Institutional Theory Three processes lead organizations to become more similar
over time:
• Coercive isomorphism
•organizations adopt norms because of pressures
exerted by other organizations and by society in general
(affirmative action, environmental protection)
• Mimetic isomorphism
•organizations intentionally imitate and copy one another
to increase their legitimacy
(new medical practices, advertising approaches)
• Normative isomorphism
•organizations indirectly adopt the norms and values of
other organizations in the environment
(IT professionals carry practices from one organization to
another)

Negative Effects
• Bad practices spread
• Outdated practices may be institutionalized
• Innovation stifled in strongly isomorphic field
Positive Effects
• Leads to stability
• Provides legitimacy

Organizational Characteristics
During the Life Cycle
• ENTREPRENEURIAL STAGE:
– Personal control systems
– Innovation by owner/manager
– Goal: Survival
– Management style: Entrepreneurial
– Crisis: Lack of/Need for leadership
![Page 10: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

• COLLECTIVITY STAGE:
– Personal rewards aimed at individuals who contribute to
organizational success
– Innovation from employees and managers
– Goal: Growth
– Management style: Charismatic, directive
– Crisis: Lack of/need for delegation
![Page 11: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Organization Growth:
Is Bigger Better?
• Pressures for Growth
– Organization goals
– Economies of scale
– Executive advancement
– Economic health
![Page 12: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Size and Structural Characteristics
As Organizations get bigger:
• Complexity increases
• Centralization decreases
• Formalization increases
• Flexibility decreases
![Page 13: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Large Vs. Small: How can you be
both?
• Structural reorganization (split up)
• Smaller headquarters staff (decentralize)
• Subsidiaries/spin-offs that can act small
• Skunkworks to develop new products
• Support intrapreneurship within the firm
![Page 14: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bigger may not be better!
• Growth is difficult to maintain.
– A $100K company has to generate $10K to grow by 10%.
– A $100B company has to generate $10B to grow by the same 10%
– In the 1990s, what percentage of publicly-traded firms increased their revenues and profit by an average of 10% a year?
• Growth can stretch a firm too thin.
– A 20% growth rate per year means a firm doubles in size in less than four years.
![Page 15: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bigger may not be better!
• What determines a firm’s size?
– Market Cap?
– Employees?
– Profits?
– Market share?
– Revenues?
• The wrong choice can lead to seriously negative consequences.

Organizational Decline and Death
Occurs when an organization fails to anticipate, recognize, avoid, neutralize, or adapt to external or internal pressures that threaten its long-term survival
![Page 20: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Organizational Decline and
Downsizing: The Causes • Organizational Atrophy
– Loss of ability to respond to changing environment
– Inefficient, bureaucratic, fat, and happy
• Organizational Vulnerability – Loss of resources
– Loss of market share
– Loss of legitimacy
• Environmental decline – Stagnating economy
– Flat/shrinking market
– Increased competition

Managing the Downsizing
• Implementation approaches must be a function of the severity and speed of decline.
• Implementation issues to consider
– Consider voluntary programs with incentives (but be careful - who might leave?)
– Over communicate - “The best surprise is no surprise.”
– Allow employees to leave with dignity
– Assist those leaving
– Use ceremonies to reduce anger/confusion
– Remember those who stay!

