division of work in Domino's
Answers
Answer:
Each franchise and store may follow each of the principles differently between each other. Having had worked at two different stores/franchises, I’ll give my knowledge as I look over each principle.
Division of work - In general, there are really only two divisions being handled at Domino's stores, In-store work and Driver work. As such, Drivers are constantly doing deliveries and in-stores are making pizzas and keeping the store clean. There is a lot of blend though with some stores. In my current store, drivers aren’t trained to make pizzas whereas my first store trained drivers to do everything. My consensus is that Domino’s stores don’t follow this one well.
Authority and Responsibility - This one gets followed well.
Discipline - I’ve seen not be as effective in some cases. Sometimes I’ve seen disciplinary actions not taken far enough but also done well. In general, this is well followed.
Unity of Command - Not followed well. While tasks being done are easily noticed and tasks are assigned to people that aren’t currently busy, when multiple managers are in the store at once there is no unity being followed.
Subordination of Individual Interest - Followed well.
Remuneration - Not followed well. While there are some franchises that do this better than others, there is little incentive given to those that do well in the stores.
The Degree of Centralization - Some franchises do this better than others. In my current store, the General Manager complains about how she has little say in what happens in her store.
Scalar Chain - Followed well.
Order - There are situations that make it difficult to follow this one. Store size/available space and franchise responsiveness to fixing certain issues can make or break this one.
Equity - Depends on the manager.
Stability of Tenure of Personnel - Not followed well. This one is difficult to follow due to the nature and stigma of the job type. Employee turnover is frequently happening.
Initiative - Not followed. Lower employees are given no freedom to deviate from the set requirements of the company.
Esprit de Corps - Not followed. Having come from a Papa Murphy’s store where there was an emphasis on it being a team effort, the Domino’s stores that I came from made you feel isolated.
Side note: I didn’t have any previous knowledge of the 14 principles of management. I became interested in your question as I haven’t heard of the principles before and I am becoming an assistant manager at my store soon so I wanted to look it up. So sorry if my explanations are a bit off from the proper definition of each principle.
