The diagnostic problems in practical
management
The
last 20 years in the domestic economy there has been liberalization of the
business environment, new methods and technologies to its operations, new
channels of communication and connection. The modern model of markets have
begun to include innovative approaches to business management. These
circumstances define the problem of finding highly effective management
strategies and the choice of the target market that determines the diagnosis in
the management of the enterprise as urgent for consideration.
At
a certain stage of development of the company, with the experience of implementing
their strategies in the market have come to the decision of the conquest of new
market niches. The main goal is finding ways of realization of economic
interest on the basis of the strategy and satisfaction of solvent demand of the
consumers. The strategic role of management diagnosis is that it generates the
information necessary for the promotion of the enterprise market. The main
criterion of promotion strategy in market conditions is a diagnostic profile of
the enterprise and the correlation of its parameters with the situation on the
market.
Diagnosis of the condition of the company,
for the purpose of determining the characteristics of the different parties of
its activities involves the collection and analysis of large amounts of diverse
information. Any organization tries to develop along trajectories towards a
certain goal. In reality, however, the planned process of achieving goals is
exposed to various influences of external and internal environment, therefore,
there are deviations of the real trajectory of the development of the company
from previously planned. Moreover, these deviations can be both positive and
negative effects on the activity of the enterprise.
Studies on the use of scenario method can be
found in the works of G. Kahn, who became the founder of the scientific use of
the scenario approach, Lucy D., G. Raffa and other authors.
During the literature study, it was
discovered that there are many methods of diagnosis of management of the
enterprise, but each of them has certain advantages and disadvantages, so the
choice of diagnostic procedures is the novelty of the work in terms of
screenwriting and graphic approach.
Practical significance of the research lies
in the fact that the main conclusions and recommendations contained in the
article can be used by the enterprise to increase efficiency.
Considering the enterprise as part of
managerial diagnostics as an analogy with the human body, you can use terms
such characteristic for the sphere of medicine as "diagnosing",
"symptoms", "disease", etc. Therefore, the diagnosis can be
understood "analysis of symptoms and identification of the cause and
origin of the disease of a living organism"[3, p. 72]. If viewed in a
broader sense, diagnosis is the science of the methods and principles of
disease recognition and diagnosis. Then the "diagnosis – the definition of
substance and characteristics of illness on the basis of the study of the
object. Having ascertained the nature of the origin of the term
"diagnosis" can be considered in relation to the enterprise
management system.
In relation to the concept of
"diagnosis" are used such key words – corporate pathology as
"painful" deviation from the norm, the standard[1, p. 109].
In General, the diagnosis of the enterprise
designed to identify symptoms and recognize the "disease" in the
enterprise management system, the choice of measures possible
"therapy" (symptomatic solution) and "surgery" (radical
solutions) with the aim of improvement of the enterprise. If this symptom is
meant as an external sign of any outward manifestation of ill-being of the
enterprise.
In its nature, diagnosis is an assessment of
the causes and phenomena in a systematic manner, which manifests itself
ineffective or destructive to the functioning of the enterprise. Corporate or
organizational diagnosis always begins with identification of the problem
(critical) areas of weak or narrow parts of the levels, but in General – with
the definition of "disease" in the enterprise management system and
the causes of its occurrence [5, p. 331]. At this stage, applied analysis and
synthesis of the results of testing, experimentation or primary study.
The need for a control system diagnostics the
following reasons:
-
the appearance of certain signs of trouble, as evidence of the different nature
of difficulties, emergencies, failures of the system that need to be overcome
to return the system to normal operation;
-
the need for the recognition of "diseases" (their type, the depth of
the existence and nature of outcomes) and their arrangement with the system
approach, the target priorities in their elimination;
-
difficulties of finding a lever to efforts to specific signs of trouble, in
order to effectively carry out the subsequent improvement of the enterprise;
-
the desire to overcome emerging or potential barrier to development, i.e. the
intention to make changes and to identify the underlying causes.
Diagnosis in the management of, and as more
scientific direction, based on principles. As basic can be called a number of
provisions, which were identified by K. Levin in the monograph "Theory of
the field strength in the social Sciences"[2, p. 87], and Dene compiled on
this basis, the principles of diagnosis of the organizational system.
The first principle. The diagnosis can be
done if, to establish their own reasoning on the findings of the historical
development of phenomena (anamnesis) and also with the use of tests in
diagnosis of the modern state.
The
second principle. The historical interpretation of the phenomena consists of
the verification of specific properties of the object of study, which are
incorporated in it in the past (quality, composition, size, structure, etc.).
The
third principle. Based on the fact that any system if the development is
changed, need to determine the set of parameters of the situation through the
perception of the source of the phenomena and properties, it is necessary to
identify the laws that govern these changes.
