Introducing knowledge worker:
“Own their means of production, for they own their knowledge. And their knowledge is
portable; it is between their ears. They outlive any employing organization”

5. Introduction
What is Management?
Management is tasks. Management is a discipline. But management is also people. every achievement of management is the
achievement of manager. Every failure is a failure of manager.
Who are the managers?
Those who have responsibility for contribution. Function rather than power has to be distinctive criterion and the
organizing principle.
What do managers do?
1) Set objectives: what the objective should be, what goals in each area of objective should be, decide what has to be done
to reach these objectives, make the objective effective by communicating them.
2) Organizes: Analyze the activities, decisions, and relations needs, classify the work, divide it into manageable activities->
manageable jobs, group the units into organization structure
3) Motivates & communicate: Make a team out of the people that are responsible for various Jobs.
4)Measurement: establish target and yardstick, communicate the meaning of the measurements and their findings to
subordinate
5) Develops people: including the manager itself.

7. Knowledge is All
Knowledge Economy:
1) Borderless ness, because knowledge travels even more effortlessly than money
2) Upward mobility, available to everyone through easily acquired formal education
3) The potential for failure as well as success. Anyone can acquire the "means of production"-that
is, the knowledge required for the job-but not everyone can win.

8. New Demographic
Demographic tends are having significant political and economic effects in developed
countries.
Low birth rates in some countries are escalating political tensions over immigration
policies.
The aging population in developed countries is straining existing social pension
system, leading to pressure to increase the traditional retirement age.
Increased life expectancies, especially among knowledge workers, should make second
and parallel careers possible and desirable.

9. The Future Of The Corporation
& The Way Ahead
Some of the key assumptions on which the corporation was invented are now being reversed.
First, the specialized nature of knowledge, the reduction in communication costs, and the crisscross of
technology are having a profound impact on reversing the century trend toward integrating the separate
activities of the corporation into a hierarchy. The process of integration is being reversed by the process
of disintegration.

10. Management’s New Paradigm
Management as Business Management:
Not completely true, Management is the specific and distinguishing organ of any and all
organizations.
The one right organization: Instead of searching for the right organization, management
needs to learn to look for, to develop, to test: The organization that fits the task.
There is one right way to manage people- or at least there should be. One does not
"manage" people. The task is to lead people. And the goal is to make productive the specific
strengths and knowledge of each individual

12. Theory of Business
A theory of the business has three assumptions:
There three assumptions must fit one another and reality. The
theory of the business must be understood throughout the
organization.

13. The Purpose & Objective of A
Business
Marketing and innovation are the two result areas with which the setting of
objectives has to begin. And then, there is the need for objectives with respect to
all resources: people, capital, and key physical resources.
Profit &
Profitability?
Profit and profitability come at the end, they are
survival needs of a business and therefore require
objectives. But the needed profitability also
establishes limitations on all the other objectives.

14. Making The Future Today!
It is possible to identify and prepare for the future that has already happened.
It is futile to try to guess what products and processes the future wil want, but
it is possible to decide what idea one wants to make reality in the
future, and to build different business on such an idea.
The key factor for business will not be overpopulation that we have been warned for
many years, but under population of the developed countries.

15. Strategic Planning:
The Entrepreneurial Skills
Strategic planning prepares today's business for the future.
The aim of strategic planning is action now.
17. Managing Service Institution in
the Society of Organizations
To make service institution and service staffs perform requires:
1) clear objective and goals
2)priorities on which resources can be concentrated.
3)clear measurement of accomplishment
4) organized abandonment of the obsolete

18. What Successful & Performing
Nonprofits are Teaching Us
1) No bland mission statements
Focus Their Mission Statement on Specific Strategies & Action
"to turn society's rejects-alcoholic, criminals, derelicts-into
citizens“
2) Successful Mission Statement Focus on the Outside
The Community & Customer
3)Know how to manage volunteers

19. The Accountable School
The knowledge society & knowledge workers require high
level of literacy, strength-based education &
continuous learning.

