Introduction Of Organization Management and Craftsmanship.

It was the another class of Prof. Mandi and I was now very much excited for his another lectures. I was hoping for another session of fun learning. This time again Professor Mandi arrived with a bag which has two boxes in it. These two boxes has several small pieces of wooden cubes. He distributed those cubes among us to observe. After that he started the bidding process , in which winner will get a chance to make the tower as high as possible by using these small cubes. The deal was finalized  in 500 Rupees. As one of the student who won the deal was busy building the tower, Professor Mandi asked that whether Organization management was involved in this process of building a tower by a single person. Most of us responded in YES.!!!. But actually according to the professor it was a NO.

Demonstrating the Example of Craftsmanship.

Then Professor Mandi told us that there is no Organization Management in craftsmanship. If a single person is doing conventional work to support his per day living, then he is known as craftsman and this type of work is known as Primitive Work. Since it do not involve a group of person and he is doing no good for the society,  it is not an Organization Management. For example, if there is a shoe maker who mends the shoes of others has no Organization Management but if there is a group of people who are constructing a bridge on the river, for the people so that they can cross the river easily definitely has the structure of Organization Management. All the jargon of the management such as society, specialization, profitability, revenue, culture etc. will not be there in craftsmanship.

So, now  to demonstrate the process of actual Organization Management, he called about seven students who will be building the tower. But he kept one condition that only one person building the tower with his eyes blind folded , rest all others member will guide him to build the tower. The process started, after few minutes a tower of  seven cubes high was made, while in attempt built it more big it felled. Prof. Mandi then asked the experience of the person who was blind folded and building the tower, he told that there was lots of suggestion from the different people that eventually it converted into noise and created confusion and as a result the objective of building big  tower failed. So, by this activity he gave us lesson that too many middle manger who do nothing brings down the efficiency of a group or organization .This is the currently the scenario of most of the Organization. It is actually true. If a organization has too many middle managers and if they are contributing nothing in the favor of organization then it is better to remove them. In an company there are lower level employees, manager in the middle and top class manager. It is ideal structure of  Organization Management but if in middle we have too many manager with no or low efficiency, then this tends to disturb the structure of Organization Management.

So, this was all about the Introduction of Organization Management and Craftsmanship with examples. I will come with more lesson on this topic.
