13 competitive forces

Gen Mgt

the external business and economic factors that compel an organization to improve its competitiveness

The ultimate business dictionary > competitive forces
14 competitive intelligence

Gen Mgt

data gathered to improve an organization’s competitive capacity. Competitive intelligence may include, for example, information about competitors’ plans, activities, or products, and may sometimes be gained through industrial espionage. Such information can have a significant impact on a company’s own plans: it could limit the effectiveness of a new product launch, or identify growing threats to important accounts, for example. Unless organizations monitor competitor activity and take appropriate action, their business faces risk.

15 corporate governance

Gen Mgt

16 Deming Prize

Gen Mgt

an annual award to a company that has achieved significant performance improvement through the successful application of company-wide quality control. The Deming Prize was established in recognition of the work carried out by W. Edwards Deming in postwar Japan to improve manufacturing quality by reducing the potential for error. The Deming Prize has been awarded annually since 1951 by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers. Contenders have to be able to demonstrate that, by applying the disciplines outlined by the assessment components, the productivity, growth, and financial performance of the organization have been improved. Entrants require substantial resource in order to be able to submit their entry, which can take years to prepare. The focus of the Deming Prize reflects a rigor for the identification and elimination of defects through teamwork. The prize was also the first to apply the process of self-assessment, which has been adopted by other models such as the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the EFQM Excellence Model.

The ultimate business dictionary > Deming Prize
17 feedback

Gen Mgt

the communication of responses and reactions to proposals and changes, or of the findings of performance appraisals with the goal of enabling improvements to be made. Feedback can be either positive or negative. In the context of performance evaluation or performance appraisal, positive feedback should be delivered to reinforce good performance, whereas negative feedback should be intended to correct or improve poor performance. Feedback that is delivered inappropriately can be very demotivating, so good communication skills are a prerequisite.

18 Hawthorne experiments

Gen Mgt

a series of studies undertaken at the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric in the United States from which Elton Mayo concluded that an approach emphasizing employee participation can improve productivity. The Hawthorne experiments began in 1924 as a study conducted by the National Research Council into the relationship between workplace lighting and employee efficiency, and was then extended to include wage incentives and rest periods. It was found that whatever variations were applied upward or downward, output rose, and this was termed the Hawthorne effect. The increased productivity was attributed to several causes, including small group size, earnings, the novelty of being part of an experiment, and the increased attention given to the employees being studied. The style of the supervisor, which was relaxed and friendly, in contrast to the then standard practice, was found to be particularly important. In a second group of employees, however, it was observed that, as the experiments progressed, output was restricted, and that whatever the incentive, the group showed a resistance to it. In 1929, and 1930, Elton Mayo visited Hawthorne. He linked supervisory style and levels of morale with productivity. High productivity resulted from an engaged supervisory style that encouraged participation. Low productivity resulted when a supervisor remained remote and retained a traditional supervisory role. The Hawthorne experiments established the importance of management style and interpersonal skills to organizational success.

20 neurolinguistic programming

Gen Mgt

an approach to recognizing, applying, developing, and reproducing behavior, thought processes, and ways of communicating that contribute to success.

It is popular in the business environment, where its influencing techniques can help organizations implement change initiatives, improve communication and management skills, and develop training techniques.