20. Performance in Service Institution
Rethinking government should start by acquiring each
agency to immediately define its performance
objective, its quality objective, and its cost objective.
This should be followed by the adoption of the formal
processes of continuous improvement and
benchmarking.
21. Entrepreneurship in the
Public-Service Institution
There are 4 requirements for successful innovation in the
public-service institution, 2 of the important are:
1) Provide a clear definition of mission
2) Establish goals that are attainable & stated in terms of
the optimum rather than the theoretical maximum
Source: Google Image
23. The main challenges to managing work and working are the changed
psychological and social position of the manual worker. Work is
changing, especially as more & more married women of all classes are
working in the developed countries.

24. Managing The Work & Worker in Manual
Work
There are number of steps to improve knowledge-worker productivity.
They include:
1) Define the task
2) Focus on the task
3) Define results
4) Define quality
5) Grant autonomy to the knowledge worker
6) Demand accountability
7) Build into tasks continuous learning & teaching
26. In our society of pluralistic institution, each institution
must focus on its narrow mission if it is to achieve
results & meet the minimum test of social
responsibility.
28. Why Managers: Lesson of The
Ford Story
Managers are not helpers and their jobs are not delegated.
Their jobs are autonomous and grounded in the needs
of the enterprise.
Source: Google Image
29. Design & Content of
Managerial Jobs
A manager's job should always be based on necessary task. It
should be a real job that makes a visible (if not a measurable)
contribution toward the objectives of the entire enterprise. It
should have broadest scope & authority possible. Should be
directed and controlled by the objectives of the performance
rather than by their superior.

30. Developing Management &
Managers
Management development is based on the genuine needs of
organizations and managers alike. Management
development tied to the needs of the organization, manager
development tied to the needs of the individual.
Manager development is self-development, the aim of
manager development is excellence.

31. The Spirit of Performance
The purpose of organization is to enable ordinary human
beings to do extraordinary things. The test of an
organization's leadership is, therefore, the spirit of
performance. This requires the specific practices rather than
preachment or charisma. It requires the realization that
integrity is the one absolute requirement of managers &
leaders

33. The Elements of Effective
Decision Making
Good decision makers don't make many decisions. They make
decisions that make a difference.
The step in making important decisions are:
1) Define the problem
2) Decide on what is right
3)Get other to buy the decision
4) Build action into the decision
5) Test the decision against actual results
6) Building continuous learning
into executive decisions

35. How To Make People Decision
There are five steps in making people decisions:
1) Carefully think through the assignment.
2) Look at 3 to 5 qualified people
3) Consider each candidate’s strenghts
4) Discuss each candidate with his/her colleagues and bosses.
5) Make sure the appointee understands the job & what it requires
6) Report back on it once he/she is in the job.
There are five ground rules for the decision maker:
1) Accept responsibility for any people
2) Accept also that people who do not perform must be removed
3) Find the position that fits employee’s strengths
4) It is manager’s responsbility to make the right people decision every time
& for every position
5) Newcomer should preferably be put first into an established
position, where expectations are known & where they can be helped if
necessary.
37. The Entrepreneurial Strategies
Fustest With the Mostest
Entrepreneur aims at leadership, if not a dominance, of a new
market or a new industry. Being Fustest with the mostest is not
necessarily aim at creating a big business right away.

38. The Entrepreneurial Strategies (Cont’d)
Hitting Them Where They Ain’t (Creative Imitation)
A strategy that is “imitation” in its substance. But it is creative because
entrepreneur applying the strategy of creative innovation understands what the
innovation represents better than the people who made it & who innovated
Creative imitation is likely to work most effectively in high-tech areas for one
sample reason: high tech innovators are least likely to be market focused and most
likely to be technology and product focused.

