Let us consider in more detail the principles of management in management. As already noted, they are of two types, general and private.
The principles of management in general management imply a universal nature and extend their influence to almost all sectors of the economy and management in it. The following categories can be considered as such general principles: regularity, focus, stimulation, discipline, competence, hierarchy.
As for private principles, they are usually local in nature and are involved in the regulation of individual management processes in a particular industry or a separate enterprise. These principles are developed by each enterprise or industry independently, in accordance with necessity or established traditions, culture or requirements.
Like any activity, management is also subject to obedience to laws that define various boundaries and limitations. Management principles in management must also obey the laws and restrictions that they impose.
The principles themselves are not rare and determine certain criteria and requirements for managing the organization, they can describe what the head of the enterprise should be, and help create some kind of basis for effective management.
In this case, a single leader is not required to directly and accurately follow the principles of management, ideally, the leader himself must form them, independently based on the main positions of such principles formulated by famous scientists in this field. But often leaders take as a basis some principles and simply adjust them to their needs based on the need and the situation, in addition to the general principles that are the same for everyone with minor changes.
An example of one of the general principles is the principle of competence. And he works for all managers, since an ignorant (incompetent) leader will not be able to effectively manage the enterprise.
Private principles should not inherently contradict general principles. As mentioned above, for particular principles, each organization as an object of management management is considered separately. And it is these principles of management in management that allow to show all the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the leader. As a result, when analyzing particular principles, one can judge the characteristics of management at the enterprise, the entire industry or leader.
The classification of management methods in management often gives rise to the development of particular principles.
Consider such basic principles of management in management as regularity and focus, discipline and stimulation, all of these principles may vary depending on the country (nation). For example, the approaches in Japan to the disciplinary principle are fundamentally different from the views on this principle among other countries. The main difference between this principle is not that the subordinate simply cannot, will not obey the leader, no, the significant difference is that in the Japanese version the leader and subordinate work using methods of voluntary execution, rather than imposing, as in the American management model. Such different approaches indicate that despite the fact that the general principles are the same for all, they can be fulfilled in completely different ways, taking into account the mentality of the people and the cultural and historical traditions that have developed in society. If Japan adheres to the principles of Eastern ideology, then the United States puts above all else the independence of a person as a person, which often gives rise to outbreaks of disobedience in the management environment. Moreover, for the United States this is not considered a bad indicator of an enterprise or organization.
