Companies Must Reinvent Management to Stay Competitive, Says Julian Birkinshaw, PhD, on The Actuation Zone? Radio Show, Hosted by Change Leadership Author, Brett Clay

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 14, 2011

Change leadership expert, Brett Clay, author of 'Selling Change, 101+ Secrets for Growing Sales By Leading Change,' interviewed Julian Birkinshaw, PhD, professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at the London Business School, on The Actuation Zone? Radio Show.

The interview may be heard live at 8am Pacific time, Friday, October 14, 2011 on KRWM 106.9FM HD3 in Seattle, WA or online at ctrhotspot.com. It can also be accessed on-demand at http://actuationzone.com.

Professor Birkinshaw is the author of 'Reiventing Management, Smarter Choices for Getting Work Done' and is the co-founder, along with bestselling author Gary Hamel, of the Management Innovation Lab (MLab), a unique partnership between academia and business that is seeking to accelerate the evolution of management techniques and structures.

In the interview, Birkinshaw discusses the observations and research that have led him to conclude that most companies must reinvent their management systems to remain competitive in today's markets. He notes that the management principles commonly employed by companies date back to the Industrial Revolution. In that era standardized rules and procedures enabled companies to scale manufacturing and optimize for efficiency.

However, in the 21st century, improved communication technologies and access to a global supply of resources have not only increased the number of competitors, but have also increased the speed at which competitors move in the market. Therefore, the rules of competition have now changed from efficiency to agility. Companies now must optimize their systems for innovation and agility to remain competitive.

Birkinshaw says the choices a company makes about "how it gets work done" can be thought of as a "management model", similar to the choices a company makes about how to generate profits are thought of as a "business model". He says there are two dimensions on which to make these choices:

1) Decision-making, which ranges from "hierarchical, top-down", at one end of the spectrum, to "collective wisdom" at the other end.

2) Behavior, which ranges from bureaucratic, that is "standardized," at one end of the spectrum, to emergent, that is "self-determined," at the other end.

The tendency is to think of these choices in "either-or" contrast. However, says Birkinshaw, the smartest choices are usually "both-and," and may often be counter-intuitive. The key is to look openly at which functions would benefit from less standardization. He cites examples of companies that are de-standardizing their budgeting, expense, and performance review procedures--processes that are often the most tightly controlled and standardized.

The interview also covers future trends in management, analysis of Charles Handy's Age of Unreason predictions, and other pertinent management topics, such as current trends in M.B.A. degree programs. It concludes with Professor Birkinshaw's recommendations for three changes managers should be making, today, to improve in their businesses and careers.

In fact, the number of companies utilizing SaaShr.com?s software has increased by 77 percent in the 2011 calendar year when compared to 2010.

Manfrotto Launches New Portal Website Focused On Data Management and Integration

Bassano del Grappa, Italia (PRWEB) September 28, 2005

Manfrotto, the world?s leading manufacturer of support products for pro video and photography, is proud to announce that it has launched the first phase of its new portal website at http://www.manfrotto.com. A natural evolution of the company?s previous website, the new portal features many similarities in appearance; however, content and data integration amongst various business units has been enhanced, reflecting much more accurately the way Manfrotto operates.

For the first time, R&D, customer service, sales and marketing ? all coordinated by the Bogen Imaging distribution arm ? will use the same data. Proper processes have been incorporated throughout the new website to ensure that information is integral and unique throughout the various applications that the group uses, and that it is properly managed by those responsible for each part of its creation and maintenance. The aim is to gradually eliminate the incongruence and inaccuracy that naturally creep into systems where data is replicated in several different places. As a result, Manfrotto will provide better service to distribution partners and end users alike.

In terms of content, the Product section of the website has been updated to cover the range of the 1,000+ products currently available from Manfrotto. This is made possible by the portal's seamless integration with the company's ERP, which has been restructured to include much more in-depth product information, specs, features and suggestions for use including a series of "How To" lessons and pointers on how to get the most from support equipment in real life situations. In addition, presentation and categorization of products is gradually being aligned between the web, catalogues and marketing for better consistency.

The Spare Parts section of the new website opens up access to all visitors as part of Manfrotto's commitment to providing outstanding after-sales service. Adding value to this service is the extended Warranty offers introduced on most popular products, whereby Manfrotto owners can register their new product on the website to receive an extra three years of warranty coverage above and beyond what is statutory by purchase.

Other sections added to the site include the Careers pages, reflecting the company's growth and investment in its human resources.

The portal is launched in English and Italian. Additional languages will include Spanish, German, French and Chinese, which are already underway and will be released in coming months.
