On the subject of personal development, which company E. should encourage, McGill and Beaty (2001, pp. 85-86) write that in addressing personal development issues, an employer could devise a forum for workers to bring their issues forward. The one rule would be that the issue "is of significance" to the employee; the issues that could be discussed in the personal development session include: "personal motivation towards work"; relationships between managers and colleagues; priorities for one's self and the staff overall; the work direction of the near future. 53), and those dynamics "lead to modifications and the emergence of new forms." The bottom line for company E, is, doing the evaluation of what went wrong, setting sail for a brighter, smarter way of managing resources, and welcoming the modifications needed to deal with the forces within and without the organization which both resist and encourage change. It is pivotal for company E. To understand that profits alone to not reflect a company's vision for growth and success.
Beyond personal development, another important concept is management development, which Burgoyne and Reynolds describe (p. 21) which is less "theoretical" and more "practical" than management learning, though both would be important to company E. In setting the stage for a better business future. "Management development tends to develop personal knowledge, repertoires and skills (e.g., time management, stress management, assertiveness, team work, presentations, influencing, negotiating, selling, personal development, counselling, interpersonal skills)."
And management education tends to develop "analytical and critical skills in the academic disciplines relevant to management." Those skills include operations management, economics, finance, organization theory, accounting, research, among others.
While many of the concepts mentioned thus far provide tools and keys to company E's ability to bounce back from its doldrums, without an understanding of how the organizational culture of a company influences its effectiveness or lack of effectiveness, company E. will remain in the dark. The culture of an organization includes "beliefs about the way work should be organized, the way authority should be exercised, people rewarded, people controlled" (Guirdham 2002, p. 46). It has been stated, Guirdham continues on page 47, that "structure, strategy or politics" are not prime movers of an organization, but rather the "organizational culture" is the prime mover.