Hitting Them Where They Ain’t (Entrepreneurial Judo)
The Japanese master looks for he strength that is his opponent’s pride & joy. He
assumes, and does so with high probability that the opponent bases his strategy
on this strength in every fight. Then he turns his opponent’s strength into the
opponent’s fatal weaknesses that defeats the opponent. This is the entrepreneurial
judo strategy.

40. The Entrepreneurial Strategies (Cont’d)
ECOLOGICAL NICHES
The toll-gate strategy
The product has to be essential to a process. The risk of
not using it must be infinitely greater than the cost of
the product
The specialty-skill strategy
Unlike the toll-gate companies, theirs is a fairly large
niche; yet it still unique. It wasobtained by developing
high skill at a very early time.
The specialty-market strategy
The major difference between the specialty- skill &
specialty –market is that the former is built around a
product/ service and the latter around specialized
knowledge of a market. Otherwise, they are similar.

42. Strategies & Structure
Good Organization structure does not guarantee performance. But poor or in
appropriate structure impedes performance– and performance is the test of
organization structure.

43. Three Kinds of Teams
Team Building has now become buzzword in American organizations, yet the
results are not overly impressive. The major reason why team building is not
successfuly applied is because the executives belief that there is just one kind of
team, while actually there are 3 kind of teams. Each different in its
structure, behavior & demand from its members, in its strengths, its
vulnerabilities, its limitation & its requirement.

44. Alliances
Mergers & Acquisitions and divestitutes have been around for a long time.
Oganizations generally enter alliances for one of five reasons:
1) To obtain access to new, distinct technology
2) To achieve synergy between the strenghts of two independent partners
3) To gain access to people with specialized knowledge
4) To outsource noncore activities to specialist
5) To extend a company’s geographic reach
Alliances are risky. Alliance are difficult. But are increasingly necessary for growth.

45. The CEO in the New Millenium
The CEO in the new millenium has six specific tasks. They are:
1) To define the meaningful outside of the organization
2) To think through what information regarding the outside is meaningful and
needed for the organization, and then to work on getting it into usable form
3) To decide what results are meaningful for the institution
4) To set priorities for the organization
5) To place people into key positions
6) To organize top management
47. New Demands on the Individual
Knowledge workers are likely to outlive their employing organization. Even if
knowledge workers postpone entry into the labor force as long as possible—if, for
instance, they pursue education till their late twenties to get a doctorate. They are
likely with present life expectancies in the developed countries, to live into their
eighties. Their average working life, in other words, is likely to be fifty years.
But the average life expectancy of a successful business is approximately thirty
years and in the period we are living now, it could be less.
Therefore, workers, and especially knowledge workers, will outlive any one
employer, and will have to be prepared for more than one job,
more than one assignment, more than one career.
48. Managing The Boss
There are seven specific keys to success in managing bosses:
1) Make a boss list to identify who your bossess are
2) Ask for input
3) Enable each boss to perform, play to each boss’s strenghts
4) Keep each boss informed
5) Protect each other bosses from surprise
6) Never underrate a boss
All managing the boss requires is a little thinking, a little common sense.
But it does require some works.

49. The Educated Person
The knowledge society changes the very idea about the definition of educated
person. In earlier societies, the educated person was an ornament. Now th
educated person is the knowledge’s society’s chief representative & key resource.
This brings new responsibilities and new demands on the individual.
The educated person will have to be able to understand the world’s
cultures, religions & and traditions and will have to become familiar with
knowledge in multiple disciplines, because changes in one discipline often
originate from innovations in another disciplines. This requires continuous
learning & teaching.

