ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR 2

COMPARE THE  DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO MANAGEMENT AND THEORIES OF ORGANISATION     USED BY TWO ORGANISATION(2B)

There are different organisational theories and these include the classical approach, the person approach, the system approach and the contingency approach and different organisation apply different approach. I will now compare the approach being used by a public organisation in the name of travel for London a transportation service provider and a private organisation in the name of Ethames Graduate School an educational services provider.

·        Travel for London(TFL)- This is a public organisation a provider of transport services and approach being used by this type of organisation is classical approach where the style of management is bureaucratic, the policy, rule and regulation are being set down to follow employee initiative is not needed how the job should be done is already laid down and as a result of this it has help them in maintaining some level of consistency, from one section or region of the organisation the same process is followed and when there is consistency there is efficiency compare this to many private organisation adopting different approaches like ethames graduate school an educational services provider adopting a system approach and because this is educational sector organisation there are a lot of stake holders like the principal, the lecturer, the student and the non academic staff e t c and all this group of people need to be consult before most of the decision will be made, contribution of all these group is allowed compared to public organisation like the travel for London where no contribution is allowed. From the top to the lower level of ethames graduate school there are some level of autonomy, lecturer are given autonomy to use their own initiative to deal with the student and as a result of this it allowed togetherness within the organisation and also reduce tension.

From what i have said above we can see that the classical approach is the best for a public organisation like the travel for London because it help them in attaining some level of consistency and efficiency but non contribution from the staff might make them not important and the employee might not give their best and in the case of ethames graduate school with the system approach where all the stakeholders are involved in decision making, it has help them in forging ahead as one and also make everybody to feel important within the organisation though sometimes allowed initiative from all stakeholders can sometimes delay decision making but also sometimes involvement of the stakeholders must be allowed to avoid tension. In general most of the organisation either public or private organisation always adopted more than one approaches depending on the situation around them.
