Management theory
Imagine that you are a manager at an American steel mill, textile factory, or one of Ford’s plants in the early twentieth century. Your factory employs thousands of workers. This is a scale of enterprise unprecedented in Western history. Many of your employees were raised in agricultural communities. Industrial routines are new to them. Many of your employees, as well, are immigrants from other lands. They do not speak English well, if at all.
Your managerial effectiveness depends on how well you understand what it is that is important to these people. Current‐day challenges parallel some of those faced in the early twentieth century. In the 1980s 8.7 million foreign nationals entered the U.S. and joined the labor market. They often have distinct needs for skills and language proficiency, much as those before them at the advent of the industrial age.
1). As a manager under the above circumstances, expound on ways and techniques you can use to develop great working relationships with these people to ensure high productivity. Your answer should focus on management theory.
