Problems
Management,
Human Resources And Organizational Behavior
A
recommendation is to comprehend why, when
and how management shakeups take place,
how they impact the company from top to
bottom and when. Procter & Gamble, Citigroup,
Gateway, AOL Time Warner are just some of
the examples of companies that have recently
gone through some interesting management
changes.
It
is also helpful to be on top of labor laws,
how they came about and why they change.
For
example, understanding why Procter &
Gamble chose John Pepper to succeed the
reputed Prince of Darkness himself, Ed Artzt,
only to replace the likeable Pepper with
militiaman Durk Jager later on is important.
This will help you understand how the balance
between people and profit is often manipulated.
Assessing
why the mega-merger between Citicorp and
Travelers Group led to the departure of
heir apparent Jamie Dimon will better explain
corporate turf battles. Dimon was widely
seen as the successor for both Travelers
Group's Sandy Weill and Citicorp's John
Reed. He left and eventually wound up at
Bank One. But if people are everything why
would Reed and Weill let the young Dimon
go? These are the lessons that once understood,
will make you into a well-rounded businessperson.
Merely knowing what the definitions are
will not.
