Today in this blog I am going to write about the differences between the Craftsmanship and Organization management as discussed by Prof. Mandi in the class. I have discussed the overview of both in the previous post with some examples. As our sessions are proceding further , the concepts of Organization and Management is getting more clear. Prof. Mandi has very well stated the differences between Craftsmanship and Organization Management with few examples. First I will discuss the characterstics of Craftsmanship and then characteristics of Organization Management . In this way the differences between two will be more clear So, the characteristics of Craftsmanship goes like this.
1. In Craftsmanship only single person is involved in carrying out his task and that too in a very primitive way.
2. Craftsman focuses only a certain group of person , for example a shoemaker mends the shoes of person, he is not focusing on majority of person.
3. The objective of shoemaker is just to earn his one day of living. The satisfaction level in this case
is very high.
4. There is no parallelism in the work of craftsmanship which means that the worker do not look for the optimization of resources and time efficiency. He follows a very primitive process to complete his task.
5. In Craftsmanship worker is only the sole boss of his work.
6. For a worker in craftsmanship, his art of doing a work is just like black box to him i.e. he actually do not know what more he can make out of his ability. It is here , worker loses the vision to do something big.
7. There is no interdependency in work of craftsmanship since only a single person is doing.
Modern Management term is totally opposite to that of Craftsmanship.
1. In mordern management there are group of people involved in doing a work and they work together in coordination to acheive the goal which they had set.
2. Modern Management carry out objectives which focusses the large nuber of people or which adds value to the society. For e.g. group of people working on building the bridge on the river. Now suppose when this bridge becomes operational, it can benefit a huge mass of people . So, Modern Management contributes a lot to the society.
3. In Modern Management alienation is high.
4. The work is distributed to each and every person in Modern Management and this brings parallelism in work. So, there is efficiency as well as optimization of resources in Modern Management.
5. In Modern Management non-worker is sole boss.
6. Here the non-worker understands the art of people or worker which is the black box to craftsman and so he decomposes the work to its lowest level, distributes the work and optimizes it .
7. There is inter-dependency involved in it because it is carried out by certain group of people in sequence. For e.g. in making car , organization has certain teams allocated for different kinds of work.Suppose, Team 1 has work of creating the body of a car, Team 2 has to install the engine in it, Team 3 has technology oriented work in the car. So, as long as Team 1 will not complete its work, it can not be proceeded to Team 2 for further development. So, this is known as interdependency of work.
8. Modern Management also Deskills the process. So that more and more people are made to do work. In Modern Management there more of process based person technique.
So this was all about the differences between Craftsmanship and Modern Management.
Prof. Mandi also gave us the concepts of 3 "E"s which means Effectiveness Efficiency and Excellence. He also gave us the simple formula which is -
Excellence = Efficiency * Effectiveness.
He told us to understands this concept like Speed * Direction. Everyone should work for excellence and for that effectiveness is much important factor . Efficiency describes the capability to produce maximum output with a minimum amount of input. Being efficient means producing results with little wasted effort. It is the ability to carry out actions quickly. On the other hand, Effectiveness is the capability to produce a desired result. When something is considered effective, it is meant to produce a deep vivid impression. Effectiveness involves achieving your goals that support your vision and mission. Therefore this brings us to the Excellence. One of the example of excellence are the Apple products.
