The document provides a commentary and critique of an article that proposes three practices ("giving autonomy to workers, explaining work significance, and providing recognition") to improve organizational efficiency. However, the commentary argues that the original article lacks empirical evidence and economic feasibility analysis to support its claims. It also notes that the proposing magazine is associated with companies that could benefit from promoting the practices. In conclusion, while valid suggestions are made, the original article does not sufficiently evidence or analyze the scientific or economic aspects of the proposed management strategies.

Secrets to Organizational Efficiency, or Marketing Positive Behavior?
A Commentary on the Article Three Secrets of Organizational Effectiveness

Secrets to Organizational Efficiency, or Marketing Positive Behavior?
1 Introduction Davis and Newtons article Three Secrets of Organizational Success suggests that three practices of pride building are essential to ensuring positive motivation of employees in the workforce, which ultimately result in a more efficient workplace overall. The three practices are listed as (1) giving more autonomy to frontline workers, (2) clearly explaining to staff members the significance and value of everyday work, and (3) providing better recognition and rewards for employee contributions. The items listed here can be seen as an extension from the proposals of Management 2.0, with the proposed indication that the study of neuroscience and psychology serves as reasonable evidence for the proposed items. With the good intensions of the article aside, it is noted that the article provides no actual empirical evidence for their claims of any sort, nor do they present any numerical figures suggesting the economic feasibility of the proposed practices of micromanagement. Therefore it can be said that, while the article does indeed make a strong point, it simply states an obvious point in virtue without adequate scientific/psychological studies, and economic feasibility. Service& (formerly Booz & Company) and PwC The magazine to which Davis & Newtons article was published in is Strategy&, which is a company that provides services of advice to other business growth and development. Strategy& (formerly Booz & Company) was recently acquired by PwC Corporations, which is a corporation whos primary objectives are to seek business solutions and act as a network for major industries including raw resources and pharmaceuticals. The article published here, by Strategy& serves in conjunction to support their parent companys outcomes, particularly providing examples from the Secrets to Organizational Efficiency, or Marketing Positive Behavior?
2 pharmaceutical department. This does not necessarily represent the entire workforce well, but appears to shift accountability on department/sector managers, instead of the administration of a company. Contributing factors of psychological motivation & a representative sample of the workforce This article studies the behavior of a higher-earning group of individuals in the workforce. There is a problem with this, in which particularly, the contrast of this subject can be seen in a local grocery market. The customer service experienced at the pharmacy counter is notably more constant than what would be observed from a deli counter. The managers all use the same tactics of motivation, at least from the Safeway that I work at. Not only are there more tasks that come from one department than the other, but ultimately, at the end of the day the major overall contrast in these two subjects are that the workers from one department will come home to more financial obligations and concerns than the other. Resultantly, the argument made by Newton and Davis therefore consists of a bias in their case study, which suggests thats effectiveness it is not representative of the entire workforce, as a whole. An academic study of the subject discussed, that is, psychological incentives to positively motivate workers, would assess the impact of all related factors scientifically and economically. The study should present numerical evidence that the suggested theory is both economically feasible for a wider range of the work force (i.e. broader range of workers income), with associated figures related to performance in order to demonstrate the relevance of each associated category (i.e. boosting morale, imitation Secrets to Organizational Efficiency, or Marketing Positive Behavior?
3 neuroscience, the costs of providing employee recognition). Without associated practice and results (in terms of figures), the argument is simply a theory, with little viability. Conclusion The authors Davis & Newton both bring up a perfectly valid suggestion to the practice of management in the workforce incorporating pride building and consideration of imitation neuroscience. While these authors present their arguments effectively, they do not provide any means of evidence of scientific validity, practice design proposals, nor do they assess the economic feasibility associated with the associated claims and suggestions. Readers should also be mindful of the industry to which this articles magazine is associated with, PWC, which includes industries such as pharmaceuticals and research and development in life sciences. With the corporations overall industrial practices, it is not an unreasonable claim to suggest that the non-profit published article serves to promote for further funding and development in the sectors psychological sciences department, whilst upholding the companys mission of providing business strategic advice in management practices and business solutions.
