PERSPECTIVE MANAGEMENT: SYSTEMIC THINKING AND VALUE SYNERGY NECESSITY

Journal Title: Problems of Management in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 5

Abstract

We can surely assert that over the last two decades a very significant attention has been paid to management. It is great that more and more attention is paid to the systemic approach in management (Robinson, 1996; Jackson, 2003; Bellinger, 2004; Cyrus, 2010). It is obvious, that there are many approaches to management, for example, problem solving style, situational approach, effective steering etc. And not only to management, but also to adjacent, management related spheres. Systemic approach is reasonably considered to be as cornerstone to management. On the one hand, this is bound to common systemic society life changes. Such topics as knowledge economy, learning society, information society and so on… are constantly accentuated. On the other hand, in some countries management as a science was basically “beyond the boundaries” of cognition. First of all, this can be said about East and Central Europe countries, in other words, still called post-soviet countries up to now. Though, the latter term is neither true nor full of sense in many respects. Not without a reason, in the public discourse of these countries the opinion is still vital that the manager is the one who is hardly able to do a thing himself. Even quite practically we can analyse a simple example. Social science field study programmes “have been in the leading position” in Lithuanian higher education for almost two decades already. It is interesting, that in many cases, fewer difficulties in studying, is pointed out as the main motive. We can agree with Gary Hamel (2007), that today more than ever, organisations need brave management innovations. Modern management model orientated to control and productivity doesn’t suit in the world where business success is determined by adjustment and creativity. Thus, it is believed that discussions on these mentioned and not mentioned management questions will go on in these journal pages. One thing is obvious, that values become one of the most significant and perspective instruments of management effectiveness and optimisation. Value institutionalisation in the organisations is one of the most important guarantors of their effective activity.