Key Elements of Leadership
• In the Diamond General Model of Leadership, four interconnected elements constitute leadership:
– Leader. Each leader has unique skills and attributes.
– Task. The set of tasks facing the organization, as perceived by Leader and Others. Strategic Thinking.
– Others. The followers, with skills and attributes of their own.
– Organization.
– Organizational structure and systems and culture, etc., which can help or hinder the accomplishment of tasks.
![Page 26: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
A Diamond In The Rough
Two larger concerns can be added to the Diamond model:
– Environment: The Context. Market realities, political forces, and so on have their effect on leadership.
– Results: Outcomes of Leadership. These include effectiveness, efficiency, growth, learning, and morale.
![Page 27: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Relationships Are The Key
• Relationships between the four elements of the Diamond model are the key to successful leadership. – Leader and Task: determines, describes or represents the leader’s
vision.
– Leader and Others: determines degree of influence leader has over followers.
– Others and Organization: determines depth of employees’ attachment and commitment to the organization.
– Organization and Task: determines whether organization is well-suited to meet its challenges.
– Others and Task: determines followers’ view of what must be done.
– Leader and Organization: determines whether the leader’s style and skills make a good match with the organization.
![Page 28: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Leadership Potentialities
– Each leadership situation encompasses numerous “potentialities,” or possible analytical perspectives.
– The leader’s vision, and skill in communicating it to followers, will determine which potentiality members of the organization see.
– This, in turn, will determine organizational action and outcome.
![Page 29: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Diamond Model and What CEOs Do
One study of 160 CEOs arrived at five basic leadership foci which equate strongly with the relationships in the diamond model. – Strategy (emphasis on setting strategic direction): analogous to Leader and Task.
– Box (emphasis on organizational control systems): analogous to Others and Organization.
– Human resources (emphasis on human relationships throughout the organization): analogous to Leader and Others.
– Change (emphasis on managing change): analogous to Organization and Task.
– Expertise (emphasis on creating a competitive advantage through particular expertise): analogous to Leader and Organization.

What Do We Want to Become?
• A vision statement should answer the basic question,
“What do we want to become?”
• The vision statement should be short, preferably one
sentence, and as many managers as possible should
have input into developing the statement.
![Page 31: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

What Is Our Business?
• Mission statement
– a declaration of an organization’s “reason for being.”
– answers the pivotal question “What is our business?”
– essential for effectively establishing objectives and
formulating strategies
– reveals what an organization wants to be and whom it
wants to serve
– Also called a creed statement, a statement of
purpose, a statement of philosophy, a statement of
beliefs, and a statement of business principles
![Page 33: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mission
• A Mission Statement defines the organization's
purpose and primary objectives. Its prime
function is to define the key measure or
measures of the organization’s success.
![Page 34: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Mission Statement Creation
1) First, identify your organization’s “winning idea”- what
makes your organization stand out from its competitors
& is the reason that customers will choose your
organization over others.
2) Second, identify the key measures of your success.
(What is it that your organization has that others don’t?).
3) Create a measurable goal by combining steps 1 & 2.
REMEMBER:
– A Mission Statement should be concise and precise
which expresses your ideas, measures and desired
result.

Four Types Of Decisions
• Decisions that are made for the leader
• Decisions that the leader makes independently of others (autocratic)
• Decisions that leaders make after consultation with others (participatory)
• Decisions that leaders allow others to make (empowering)

Leadership And Decision Making
1. Leader makes decision and announces it
2. Leader “sells” the decision
3. Leader shares an idea and invites input
4. Leader presents a problem, gets input and makes the decision
5. Leader allows subordinates to use a prescribed process to make a decision

Phase 1: Clarifying
• Clarifying Phase – Clearly identify the decision to be made: why does this decision need to be made?
– Gather information: • Clarify who will be impacted by the decision (both in the short-term and long-term)
• Clearly identify who will make the decision and why. • Identify what is known (data). What information is available to assist in making the decision
• Determine what additional information and/or expertise is needed to make the decision
– By what date does the decision need to be made? Can portions of the decision be made now and rolled out in phases
– With all stakeholders that will be impacted by the decision, share who is making the decision and why they are making the decision
![Page 40: Organizational Life Cyclecampus360.iift.ac.in/Secured/Resource/125/I/MGT 09/61994131.pdf · A Comprehensive Strategic-Management Model 2-36 . Four Types Of Decisions •Decisions](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042103/5e7fe60a72141b648477030f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Phase 2: Processing
Processing Phase – Determine how the decision will be made. Will it be made through consensus, voting or some other means?
