different strategies by taking factors affecting the social responsibility of a

All of these policies are communicated in the

according to it. it is assured in Toyota that all of the policies and
strategies are communicated well to its workers after that, inspiration and
motivation are provided to them to work according to strategies an announced

decision of selected leadership style depends and duties of employees with
their capability and performance level is the significant factor for progress
of operational management and is dependent on total quality management and six

organization that is available are also factors that are affecting the operational
management of a company.
Affected factors of Leadership and management
concept
There
are various factors that can affect the operational management and decision-making
processes of Toyota. These factors can also alter the way of the accomplishment
of goals and objectives. Negative or positive decisions are taken according to
the changes and all of the decisions are undertaken by managers and leaders.
These factors are discussed as:
Resources of the company of Leadership and management concept
Various
resources are available in an organization that is required to utilize in an
effective way. These resources in Toyota can be equipment and tools for
manufacturing, raw material, and human resources. This is required by an
organization to manage all of the available resources in a proper and mannered
way so the right decision can be accomplished in a better way. Decisions and
operational management of a company are highly affected by the performances,
capability and productivity of employees in the organization.
Financial level of Leadership and management concept
Information
about the financial resources of organization assists leaders and managers to
make effective decisions and strategies and guidelines according to it are
provided in the proper direction. Cash flow and profitability rates in Toyota
affect decision-making process and strategies of evaluation of the requirement
of customers in the organization. There can be a success in the organization
when there is an effective analysis of market trends in a proper way and
profitability rate can be promoted (Hidayat & Akhmad, 2015).
Marketing trends of Leadership and management concept
Trends
of the market get change every day in the targeted market. It is required to
analyze all of the trends in the market and to analyze customer’s requirements
in the organization. Marketing trends in the organization can also bring
success properly to the organization.
Stakeholders of Leadership and management concept
Employees,
customers, investors, and suppliers are included in stakeholders. Investment is
done by investors when they require interest and profits to be earned.
Legal and political changes of Leadership and management concept
Decisions
of an organization by its managers and leaders are also affected by legal changes.
These changes include adaptations in the policies that are imposed on the
organization and are having an impact on planning processes that are made in
the organization. Leader ole is to predict all of the changes in the future and
it is the responsibility of managers to accomplish arrangement and managing the
resources in an effective way with the available resources so planning can be
implemented in a better way (İkinci, 2014).
Technological changes of Leadership and management concept
In
the external environment, changes related to technology are adapted on a daily
basis as it is the era of technology and development. These changes in
technology are to be influenced by Toyota after planning and strategies are
made by managers. Their decision is also based on future risks and impact for
the organization according to which these plans are further processed for an effective
level of development.
Effect of the relationship of leaders and managers
on the business environment and community
It
is the responsibility of managers as well as leaders to accomplish the requirement
of all employees and to fulfill their desires and requirements. The accomplishment
of objectives of the organization of Toyota is also under consideration of managers
and leaders. There are own roles and responsibilities of managers and leaders
in an organization that helps them to assist the business conditions and to
consider decisions in a proper way. All of the future trends are predicted by
managers and all of the resources are under consideration of managers that how
they can use them for the establishment of the company (Ghasabeh, Sayyadi, & Reaiche, 2015). All of the
associated risks that are present in society are predicted by leaders while
managers allocate proper resources to perform the required processes of an
organization.
There
is decentralization in the power of managers to the subordinates so that they
can allocate activities according to assigned tasks and they can utilize their
power of decision making to make specific decisions for a company (Anantatmula & Vittal, 2010). Objectives and set
goals of an organization can be fulfilled effectively by this power and
decision. A path is shown by leaders and employees have to follow that path and
work is done according to instructions provided by managers.
Critical evaluation of operational management
application and factors that are affecting business
Every
good thing is having its negative impacts also. Different applications of
operation management are having negative as well as the positive impact on the
company and its business environment. Cost and quality factors are evaluated
well for effective implementation of strategies and potential achievement of
results by fulfilling the objectives of an organization. The value of an organization
in the market can be created with the assistance of these factors and it can
also lead to the satisfaction of employees (Özer & Tınaztepe, 2014). Low quality and the
high prices of products can make customers unsatisfied and destroy their
loyalty.
In
the accomplishment of goals and objectives, this application is a drawback. This
leads to taking decisions in the organization. Resources also get wasted by
this application and there can be a delay in work by any wrong decision. A wrong
evaluation of the business environment is done by this application.

weaknesses of different models and theories, these are implemented in the
