Reflections on Lindblom and some present observations

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The year 2009 was the 50th anniversary of the seminal paper written by Charles Lindblom. In effect, he described “real life” policy formulation and rationalized how simple appreciation of the process could lead to better policy. That paper remains relevant because of the expressed equivalence between decision making and policy formulation. The four publications of Lindblom associated with muddling are reviewed here and reflected in four studies involving this author in Sweden as viewed through the lens of Lindblom. Situations involving after-sales service, creative projects, buyer behavior under conditions of uncertainty and crises in projects were found to relate to Lindblom’s basic theses as well as some observations in present business education. Clearly, tenets of Lindblom’s work remain applicable in aspects of present business operations.

On the shoulders of giants : Drucker on management
- 2010
-
In: HRM Review. - : IUP Publications online. ; , s. 17-21
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- For this issue, we turn to Peter F Drucker, the father of management for a basic understanding of management. Specifically, we look at his assertions concerning the functions of a business and the role knowledge players have in these businesses. Clearly, these topics are of interest and importance because executives continually find themselves redefining their businesses in terms of available resources and competition, depending more and more upon knowledge workers. The material is also put into some perspective with regard to our own research findings and recommendations made for today's managers or executives.

Projects and profits
- 2010
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Multi-project firms exist to make a profit from their project activities. This article addresses issues associated with profits and projects, which we acknowledge is undoubtedly the 'primary' concern of multi-project organizations. Independent, academic studies in the area would be most welcome. The main reason they are probably not available is that standard accounting treatment does not capture information at the project level. Nevertheless, there are reasons to believe that profitability of projects would conform to an 80-20 rule, and longitudinal studies might show that firms become less, rather than more, profitable with age. Further, first time projects may be a nemesis for firms. Of course, empirial verification of these observations could lead to more effective management of multi-project firms.
