IDENTIFYING THE FUTURE - Comments over Peter Drucker views (1)

I started to read the book of the most valuable guru of management  in 21. century Peter Drucker where I have been asked to identify the new trends of the field we work as homework.

I took the courage to think about how our food manufacturing company will continue to exist and what will be the management system in the near future.

My son and myself had had many difficuties in managing the small food production company we own. Every single worker , regardless he or she is white or blue collar have his own way of seeing the world , the factory , the business , his or her co-workers and ourselves as the owner of the business. Needless to say this is making very difficult to install a rigid discipline in all senses. Starting from they wear up to obeying the managerial and behaving individually differently.

I have come accross to a very few people who is eager to learn something and to look after on how to contribute to the existing system , on how to improve our existing production. Although we did not put in place a hierarchy in the management system ,old workers behave as having more authority and knowledge -which is not mostly the case- putting pressure on newcomers..

We have two major progress in our field. Mechanization is the first one. Unsophisticated hand work is becoming very expensive and the legislation of labor safety is becoming so impracticable  or if you follow strictly , is becoming so difficult to fulfill than as a manager you start thinking for mechanization every single day. The second major change is that the young workers do not want to work in physically hard jobs such as carrying heavy things , noisy , dusty  and cold environment.

Food legislation is becoming more and more difficult to implement to the manufacturer like us. The view of the legislator is to put restriction to every tiny issue to improve public health care without considering its costs and without making the risk analysis against the benefit .

They have a cruel and pitiless social media network and press… There is no any control , more over penalty and pay off for incorrect , inaccurate news that we are receiving daily basis.Hence , for the legislator put control on it is the safest way to react.

To conclude I can say that there will less available workers in the for difficult jobs which will push us to mechanization more and more. We will be obliged to spend more time and money to follow up the legislation and to implement . Staff working  such fields in the factories will increase either under the name of quality control manager or human resource manager or production manager.

Investment in modern technology will speed up.

We have been always badly affected from illegal competition whom are finding  a way to jump over the legislation. The major duty of our authorities was and must be to prevent their existance.

I have serious  doubts on it.
