- THE IMPACT OF THE MANAGERIAL GRID ON ORGANIZATION CHANGE.
- Creator
- HART, HOWARD ARTHUR., Florida Atlantic University, Clare, Donald A.
- Abstract/Description
-
The Managerial Grid is examined as an organization development approach for a large manufacturing corporation. Using the case study method, the results of a seven year history of Grid activities are measured in terms of performance, culture, and several other categories. Conclusions are reached that Phase 2 of the Grid has a statistically significant impact on the organization when measured against Phase ø (no Grid activity) and the results of Phase 1 (the Grid Seminar). The paper also...

By reviewing through description and application the main OD techniques, a background is painted against which the total impact of this emerging entity in the behavioral science can be evaluated. While prior exposure to training and development activities would make the material more relevant, it is not essential for a general understanding. Resources include case study, examples collected from survey respondents, research of current literature, personal operating experience and observation.

In this thesis the literature of disequilibrium macroeconomic theory was reviewed and the empirical relevance of the Keynesian interpretation of the labor demand function was examined and contrasted to the disequilibrium interpretation of Barro and Grossman, Patinkin's disequilibrium theory of the labor market and Clower's partial disequilibrium analysis of the commodity market were examined in depth. The bulk of the literature review was devoted to the general disequilibrium model of income...
Show moreIn this thesis the literature of disequilibrium macroeconomic theory was reviewed and the empirical relevance of the Keynesian interpretation of the labor demand function was examined and contrasted to the disequilibrium interpretation of Barro and Grossman, Patinkin's disequilibrium theory of the labor market and Clower's partial disequilibrium analysis of the commodity market were examined in depth. The bulk of the literature review was devoted to the general disequilibrium model of income and employment determination developed by Barro and Grossman. Barra and Grossman's criticism of Keynes for predicting a negatively sloped labor demand function was analyzed using regression analysis to estimate the function. Barro and Grossman's criticism was found to be based on insufficient evidence, and evidence presented in this thesis supported the Keynesian position.

Show moreCorporate diversification is a core topic in Financial Economics. The desire to better understand why a firm elects to diversify as opposed to increase in scale is the motivation of this dissertation. To accomplish this goal I test a number of dynamic models of corporate diversification, with similar predictions, to better understand the dynamic choice to diversify. I find that several previously untested models do indeed provide insight as to why a firm would diversify (Essay One). In particular two firm traits, firm talent which I use the proxy of organization capital and asset specificity which I use the proxy of asset tangibility, are strongly related to propensity of the firm to engage in corporate diversification for the first time.

Show moreThis research explores the attitudes held by marketing managers about building their company's corporate reputation, and about the impact of their actions on performance. In an environment of costly brand building, declining customer loyalty, and increasing scrutiny from stakeholders who demand corporate responsibility and transparency, a concern for corporate reputation is increasingly important for everyone in the company, including marketing managers. The marketing literature, however, has not explored how managers who are concerned about the reputation of their companies can effectively adapt marketing strategy for reputation enhancement. The theoretical justification for this research is grounded in stakeholder theory, dynamic capabilities theory, and strategic choice theory. The study contributes to the marketing strategy literature and the nascent field of stakeholder marketing. It makes a theoretical connection between the corporate-level construct of reputation orientation, and its impact on functional-level decisions about marketing strategy. Reputation orientation is the concern that top management and employees share about their company's commitment to nurturing a positive corporate reputation among key stakeholders. A scale for reputation was conceptually defined and empirically tested (Churchill, 1979). It consists of three dimensions: consciously created corporate identity, internal identity dissemination, and external stakeholder impact. Reputation orientation was found to be a valid and reliable construct that was further tested within the framework of how marketing managers formulate, implement, and evaluate their strategic marketing decisions. This research also tested the impact of stakeholder-conscious marketing strategy on corporate reputation and marketing performance., The results from the empirical research indicate that organizations with a reputation orientation devise and select marketing strategies that focus on the needs and concerns of customers and other key stakeholders. Reputation orientation guides a stakeholder-conscious marketing strategy, such that marketing strategy decisions take into consideration both the impacts on corporate reputation and marketing performance without sacrificing either. The implications for marketing practice is that marketing managers can deliberately choose marketing strategies that build a strong corporate reputation by considering the concerns of customers and other key stakeholders at the earliest stages of marketing strategy formulation.

Show moreAnimal rights organizations, in attempting to affect institutional change in industrial animal agriculture, face an institutional mountain. I show how these organizations, though contesting institutions which are highly reified, tacitly endorsed, and historically inertial, leverage emotional experiences and regulation to incrementally move this mountain. Using a grounded qualitative study of interview data from animal rights advocates and archival data generated by animal rights organizations, this study finds that animal rights organizations have encoded both response- and antecedent-focused emotion regulation into two distinct strategies used to garner support for their institutional change project: transgression mining and seed planting. Furthermore, this study expounds upon the role of moral emotional experiences in the individual-level process by which persons alternate into support for animal rights organizations and their goals, here labeled autodidactic frame alignment. Drawing on Goffman’s backstage/frontstage distinction, this study illustrates how emotion’s role in institutional change efforts varies across both level of analysis and areas of interactive life. In doing so, this research adds empirical weight to and extends recent theoretical work expounding upon the emotionally-charged nature of the lived experience of institutions.

The current economic crisis has affected all aspects of life, which has resulted in political instability, personal financial troubles, and a growing number of business bankruptcies. While these are serious issues, simply developoing a government policy that injects an economy with money is not an appropriate means to achieve economic recovery and long-term economic development unless combined with an effective and efficient governing system.

Show moreThe current economic crisis has affected all aspects of life, which has resulted in political instability, personal financial troubles, and a growing number of business bankruptcies. While these are serious issues, simply developoing a government policy that injects an economy with money is not an appropriate means to achieve economic recovery and long-term economic development unless combined with an effective and efficient governing system. The present research studies whether the strong relationship between governance and growth exists during economic crises or only during non-crisis periods. The results of the current research show that the global economic crisis has had an influence on the relationship between governance and economic growth. In addition, this study found that different levels of development affect the relationship between governance and growth differently during times of crisis. Consequently, the results of the current research show the instability in the relationship between governance and economic growth during the economic crisis ; this unsteadiness is a sign of the need for long-term strategies to promote global and national good governance practices that are not adversely affected by crises.
