From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i am looking for the objective information systems in human behavior organization. ♠ Looks like a personal statement without context.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 21:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't you mean George Odiorne? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.68.103 (talk) 19:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC) Probably should add a section on this man from Univ of Michigan who reknowned on the subject of MBO.--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 21:05, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Limitations

I have a lot of problems with the first sentence. "....employees' unethical behaviour of distorting the system...", uhh....this is not NPOV and poorly written to boot. If you know anything about management, you know that most organizational problems can be traced back to management. There are fewer bad employees than bad managers. So that statement should be fewed with a healthy skepticism. My experience has proven to me that managers are more likely to distort the system because they don't understand the underlying principles. Many try to implement buzz words and jargon they hear in seminars, without really learning the underlying principles and intended application. Drucker freely admits that his principles are primarily focused on businesses (for profit organizations). That doesn't mean they won't work for other organizations, but they must be viewed in context or modified. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 18:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
