And Other’s Don’t by Jim Collins.

Managers need to set an example for their employees that they can always do better than they are. Being good is okay, but it Mould be better for them to help shape the company more to stand apart in its industry for more success through example and encouragement.
