Re: If when you are 50, you look back on a picture of a girl who you had a crush on..

Hey guys, if anybody here does/did business studies, wtf is the deal with the political theory of management? I don't get it. I understand it has something to do with power, and those that have power are ultimately those that make the decisions and whatnot, but what is negative/positive about it?

idk all those business studies things make no fucking sense and are just random pieces of shit. I'll make shit up though, let's say positive:

- Workers get to participate in decision making.
- Workers feel they have a stake in the company.
- Less responsibility for senior management allowing them to focus on more important tasks.
- Better decisions as they are made by those on the front lines.

Negative

- More beaurocracy, less efficient.
- Can cause in-fighting between different groups.
- Will require for many industries a sophistocated workforce.

Hold on, aren't those positives for the behaviouralist theory of management?

However, I like your negatives. Thanks Chadd.

OHH! I just got it! Sorta! Thanks man!

idk what the fuck is the political theory of management? I don't think such a thing actually exists anywhere other than the business studies hsc syllabus.

Nah it does. It's like, those that have power are those who are ultimately able to make decisions. Or some shit like that. It's pretty confusing.

what he said.

Tbh I just imagined what it would be like if you analysed a workplace as a semi-democratic political system and set it up that way.

According to the syllabus:

-- politicial management theory

- Uses of power and influence, management as negotiating and bargaining
- Structure as coalitions.
- stakeholder view
- positives and negatives of theory.

What's funny is that I asked my teacher, and she had absolutely no clue.

It's essentially a business dictionary course.
