First week‘s harvest

This week I have acquired lots of knowledge about organization and management. Firstly, Vishal gave us a lecture about this topic which gives us a general picture , and then we have seminars to gain a better understanding of organization and management ,digest it as better as possible. Actually, I don’t know what is a seminar before I went to Sussex, when I begin to engage in a seminar, it is a fantastic experience for me .it is a bit challenging, but very effectual and interesting, Before I came to a seminar, I will make adequate preparations,because I want to adjust myself as fast as I can to get used to it, then I can handle it very well.

Turning to what I have understood on organization. Organization is a social arrangement for achieving controlled performance towards goals that creat value(controlled performance it means responsibility is allocated very well).Common features of organization includes people, objectives, management, structure and culture(the style of the organization),this five features is so essential to the organization. From my perspective, if an organization is able to do the best in these five parts , it is certain that this organization is a good one. Let me take a example.

ASDA: public limited company.

this is what I have understood about Asda organization.

This diagram made by myself expresses ASDA is a decision driven organization which includes five features (mighty leadership, distinct responsibility system, high performance culture, excellent execution and fully displayed talents).At the same time ,it also shows that the structure of Asda is sound and the management is effectual(because people is assigned to a suitable place and play their talents very well),it is like a chain reaction, every step is vital. So in my opinion Asda is a successful organization since it does so well in these five area.

   From this week’s learning ,I gradually begin to think in different profiles or angels and form a habit of critical thinking. Stay hungry, stay foolish !
