Craftsmanship Vs Modern Management

                               



            

              

                 Vs








Dr.Mandi gave us insights about the  arts of craftsmanship and modern management. Let us understand in principal what these two are.

What is craftsmanship?
                    A craftsmanship is all about one person performing all the activities in an occupation. The craftsman is very skillful and dextrous in the occupation that he does. His legacy stays with him.

What is modern management?
                    Managing to build an organization is all about bringing people together, sharing work among themselves and working at a very large scale towards a common goal.



Let us try and see how these two arts differ from each other


Craftsmanship
Modern Organizations
1
It is centered around the single craftsman
It operates around a huge number of people
2
Non parallel process
Parallel process
3
Less Dependency and greater accountability.
More inter- dependent and less accountability.
4
Person oriented
Process oriented


With this understanding Dr.Mandi talked about the need for budding mangers to have the vision  to look at the bigger picture and motivated us to be up and ready to take up the challenge of building such big organizations in future.

How we are going to do this is what we are going to learn in organization management. With respect to this one important concept was discussed.

The 3E's of Management

 # Efficiency
         Efficiency can be given as doing things in a right manner. This can be done by fine tuning the process that we do.

 # Effectiveness
         Effectiveness is doing the right things. This is the challenging part. As managers we have to be making certain decisions to make sure that effectiveness is accomplished. 

# Excellence
        Excellence is achieving more out of less for more.
                                   
                                       "Excellence = Effectiveness x Efficiency"
 
 Thank you for reading. I wish all the very best to you to achieve excellence in your quest in life.
