Craftsmanship VS Modern Management

In our second lecture we were introduced on a concept so called Modern management.

In Modern management we focused on more systematic process and roles of different levels in organization is very clear where the deciding factor lies in the top management level.

Craftsmanship	Modern Management
Top level management	Top level Management
Decision
Doing	Doing
Workforce	Workforce

The above table show that the key decision making was with workforce in craftsmanship while its not in the Modern Management.

To learn this concept , Mandi Sir ask us to give perform a case study where we have to build a tower of cubes. In this case study first open eyed person where ask  to build a tower using cubes and later on a blind folded person to do the same

task.

The person with open eyed here was showing the craftsmanship concept where he has to take his own decision when shall he needs to to stop and how he shall make the arrangements of blocks so that he can be able to build a tower as high as possible. He was able to make tower of 22 blocks.

Now, It was blind folded person's turn to build the tower using blocks. Even we were curious to see that the theory I just have explained in the introduction which was introduced to us by Mandi sir is correct or not. Many of us would have think that it is highly impossible for a blind folded person to build a tower more than 22 blocks. Even when Mandi sir asks us to bet upon the total no of blocks, the maximum block one had said was 15 blocks. But the actual result was way too different from our perception.

As you can see in the above picture , the blind folded person where able to build tower with more than 22 blocks . The tower he build was of 26 blocks. Apart from Mandi sir everyone were surprised because in this case to perform task there was 3 people:  CEO, Manager and Worker. CEO was the one who took the strategy decision and Manger who was making decisions with possible arrangements of blocks so as to build the tower. Worker do not have to make any decision but need to work as per the decision by their CEO and Manger.

It was because of the different levels in organisation which helps them to achieve their goals

Parameter	Craftsmanship	Modern Management
Work	Work Load increases since single person works	Work Load is shared
Skill	Increases since single person does all work	Skill decreases since work is share
Satisfaction	High	less
Productivity	Less	High
