Rajiv has just graduated from a management institute in Rajasthan and has joined his family’s small business which employs 25 semi skilled workers. During the 1st week on the job, his dad called him in and said, “Rajiv I had a chance to observe you working with the men and women for the past two days and although I hate to, I feel I must say something. You are just too nice to people. I know this human behavior stuff have been taught to you in the institute, but it just does not work here. I remember that when we discussed the Hawthorne studies when I was in the institute everybody there got exicted,but believe me ,there is more to managing people than just being nice to them.”
Questions:-
1. How would you react to fathers comment if you were Rajiv?
2. Do you think Rajiv’s father understood and interpreted the
Hawthorne studies correctly?
3. How would you explain to your father the new perspective that is
needed for a business to be successful?
4. Do you think Rajiv’s father understands the significance of recent
trends in management thought and how these affect his business?