50. Conclusion: The Manager of Tomorrow
Manager of tomorrow will have to learn how to manage in situations where they
do not have command authority, where they are neither controlled nor controlling.
The key to the productivity of knowledge workers is to make them concentrate on
the real assignments. One of the worst problem in managing knowledge workers is
the assumption among knowledge workers that if you are understanable, you are
vulgar.
With respect to managing social impact and social responsibility, managers will
have to learn how to think through systematically & carefully the difficult & risky
trade-offfs between conflicting needs & conflicting rights
Editor's Notes
identify themselves with their knowledge area.
Penting 1:-The knowledge workers, are collectively, are the new capitalists. Knowledge has become the key resource, and the only scarce one. This means that knowledge workers collectively own the means of production.-Effective knowledge is specialized.-Knowledge work, is unisex. Not because of feminist pressure but because it can be done equally well by both sexes. Penting 2:"Knowledge industries, knowledge work and the knowledge societies have been emerging steadily since the 1950s. Knowledge workers tend to identify at least as much with their knowledge discipline as they do with the organization in which they are employed, they are highly mobile and more difficult to integrate into the mission of the organization"
What happens now:The means of production is knowledge, which is owned by knowledge worker that is highly portable. Knowledge workers provide capital just much as those who provide money. The two are dependent on each other.Many employees, perhaps a majority, will still have full-time jobs, yet a growing number of people work for an organization will not be a full time employee but be part-timers, temporaries, consultant or contractors.The traditional axiom that an enterprise should aim for maximum integration has become entirely invalidated. Why? 1) knowledge needed for any activity has become highly specialized. It is therefore, increasingly expensice & difficult to maintain enough critical mass for every major task within company. 2) communications costs have come down so fast as to become insignificant4) The customer now has the infomation5) There are few unique technologies anymore.
FIATThe Japanese are usually credited with the invention of keiretsu, but actually the american company, General Motor already applied it first at early 1910. Durant who created General Motors was buying up small but successful automobile manufacturers such as Buick & merging them into one big automobile company. A few years later Durant merged suppliers into General Motors. But the Durant Keiretsu was still based on the belief that management means command & control.The next keiretsu builder, and belived by Peter Drucker as the most successful one so far was Marks & Spencer in England, which in early 1930s integrated practically all its supplier into its own management system. Furthermore Peter Drucker claimed that Marks & Spencer model was quite consciously copied by Japanese in 1960s.
1) Assumption about the environment of the organization. These define how the organization expects it can be paid for.2) Assumption about the specific mission of the organization. These define how the organization intends to make a difference in society and what results are meaningful3)Assumption about the core competencies needed to accomplish the mission. These define in which areas the organization must excel in order to achieve its mission.
The men who built SEARS, Roebuck-Richard Sears, Julius Rosenwald, Albert Loeb, & General Robert E.Wood has active social concerns and lively social imagination. From it’s early beginnings, Sears, Roebuck has the idea that the poor’s man money could be made to have the same purchasing power as the rich man’s. Peter Drucker said that this was not particulary a new idea. Social reformers & economists had bandied it about for decades. The cooperative movement in Europe largely grew out of it. But SEARS was the first business built on the idea in the United States, It started out with the question “ What would make the farmer a customer for a retail business?”, & and the answer is “He needs to be sure of getting goods of the same dependable quality as do city people at the same low price”
Willow Creek Community Church, Illinois, outside Chicago has become one of the nation’s largest churches, approximately 15000 in weekly attendance in 2007. Bill Hybels, when he founded the church in 1970, chose the community because it had few churchgoers. He was asking door to door, asking, “Why don’t you go to church?”. Then he designed a church to answer the potential customer’s needs, for instance: it offers full services on Wednesday evenings because many working parents need Sunday to spend with their children. Then he continues to listen & react: 1) The pastors’ sermon is taped while it is being delivered and instantly reproduced so that parishioners can pick up a cassette when they leave the building 2) He even add specific action recommendation at the end of the sermon to fulfill customers'’ request.
As knowledge becomes the key resource of the knowledge society, the social position of school as producer & distributive channel of knowledge, and its monopoly, are both bound to be challenged. And some of the competitors are bound to succeed.
Daisy Scout America:Beginning around 1975, the girl scouts of the USA, introduced innovations affecting membership, programs, and volunteers- the basic 3 dimensions of the organization.It began actively recruit girls from the new urban middle class: African- American, Asians, Latinos. They recognized that with the movement of women into professions & managerial positions, girls need new programs & role model that stress out professionalism & business career rather than traditional managing households. The management also realized that the traditional sources for volunteers to run local activities were shrinking because young mothers were no longer stay at home but working at office. Yet they recognized too, that this change could turn into opportunity. They set out to make work as volunteer for the Girl Scouts attractive to the working mother as a good way to have time and fun with her child while also contributing to her child’s development.

