The salient Features of the above notes are:-
The job satisfaction is now looked as a more meaningful and responsible work and therefore, this distinction is not adhered to.
Since business has become more competitive, more eyes and ears are being needed to run business organisation, so everyone is welcome to contribute to business. It now requires a total view and a total coordination.
The flat structures are increasing the span of management. It is also reducing cost of levels in the organisation. The strategic considerations are entering all levels and interpretation of business is required at all levels in management. You must have knowledge of competitive environment and business to be a good manager. A manager faces problems arising out of business and administration. He must understand as to which a business problem is and which an administrative problem is managers who are trained to only administer do not even think of a problem in terms of business.
Management is a part of the business system and must be treated as such. In fact it is possible to give everyone a role in business to his capacity to start making him think of business so that some of them may mature as business leaders. We see that managers are more proud of organisation.
