Victor Thompson Modern Organization
Thompson describes modern organization as a bureaucracy. Individuals are not motivated to work because they feel powerless. They feel their destiny has been chosen based on external factors rather than ability. As a result people become unhappy and unproductive. If individuals would learn to step out of bureaucracy and learn to co-operate then changes could be made. This is important in a school system. Everyone needs to feel part of team in order for a school to succeed. -
The Management Theory Jungle
Harold Koontz wrote about how the management systems are like a jungle. Thoeries of management have never evolved or matured but instead the jungle keeps getting denser. This means that as society evolves more and more theories are introduced on how to manage effectivly. This is similary to today in education. With all the constant changes being made and direction given from various sources we never give our schools the opportunity to develop the appropriate management theory that fits them. -
Organization Theory: An Overview and Appraisal
William G. Scott feels earlier theorist lacked the insight to understand that management has a number of variables. It seems that as Scott continued to examine management organization he believed that you must have micro and macro forms of management in every organization. This is important because finding a balance is what helps organizations be successful. In education balance is key to successful students and schools.