In knowledge worker era, The how in knowledge work comes only after the what has been answered.
Henry Ford failed to see the need to change to managers and management because he believed that a large & complex business enterprise evolves organically from the small one-man shop. Brought more than a change in size. At some point quantity turned into quality. At some point Ford became business enterprise, that is, an organization requiring different structure & different principles-an organization requiring managers & management.
Indeed, charisma may become the undoing of leaders. It may make them inflexible, convinced for their own infallibility, unable to change. This is what clearly happened to Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, ans it is a commonplace in the study of ancient history that only Alexander the Great’s early death saved him from becoming an ineffectual failure. Indeed, charisma does not, by itself, guarantee effectiveness as a leader. Nor are there any such things like “leadership qualities” or a “leadership personality”. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winstion Churchill, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, Bernard Montgomery, and Douglas Mc. Arthur were all highly effective, and highly visible leaders during World War II, None of them shared any personality traits or personalities.Leadership is Work, something just stressed again & again by the most effective leaders: Julius Caesar.
-Japanese Decision-Making processJapanese decisions are not being made by "consensus" that's the mistranslation of the Japanese term. The correct translation would be something like "common understanding"Example: everyone who is likely to be affected by a decision, like to go into a joint venture with a western company or to acquire a minority stake in a potential U.S distributor is asked to write down how such a decision would affect his work, job, and unit. He is expressly forbidden to have an opinion or to recommend ot to object to the possible move. But he is expected to think it thorough. Top management in turn, then knows where each of these people stands. Then top management makes the decision from the top down.It's not participatory management, it's mutual understanding.-Franklin Roosevelt's Decision Process-Whenever roosevelttackeld a problem, he would ask 3 or 4 his bright and experienced cabinet members each to think trough the prblem and come to him individually with a recommended decision. Each could be expected to come up with a different definition of a problem. Each had his and her own ideology, his and her prejudices, his & her own constituent, and his or her own interests, so roosevelt could analyzed from different dimensions. and then made decision from the top-down.FDR's method did not make for a harmonious cabinet, but he was probably didn't want one anyhow.
1) Hoffmann-LaRoche of Basel, Switzerland, has for many years been one of the world’s largest and one of its most profitable pharmaceutical companies. But its origin were quite humble: Until the mid 1920s, Hoffmann LaRoche was a small and struggling manufacturing chemist, making a few textile dyes. It was totally overshadowed by the huge German dyestuff makers and two or three much bigger chemical firms in its own country. Then it gambled on the newly discovered vitamins at a time when scientific world still could not quite accept that such substance existed. It acquired the vitamins patents--nobody else wanted them.It hired the discoverers away from Zurich University at several times the salaries they could hope to get as professors, salaries even industry had never paid before. And it invested all the money it hhad and all it could borrow in manufacturing and marketing these new substances. Sixty year later, long after all vitamin patents had expired, Hoffmann-LaRoche has nearly half the world's vitamin market, announting to billions of dollars a year.2) It was the same story with DuPont. When it came up with Nylon, the first truly synthetic fiber--after fifteen yersog hard, frustating research-- DuPont at once mounted massive efforts, built huge plants, went into mass advertising (the company had never before had consumer products to advertise) & created the industry now call plastics.
