CHAPTER 12: CORPORATE CULTURE AND LEADERSHIP

Assalamualaikum..

For this chapter we learned about the meaning of corporate culture which is refers to the shared values, attitudes, core beliefs and company traditions that determine norms of behavior, accepted work practiced and style of operating. Every company have a different type of corporate culture.

Suddently, i was thinking about if i'm can be someone who can creates my own culture for my company i could apply this in my company.

"you have to learn to treat people as a resources..you have to ask not what do they cost, but what is the yield, what can they produce?"

quoted : Peter F Drucker

1.I want to create a programme that can always apply in my office  which is "we are a big family". We treated staff as a family. In time, it can help to build a good relation and good surrounding and after all we can work happily.

2.I'm also want to emphasize the islamic value in my office. Because when they have a good islamic spiritual they can work honestly, full responsibility and ikhlas. Actually this value is very hard to find in staff behavior now.

3.I'm also want to reward them with fair as their works.

I think by apply this value, maybe it can help my organization to improve better and create a good working environment with my good staff.

CHAPTER 11: MANAGING INTERNAL OPERATING

Assalamualaikum..

for his entry i would like to share with you some knowledge that i get in my class last tuesday. this chapter is consent about how to allocating the resources, knowing how well strategy faciliting policies and procedure can facilitate good strategy execution. manager need to think what resources (in term of people, funding and etc) will be need and how to distributed it's because the company's various organizational unit. Manager shouldbe deeply involved in reviewing budget proposal it's because they will effect the company in future. The funding requirements of good strategy must drive how capital will be allocate for each operating.

Underfunding organization units and activities to the strategy implement.

Well strategy facility policies and operating procedures facilitated strategy execution in three ways:

• Provide top-down guidance regarding how things need to be done.
• Enforcing consistency in how execution-critical activities are perform.
• Promoting the creation of a work climate conducive to good strategy execution.

A best practise is a method of performing an activity that consistently delivers superior results compared to the other approach. Benchmarking, best practice adoption, business process reengineering, total quality management (TQM) and six sigma program program are important management tools for promoting better strategy execution.

Strategy-supportive motivational practices and reward system are powerful tool for gaining employee commitment focusing their attention on the strategy execution goals. So, here i would like to share the real experience. How my employer rewarded me. The organization that i worked is Uncle Bob friend Chicken Franchise.

As we know franchising is a practice of using another firm's successful business model. For the franchisor, the franchise is an another alternative to building "chain store" to distribute goods to avoids the investment and liability of a chain. The franchisor's success depends on the success of the franchisees. The franchisee have a greater incentive than a direct employee because he or she has a direct stake in the business.Essentially, franchisor is a supplier who allows an operator, or a franchisee to use the supplier trademark and distribute the supplier's goods. In return, the operator pays the supplier a fee.

So, here i want to share same experience been a part time worker at Uncle Bob Friend Chicken. For me reward is a some benefit that our organization give to their worker as an encourage spirit to their worker for being more better in future. My employer rewarded me with a wages and others like breakfast treat, lunch treat and dinner treat for free. While in time he or she (employer) also cover the travel expenses to go to workplace. I'm also asking about if we have injured when we work then the employer will cover the expenses?

he or she said "yes".

To motivate their worker, Uncle Bob Friend Chicken also give their employees some bonuses wages depends on their employees collect sales on that day. For me, the most important thing is, i get a free training direct from my employer and gain a lot experience while working. Hopefully the reward will encourges the employee be more efficient and hardworkings to work in future.
