Essay title: In Semester 1 we consider the origins and continuing relevance of various management theories. ‘Discuss how two insights from management theory, addressed in semester 1, are relevant for managers and/ or for understanding organisations today.’ Within your essay you need to cover the following: 1. Briefly introduce and explain two insights: the two insights must be from two topic areas listed below: – Weber – Marx – Scientific management (Taylor and Gilbreth) – Mayo and the Hawthorne investigations – The Human relations Movement and STS – Motivation theories. 2. Discuss how these two insights can be considered relevant for managers/ understanding organisations today by making reference to at least one 21st century organisation. When writing your essay, you may wish to consider the following questions: What was the context in which this theory/ insight developed? (i.e. the context in which this founding figure/ management theorist was writing/ issues they were responding to?)
How have these ideas about management been used/ developed/ modified/ challenged by other writers/ scholars?
What evidence is there that these ideas are still present in organisations today (and are therefore still ‘relevant’ for managers?)
Further general instructions: Your answer must make reference to:
o relevant academic literature (we expect to see references made to the sources in the reading list) o at least one 21st century organisation (NB In seminars we will look at how to use relevant evidence both from academic literature and from organisations to support your argument) Your essay must be referenced appropriately using the format, Harvard at Newcastle.
Your essay should be analytical and discursive, not simply a description (we will also talk about how to do this in seminars).
