At the time of onset, the trial was received in France with a great deal of controversy, although some areas hailed him as a kind of theme or paradigm that reflected perfectly the contemporary world, seen as pure evanescence.

The main thesis is defended by the philosopher Lipovetsky Traditional has stayed too long shackled to unrealistic ways and away from the daily reality of their own time, the way the prisoner Platonic reason has departed from the vital interests of a society characterized by mass culture. In opposition to this trend escapist, Lipovetsky intends to return the eyes to the concrete reality, ie the study of massive and ephemeral phenomena typical of the contemporary era.

In his second work, The ephemeral empire. Fashion and its fate in modern societies, published in 1987, Lipovetsky conducted a comprehensive study on fashion, approached from a historical perspective, which sought to explain the influence of changing tastes in fashion sense of tolerance and relativism in values, key factors of this individualism.

The professor has developed a participatory class in which some groups exhibited models and Lola asked questions to other colleagues, for all we participate. Then we will present the two models trabajdos in today:


"The brain and organizations"

Why say that organizations are brain? Because organizations
resemble the organization of the brain as they develop the information we get, the routinized, etc.

-Authors:

Alexander Simon: was known because it gave name to the bounded rationality, the person tries to do the minimum to achieve the maximum. Simon says that the brain has parts each make decisions that later join together ie complexity.
Karl, H. Pribram: think the universe is a hologram and through this I conclude that the brain is also a hologram, as organizations have different levels. Hologram memory and believes that intelligence is not in a particular part of the brain, but is found throughout the brain.


"psychic prisons" Image

prison, relates to the myth of Plato's Cave, is like a self defense system, because it's like we're trapped like in reality and the myth of the cave.

The Organization as a Mechanism



Morgan cites the basic principles of the Address Classical Theory of fields imported from military to make the organization a "military machine", noting that even are in place in organizations today: unity of command, scalar chain, dispersion of control ( span of control), Staff and Line ( Staff and line), initiative, division of labor, authority and responsibility, centralization authority, discipline, subordination of individual interests to general equity, stability of employment of personnel and collective spirit (Morgan, 1986, 16).



A variation on the same line was the famous "Scientific Management" given by Taylor summarized in five principles (in addition to the familiar "Study-of-times-and-activities" as a suitable method to analyze and standardize the activities)



1 .- delegate all responsibility for the organization of work to be performed by the worker to manager.
2 .- Using scientific methods to determine the most efficient way to do the job.
3 .- Select the best person for the job analysis. 4 .- To
worker to do the job efficiently. 5 .- Check
performance. (Morgan, 1986, 19-20).

Within this model it is important to note two authors, such as: Frederick Taylor and Henry Fayol.


Frederick
Taylor

Biography: Frederick Winslow Taylor was a Mechanical Engineer and economist U.S. , promoter scientific management . In 1878 made his first comments on the industry work in the industry of steel . To them followed, a series of analytical studies and compensation runtimes work. Its main points were to determine scientifically standard work, create a mental revolution and a functional working through various concepts that are sensed from his work published in 1903 called Shop Management.


Theory: Before Taylor's proposals, workers were responsible for planning and executing their work. They were assigned to the production and given the "freedom" to do their jobs the way they believed was right. The author describes it this way: "Managers and foremen know best their own knowledge and personal skills are far under the combined knowledge and skills of all men under his command. Therefore, even the most experienced managers let their workers by the problem of selecting the best and most economical way to perform the job. " Hence, its principles, "viewed in historical perspective, represented a breakthrough and a new approach, a tremendous innovation in front of the system." Should be acknowledged here that Taylor represents the dream of a time, such as the United States of the early twentieth century where it was imperative to achieve maximum efficiency, caring environment coupled with an explosion accelerated population in cities, a growing demand for products.

Works:

"Principles of Government"
"Fundamentals of Scientific Management"
"belts" and many more treaties.

contributions to the administration: are the administrative principles, mechanisms of administration, payment by piece, the recruitment and characteristics of human work.

-administrative principles: 1 .-

time and motion study 2 .- Selection workers' Shared Responsibility 3 .- 4 .- Application to the administration.

-administrative mechanisms:

1. Time and motion study 2. Functional supervision 3. Production systems or departments 4. Top of exception 5. Registration cards 6. Using the slide rule 7. Standardization of instruction cards 8. Bonus card statement 9. Study of production route 10.Centralised 11.Costo classification of production output.