In the early 1930s IBM built a high-speed calculating machine due to calculations for the astronomers at New York’s Columbia University. A few years later it built a machine that was already designed as a computer-again, to do astronomical calculations at Harvard. In 1945 when the first computer had finished its advanced, the first computer to be shown to a lay public in its showroom in midtown New York, where It drew immense crowds- IBM abandoned its own design & switched to the design of its rival, the ENIAC, developed at the University of Pennsylvania. The ENIAC was far better suited to business applications, such as: payroll. IBM structured the ENIAC so that it could be manufactured & serviced and could do mundane “numbers crunch-ing”. When IBM’s version of ENIAC came out in 1953, it at once set standard for commercial, multipurpose, mainframe computers. 2) Meanwhile, the Hattori Company in Japan had long been making conventional watches for the Japanese market. It saw opportunities and went in for creative imitation, developing the quartz-powered digital watch as the standard timepiece. By the time Swiss had woken up, it was too late. Seiko watches had become the world’s best sellers, with the Swiss almost pushed out of the market
In 1947, Bell Laboratories invented the transistor. It was once realized that the transistor was going to replace the vacuum tube, especially in consumer electronics such as the radio & the brand-new television set. Everybody knew this; but nobody did anything about it. The leading manufacturers- at that time they were all American, began to study transistor & to make plans for conversions to the transistor “sometime around 1970”. Till then, they proclaimed, the transistor would not be ready.Sony was practically unknown outside of Japan & was not even in consumer electronic at that time. But Sony’s President, Akio Morita read about the transistor in the newspaper. Then he went to US & bought the license of the new transistor from Bell Labs for $25000, a very low number.Two years later, SONY brought out the first portable transistor radio, which weighed less than one-fifth of comparable vacuum tube radios on the market & cost less than one third. 3 years later, Sony had the market for cheap radios in the US; and five years later the Japanese had captured the radio market all over the world.
Alcon Inc. Developed an enzyme to eliminate the one feature of the standard surgical operation for senile cataracts that went counter to the rhythm and the logic of the process. Once this enzyme had been developed & patented, Alcon had a “toll-gate position”. No eye surgeon would do without it. No matter what Alcon charged for the teaspoonful of enzyme that was needed for each cataract operation, the cost was insignificant in relation to the total cost of the operation. The toll gate strategy sure has severe limitations & serious risks. It is basically a static position. Once the ecological niche has been occupied, there is unlikely to be much growth. No matter how good its product or how cheap, the demand is dependent upon the demand for the process or the product to which the toll-gate product furnishes an ingredient. There were guidebook for travelers before Baedeker, but Baedeker was the only one who serves middle class tourists. Baedeker covers also practical details: the hotels, the tariff, the distance, the proper amount to tip.Perfurmes have followed a similar dynamic. A french firm, Coty, created the modern perfume industry.
We know & have to organize that in one & same structure there are 3 distinct kind of work:Operating workTop-management work Innovating workWe know that structure follows strategy and that structure is therefore not mechanical but must be developed from the pruposes,goals, and objectives of an organization, and on the foundation.
The first kind of team is the baseball team. The surgical team that performs an open-heart operation is a baseball team. The players play on the team, but they do not play as a team. They have fixed positions they never leave. “Up at bat, you are totally alone”. The second baseman rarely runs to assist the pitcher; the anesthesiologist rarely comes to the aid of the surgical nurse. The second kind of a team is the football team. The Japanese automakers’ design team & busy Emergency hospital team at 3AM are football team. Football team has fixed position but they also work as a team. Japanese automakers’ design team: the engineers, the designers, manufacturing people work in parallel.The third kind of a team is a the tennis doubles team, in tennis players have a primary rather than a fixed position. They are supposed to cover their teammates, adjusting to their teammates’ strengths & weaknesses and to changing demands of the game. All three of these kinds of team are true teams. But they are so different-in the behavior they require, in what they do best, and in what hey cannot do at all. One kind of team can play only one way, and it is very difficult to change from one kind of team to another.
