Let us see two examples to prove that value-based holistic management is essential and there is no choice:
1. Man machine equation:
In the earlier times man was treated as any machine in the organisation, who could be hired and fired whenever the owners felt. Their feelings and emotions were nil for the organisation. It is due to Behavioral Scientists that this situation has considerably improved. Today there are various concepts like Performance Appraisal, Motivation, Job Satisfaction, Job Rotation, etc which draw a line of difference between a man and a machine. Value-oriented management will recognize the divine model of man. This will surely help in eliminating the man machine equation. Human values for managers will honour the core of humanness and bring about harmony and balance between values as ends. We will evolve a judicious combination between values and skills.
2. Prevention of exploitation of mother nature:
Science and technology brought about phenomenal industrialization at the cost of indiscriminate and ruthless exploitation of Nature. It is wrongly assumed that man is having a birthright to draw on resources supplied by nature at his will. Under the holistic approach man and Nature are deeply interconnected and interdependent. Hence, there is no right to exploit Nature for purely selfish motives.
As one man exploiting another man is bad so is exploiting Mother Nature bad. Many organisations knowingly and unknowingly pollute the environment. Value-based holistic management alone can prevent this exploitation of Mother Nature.
