Preface

T
his set of textbook and teacher’s manual for Organization
and Management is about the management and managers of
organizations. All organizations—no matter the kind, size, or
location—need good mana­gers in order to successfully achieve their
organizational goals and objectives. As future managers, students
must realize that managers have to deal with the ever-changing world,
hence, management styles must also be dynamic in order to adapt to
these inevitable changes. This course, Organization and Management,
and this textbook reflect those changes and will help students become
ideal managers who will be ready to face the world’s varying challenges.

This management course and this textbook is described as an


introduction to the realm of management, covering many topics that
are discussed quickly—without delving too deeply into each topic—to
provide the basic information that could guide your student to succeed
in their future management tasks. The authors of this textbook and
you as a teacher act as leaders and partners that help students under-
stand this preparatory course, helping them become successful future
managers of organizations.

What is expected from students of this course? They are expected


to competently fulfill their class requirements, read and understand
the contents of this textbook, to realize the importance of the topics
discussed, and to apply the simple management problems presented
in this textbook in real-life situations.

Finally, encourage students to make full use of the learning expe-


riences they will acquire from the contents of this textbook, from class
discussions and from assignments done, as these will strongly influence
the kind of managers they will become.

C. Teaching Tips on Selected Topics


1. Exploring Students’ Prior knowledge
A diagnostic test covering the contents of this Chapter may be administered. The purpose of
this is to assess what students already know about the topics, what they know little or nothing
about, and what misconceptions they might have, if any.
2. In connection with the roles of managers in bringing managerial success in organizations, it
would be wise to bring in a discussion of Managerial Roles, Skills, and Competencies.
The following ideas will be helpful:
a. Managerial success in this ever-changing business world requires mastery of managerial
roles: interpersonal, informational, decisional.
b. Managerial success also requires, besides leadership and liaison work with their sub-
ordinates, interpersonal networking with other persons outside their organization to
accomplish their goals/objectives.
c. Managerial success starts with the learning of managerial skills and competencies,
which in turn requires the taking of complete advantage of the organization’s training
and development programs, as well as daily personal and job experiences.
d. Essential managerial skills are, in general, described as: conceptual, ability to analyze
and solve complex problems; human, the ability to work well with others; and technical,
ability to use expertise.
e. The building blocks for managerial success are the following skills: communications,
team work, self-management, leadership, critical thinking, and professionalism.
f. Managerial competency is a skill-based capability that contributes to high performance
in doing managerial work.

get involved with teams and teamwork as: team leader/supervisor, facilitator of a team acting
as a specific task force, helpful participant in a team project, and external coach/sponsor of
a problem solving team. Correct positioning of the manager and the team members indicate
the students’ perceptions of the manager’s involvement/role in teamwork

Ask the students to agree or disagree with the following statements by putting a check
mark on their chosen answer. Seven Agree answers will show the students’ sufficient or
average understanding of the foundations for managerial success. Eight to nine Agree an-

E. Answer Keys:
Task 1
According to the book Go Negosyo (2006) the following CEOs/Presidents gave business lessons
that are worth remembering.
1. CEO/President – Henry Sy – SM Investments Corporation
Mr. Henry Sy knew the importance of planning, setting a vision, practicing proper deci-
sion-making, and using his conceptual skills, regarding the overcoming of obstacles to the smooth
running of their business. His belief in continuous non-stop growing showed that the honing or
developing of technical skills was also important to him.
Tried to overcome obstacles and did not give up easily,
Believed that one must not stop growing
2. President – Tony Tan Caktiong – Jollibee Food Corporation
He believed that being big does not guarantee victory; listening to customers’ needs is im-
portant; and a good offense is sometimes the best defense. Jollibee became what it has become
now because of hard work and determination of people working towards the achievement of
their organization’s vision.
Mr. Tony Tan Caktiong practiced good leading functions by inspiring his subordinates to