-Characteristics of human work:

1) Discover that there is a fully effective. 2) The position performed by the worker, does not always go according to their capabilities. 3) That there are no incentives. 4) That the decisions are made at the highest levels. 5) The administration consists of principles applicable to all companies.

Limitations: Their contributions were very important to the administration, but also had many critics, the American Federation of Labor, considered it a diabolical being, because the work of the people under his system were repetitive and mechanical, the other big criticism was the abuse he received for the term science. But we must also consider that it affects their studies and results in Germany, England, Italy and the United States because studies timed to take their businesses, they achieve high productivity.

Henry Fayol

Biography: theoretical Engineer and business administration. Born into a bourgeois family, Henry Fayol graduated as a civil mining engineer in 1860 and served as engineer in the mines in a major mining and metals group, the Company Fourchambault Commentry.
In 1878, the Paris Congress of Industrial Minera Society, held on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition, Fayol presented a report on the alteration and spontaneous combustion of coal exposed to air. This work was well received and consecrated Fayol as a man of science. In 1888 he had already attained the post of general director of the Commentry Fourchambault. He retired in 1918.
Henry Fayol is best known for his contributions in the field of management thinking. He expounded his ideas in the industrial and general administration work, published in France in 1916. After the contributions made by Taylor in the field of scientific management, Fayol, using a positivist methodology, which consists in observing the facts, conduct experiments and draw rules, developed around an administrative model very rigorous for its time. In another of his works, the state's industrial disability (1921), made a defense of the principles of free enterprise versus government intervention in economic life.

Works:

"Industrial and General Administration"
"Principles of Administration"
"General Theory of State"

Contributions: 1.-universality of Administration: demonstrates that it is a common activity to all organizations: Home, business, government, stating that whenever an organization whatever its type must exist administration.
2.-Functional areas: For Fayol, should be six functional areas within the company:
1) Technical: Responsible for the production 2) Commercial: Responsible for the sale 3) Financial: Responsible use of capital 4) Accounting: Responsible for inventory balances and costs 5) Security: Responsible for protecting company assets and employee 6) Management: Manages adecuadamen5te use of resources. 3 .- Model
administrative process: For Fayol, must exist within certain stages of the company to develop any type of work within them are:
1) Forecast. (Discuss the future) 2) Organization. (Making structure) 3) Address. (Running the plans) 4) Coordination. (Harmonize information) 5) Control. (Check the results)
administrative 4.-Principles: They are fourteen:

1. CONTROL UNIT: A single person must send to all subordinates.
2. AUTHORITY: All companies must have a person who directs.
3. MANAGEMENT UNIT: A program for each activity.
4. Centralization: All activities must be handled by one person. NOTE: Today we find that because this structure is not very functional for business.
5. SOBORDINACIÓN OF PARTICULAR INTEREST THE GENERAL: When to benefit the majority.
6. DISCIPLINE: We must achieve the discipline for the proper functioning of the company.
7. DIVISION OF WORK: You should tell everyone the work to be performed. 8. ORDER: Everything in its place and a place for everything.
9. NEST: You must respect the authority of each hierarchical level.
10. JUST COMPENSATION: Payment fair according to their job.
11. EQUITY: The benefits should be shared, enterprise-workers.
12. STABILITY: The employee must feel secure in their work.
13. INITIATIVE: We must allow the employee to determine such things should be done.
14. Group spirit: Everyone must work together. 5 .- Profile
administrator:
1) physical qualities 2) moral qualities 3) intellectual qualities 4) General Knowledge 5) Specific knowledge 6) Experience
6.-The Importance of Fayol
administration determines that any activity carried out must be based on the administration for what in their administrative studies suggested that should be taken since the primary.

Limitations: Fayol was a leading author of his time, his contributions were recognized long after and all companies working under them, so that you can not conceive of a company without a trial and a division of duties or who does not work under the administrative principles, and so on.

One of its limitations was that used more theory than practice in their work.
FAYOL COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND TAYLOR

Both focus their studies on the same problem but with different views.
-Taylor completed his studies from worker to management level and Fayol's done the opposite.
-Taylor completed his studies based on time and motion and selection of staff, more attention Fayol administrative tasks.
practical
-Taylor, Fayol is theoretical.
-Taylor studies had immediate application of Fayol's slow to recognize.
