TAkINg THe LeAD The world seems to be changing ever faster, with social, technological, economic and

political forces reverberating around the globe every day. Volatility seems to be increasing: just consider the 2011 earthquakes in New Zealand and Japan, and the 2008–10 global financial

crisis, the recent financial difficulties in Greece and Spain and the political and military problems in Syria and Ukraine. Managers need to know what is going on in their industries and economies on

a current and ongoing basis. In Australia, New Zealand and other Asia–Pacific countries, the challenges and opportunities facing managers have never been greater. New technology and globalisation mean that

managers in these countries must not just be competitive with the organisation ‘down the road’ or across the country, but must also recognise that the only realistic standard for comparison of performance in the new

millennium is ‘world’s best’. The announced demise of Australia’s automotive assembly industry (effective 2017) after more than 50 years of operations demonstrates the intensity of global competitive forces. In every industry, competition

is becoming fiercer each month, and there are always winners and losers. Winners grow and prosper, but uncompetitive companies quickly wither away and their shareholders lose their investments, while managers and other staff lose their jobs. Not-for-profit organisations such as government service suppliers, charities and clubs must also excel in their focus and use of resources, since their employees, consumers and suppliers have high expectations of effectiveness and output.

Technological change is accelerating and driving exciting new competitive dynamics in most industries. This includes new process technologies such as manufacturing automation, and in particular the web-based and social networking technologies such as Facebook, Instagram, Google and Twitter that are making information available to people as never before. The Internet has a profound effect on all forms of organisation, business and consumer behaviour. Consider how Amazon and EBay have impacted on consumer shopping habits. New business models and innovative ways to combine products and services are made possible by the Internet, as well as much richer, faster, cheaper and more detailed information exchange between businesses. The cost of close coordination between organisations is lower as a result of these new technologies, leading to new networks of collaboration within supply networks.

Another major trend that will impact on managers and businesses all over the world is the coming of age of the Chinese economy and, behind that, India, Brazil and others. These low-wage countries, which have over half of the world’s people living in them and hence huge internal developing markets, provide both opportunity and threat for all Asia–Pacific-based companies and countries. In addition, political instability, terrorism, disease such as bird flu, climate change and other unanticipated events, coupled with the rise of regional trade blocs and free trade agreements, will impact substantially on the opportunities for companies to export and trade globally. Managers must be capable of planning and leading their organisations under both stable and unstable conditions.

Risk management and crisis management are new processes with which managers must formally engage and become competent. Further, brought on by the collapse of major companies such as Lehman Brothers and many others as part of the global financial crisis, managers must now demonstrate the quality of governance in their systems and decisions, through compliance with strict new procedures, as legislated by governments and required by shareholders.

And through all this, the fundamental management requirements – being highly competent in managing people, processes, customers, products and services; devising and planning strategies; organising resources; and leading and controlling work – have not gone away and never will. Rather, they must now be conducted at higher standards than ever in order to keep customers, employees and shareholders satisfied. A further requirement comes with the challenge of ‘sustainable development’, of being socially and environmentally responsible, while still maximising profits and behaving with high standards of ethics and integrity.

This book gives the reader a realistic perspective of what management is and what managers really do. Management as a profession is dynamic, challenging and exciting for those who want to excel at it. Each day brings new and often unanticipated challenges despite the plans made by even the best managers and leaders. The relatively new challenges of sustainable development are integrated into every chapter of this book.