The fourth
principle. Diagnosis on the basis of test situations over the time period t
reduces the uncertainty of the conclusions, based on historical data. "The
situation at this time" usually refers not to the current time and to a
specific period of time.
The fifth principle. For the diagnosis of important
duration of the time period of the study. Therefore, in order to give a
diagnosis and to convert it into a statement "about the state of the
system at time interval t" it is necessary to define the time boundaries
for each direction of the study. Reasons that violate the normal functioning of
the enterprise usually originate from the following factors:
- hereditary and situational pathology;
- potential abnormalities or inconsistencies.
The sources
of the problems enterprises are linked in such a way that the emerging one negative
phenomenon may contribute to the occurrence of another, sometimes more
significant for the company. In the result of hereditary or hereditary
pathology identifies contradictions within the enterprise, they in turn cause
the existence of situational problems, etc. Thus, we can formulate the key
categories of diagnostics – its object and concept in the enterprise management
system.
The diagnostics of the enterprise is the
organizational continuity and situational problems, and potential pathology that
cause successive or situational pathology.
The
concept of diagnosis can be formulated as follows: for the system as a living
organism, natural appearance of problems and deviations from the planned
trajectory, the manifestation of negative processes and the various internal
and external correspondences.
Identification,
recognition and assessment of depth and extent of the influence of the problems
on the activity of the enterprise should begin with the study of the system
problem symptoms and the Troubleshooting should be done on the basis of the
development and use of symptomatic or radical management decisions. This
concept may be feasible, if the actions and principles in the diagnostic
process in a systematic manner related, this is achieved through testing and
experimentation in the learning process of the enterprise management system.
Any, even
the most minor deviation is a parameter of removal of the measured phenomena
from the equilibrium state. From the point of view of diagnostics it is
necessary to distinguish abnormal, resulting in positive trends and negative
changes, as well as to take into account balancing the deviations, which
represent a sequence of positive and negative changes, not passing beyond the
limits of the permissible, and in which the system is in stable equilibrium. In
this case, all measurements are given to the testing phase. The test results
obtained during processing of the tests, subject to subsequent diagnostic audit
or analysis.
The purpose of the diagnostic analysis is to
identify the causes of problems, their depth and the probability of its rebirth
in crisis. The task of diagnosis is the identification of the importance,
urgency and the opportunity to potentially solve this problem. As the basis of
the diagnostic audit can act systematization of early or late signs of trouble.
Algorithms to the elimination of the worst
features of the enterprise by symptomatic and radical management solutions can
be built using the following tools:
1)
signs → diagnostic audit → pathology → context →
"hard", well-structured problem → research approach classic
cycle solutions → symptomatic events;
2)
symptoms → audit → pathology → unlimited situation →
soft, ill-structured problem → clinical and research approaches →
cycle STV (system technology intervention) → symptomatic events;
3)
symptoms → audit → pathology → unlimited situation →
"malicious", unstructured problem → clinical, research and
design approaches → cycle OP (organizational development) → radical
activities.
Preparation of information for diagnostic
purposes is performed using the following methods:
-
survey respondents – is carried out in accordance with the plan drawn up by a
written survey, which aims to obtain answers to ordered by a specific list of
questions and statements;
-
interviewing is a method carried out according to a given plan that involves
oral questioning, here the direct contact of the interviewer with the
Respondent under the entry by the interviewer or with the aid of recording
devices;
-
the observation is focused and systematic perception of the studied process or
separate phenomena, characteristics, properties and features, which are of
interest for research. Forms and methods of capturing data can be different, as
a simple diary entries, and records using technical means. The information
obtained by observation, is entirely dependent on the subjectivity and
receptivity processes or phenomena of the observer. With a good combination of
factors, this method is able to generate an extensive information base for
subsequent analysis;
the
experiment is a cognitive action that is performed in relation to objects of
study and in terms of the (artificially created) that facilitate finding,
comparison, quantitative and qualitative measurement of the properties of the
object, related links and relations with other objects. He is an interference
with the usual conditions of functioning of objects or of any phenomena or
reproduction of individual parties or artificially created especially for the
experiment conditions for the purpose of learning without unnecessary
complicating interference and emerging circumstances;
- a content
analysis is such a method, which is quite often used in media studies, he is
the primary method of group text messages. The analysis is based on the
application of a single standard measures, called indicators, to assess the
mass of certain characteristics of the text. The aims of this method correspond
to the scheme: "who – what – who – how - what - with what result"[4,
p. 233].
Thus, the results of the diagnosis are the basis for
the design and implementation of organizational symptomatic events, which can
be regarded as a temporary tool that allows you to respond quickly to the
destruction of only the external manifestations of trouble. To eradicate the
problem, we should take radical measures, i.e. to develop and implement
fundamental decisions affecting fundamental changes in the enterprise.
Diagnosis should be based on experimentation and testing.
