Administrative management is an approach that focuses on principles that can be used by management to coordinate the internal activities of organizations.

For years, managers have considered decision making to be a pure art. It has been considered an art because a variety of individual styles can be used in approaching and successfully solving the same type of managerial problems in actual business practice. These styles are often based on creativity, judgment, intuition, and the experience rather than on the systematic analytical approach.

However, the environment in which management must operate is changing. A man has long since landed on the moon, and technological advancement dictates the pace of our life. Such advances in technology cannot possibly be made without concurrent advances in the systems of management.

Business and its environment are more complex today than ever before, and the trend toward increasing complexity is continuing. So making decisions today is much more complicated than in the past for three reasons. First, the number of alternatives is usually much larger. Second, the consequences of the decisions are more difficult to predict due to increased uncertainty. Finally, the cost of making errors has become larger and larger, mainly due to the size of operations, automation, and a resulting chain - reaction situation in which the impact of an error may be felt on many places due to complex interrelationships.

To illustrate how critical the impact of a single error can be, consider the following example. In the early 80s, the management of Polaroid decided to invest millions of dollars in developing a new camera, SX-70. The justification for the huge investment was the anticipation of large profits from the sale of film for the camera. On July 2, 1985, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged almost 16 points and closed at a low for the year of 790. The major contributor to the fall was the drop in Polaroid, a once highly priced glamour issue that fell ll3/g points, a decline of 32 percent, in a single day! The drop was attributed to an announcement that the sales of SX-70 film were only one third of the company's projections. The plunge reduced the value of Polaroid shares by more than 360 million USD overnight! The impact was so significant that even though Polaroid did not file for the bankruptcy, its earnings declined for several years.

Managers must become more sophisticated - they must learn to utilize new tools and techniques that are being developed in their field. No one can imagine a successful physician using the medicine and equipment of the turn of the century. Yet, in management, one can find executives using management tools of that time.

What is happening to our weather?

Although most of us say we love the hot weather, 1 wonder if we would feel the same if every day was the same with predictable sunshine and heat. Never having lived in a hot country for more than a few weeks I am not sure what my_ opinion would be. Maybe I would miss the rain? There is something about _ freshness that is in the air after a summer rainfall. When I was younger 1 was scared of a thunder and my mum used to tell me it was only God moving his furniture around! To pass the time we counted between_lightning flashes and thunder, the number we got to was supposed to be the number of miles away we were from the storm.

It is shame that today we don't have those heavy snowfalls, these should be part of everyone's childhood! Sledging down the nearest slope until your fingers feel as though they will drop off was all part of fun! These days with the first flurries of snow we are given weather warnings and told not to go out unless our journey is "essential". There is an outcry if schools are closed, but is the journey to school "essential" in such weather conditions? A debatable point! I remember having to struggle through deep snow to get to_school, but as it was only a short distance from home and the teachers all lived locally, that was no problem. Nowadays it is somewhat different. Our seasons seem to have disappeared — or have they merged into each other?