6
work hard and be determined to work towards the achievement of their organization’s vision
and giving them good business values like listening to what the customers are suggesting to
them to improve their products and services. He also showed conceptual skills and good plan-
ning when he was able to define strategic actions that they could use to be able to compete with
McDonald’s, a well-known brand.
3. President/CEO – Cecilio Kwok Pedro – Lamoiyan Corporation
He believed that one can turn crisis into opportunity; it is not impossible to play against a
giant and survive even when success and bigness comes; the entrepreneurial mind must continue;
and there is no conflict practicing one’s faith and running a successful enterprises.
Mr. Cecilio Pedro’s conceptual skills enable him to think out of the box and this was shown
when he put up a business that would have as its principal rival, a giant in the dental care industry.
He made use of his human skills when he hired employees who were deaf-mutes. He showed
his technical skills when he used his expertise to produce products that could compete with the
products of his business competitors.
4. President – Margarita Flores – Cibo Inc.
She maintained that one must be hands-on and obsessive about details; holding on to one’s
initial vision is important before taking the leap of faith, one must keep on moving forward, so
competitors cannot easily catch up with one’s business.
5. CEO – Johnlu Koa – French Baker
He believed that: understanding the essence is fundamental to entrepreneurship, a network
that gives support in starting helps, enterprise mastery will ensure that the opportunity is seized
Mr. Johnlu Koa emphasized that relating well with others or exercising human skills gives
support when starting and maintaining a business. His belief in enterprise mastery was used
when he exercised his leading functions to inspire subordinates to seize business opportunities.
Ms. Gaita Flores gave importance to strategic management practices when she emphasized
that holding on to the firms initial vision before planning anything else. As a CEO leading her
subordinates, she inspired them to do their best by advocating detail orientation and continuous
growth that would inevitably result in their organization’s growth.

Task 2
Personal Managerial Skills Classmate’s Managerial Skills
Human Skills Human Skills
relating well with people; relating well with people;
communicating, leading, communicating skills only
inspiring, motivating them

Student’s Personal Managerial Human Skills are similar to Classmate’s. Both have human
skills because of similarities in age, education level and social environment. Possible explana-
tion for differences regarding leading, motivating, and inspiring skills may be due to personal
qualities and opportunities.

C. Teaching Tips on Selected Topics
1. Exploring Students’ Prior Knowledge
A diagnostic test covering the contents of this Chapter may be administered. The purpose of
this is to assess what students already know about the topics, what they know little or nothing
about, and what misconceptions they might have, if any.
2. In connection with the study of the firm’s environment, it is suggested to bring in the topic
“Competitive Environment” that can affect strategic business decisions that managers have
to make.
The following ideas will be helpful in discussing the topic:
a. The competitive environment refers to specific groups of people with which the com-
pany/firm interacts.
b. The company’s customers, rival firms, new entrants, substitutes, and suppliers make-up
the firm’s competitive environment forces.
c. The above-mentioned competitive environment forces have the power to influence the
nature of the competition among rival companies so the firm must learn to adapt to or
influence also the said competition.
d. The less power each of these competitive environment forces have, the more profitable
the industry will be.
e. The firm’s managers must be able to identify the varying needs of its customers and
focus on creating customer value.
f. The firm must also know the answers to the questions “who are our rival companies?”
“who are the new entrants to the industry?” “what are their different or new and better
ways of providing value to customers?”
g. The firm must realize that the substitutes are the biggest opportunity or threat in an
industry and this implies that they may have to think of new strategies to compete with
them (For example, landline phones have cell phones as substitutes).
h. The firm must also realize the importance of their suppliers that provide them with major
inputs: raw materials for manufacturing of goods, money from investors and financial
institutions, and people who supply them with new ideas and help in the production of
goods and services that they offer.
3. Selected activities on studying the topic “Competitive Environment”
a. Demonstration. Ask the students to use colored pencils to show the diagrammatic
framework of the firm and its competitive environment forces.
b. Students will find it interesting to identify and list down the customers, rival firms, new
entrants, substitutes, and suppliers of Philippine Airlines (PAL) or any known Philippine
Company listed among the top 100 Philippine Corporations.
