Other Added - Motivating People: Analysing Motivation & Recognizing Needs
Entrepreneurship is generally characterized by some type of innovation, a significant investment, and a strategy that values expansion. The entrepreneur is often quite different in mindset from a manager, who is generally charged with using existing resources to make an existing business run well. The roles of entrepreneur and manager are not necessarily incompatible, but entrepreneurs are seldom patient enough to be good managers.Mindset of an entrepreneurIt is often instructive to analyze the experiences that have formed our attitudes toward entrepreneurship. A recent study showed that 70% of business startups were by a person who had an entrepreneurial parent.The U.S. Small Business Administration has developed a Checklist for Going into Busine

I walked into Ikea for the third time in two days, not to shop but to return a non-matching wood ottoman frame that I had purchased.I thought I was lucky because I got the same clerk who had helped me the evening before.But this time, it was like her evil twin had taken over.“I can’t exchange this item because you opened the plastic enclosure with the screws in it,” she declared unsympathetically.I didn’t understand her logic, especially in light of the fact that Ikea had accepted fully constructed items in exchange for others.Was she just being prickly?Did the fact that she had a break coming up have anything to do with her snap-judgment?Could she have been telling herself, “I helped him once, and he should have STAYED
Several motivation theories work on the assumption that given the chance and the right stimuli, people work well and positively. As a manager, be aware of what these stimuli or “motivational forces” are. Theorist Abraham Maslow grouped them into five areas. The first is physiological needs, and these are followed by further needs, classed as “safety”, “social””, “esteem” and “self-actualisation”. According to Maslow, the needs are tackled in order: as you draw near to satisfying one, the priority of the next one becomes higher. Also, once a need has been satisfied, it is no longer a stimulus.
The Maslow Hierarchy:
Abraham Maslow believed that satisfying just physiological and safety needs is not enough to motivate a person fully. Once these needs have been appeased, there are others waiting to take their place. The Maslow hierarchy can be applied to every aspect of life and the more ambitious and satisfied the personality, the greater the potential contribution to the organisation. Below is an outline of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs – we all start at the bottom of this list and attempt to work our way up.

Acquiring a franchise business system is like dating. You meet a person you thought you like and before you know it you are head over heels in love with him, but you should know who you are dating before committing yourself to the relationship. Do not be swayed by the sweet words you will hear from your franchiser instead it is better if you know everything you need to know about the franchise business because you might end up regretting your decision in the end.Before you take the plunge and agree with the franchiser, you should ask about the level of support that your franchiser is going to give you in terms of training, marketing, advertising, and financial support. Once you have this information, research about the strength of the franchise business syst

Critics conclude that entertaining or “creative” commercials sell better than those that are bland. But liking the commercial may not really be that important in the scheme of things. It all depends on the needs and preferences, motivation and financial reservations of the customer. The question isn't whether people like the advertisement or not, it’s whether the advertisement is effective in selling.Often, people who are irritated by certain campaigns don't fall within the intended target market. In 2000 Budweiser ran its ''Whassup?!'' campaign. Ad Track reported these commercials scored best with 18- to 24-year-olds; 52% of the survey participants said they liked them ''a lot'', while participants 65 years old and over didn't understand them, or didn't wan

DLF is buying land all over Delhi and Noida, Reliance is investing heavily in the Mumbai SEZ. IT companies are buying land in all IT hubs. NRI's have hugely invested in Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Chandgigarh and Gurgaon. Why is everyone talking India when it comes to real estate? Different reasons. Real estate prices have risen globally in the last few years, risen by unprecedented levels. Rising as much as 50-100% in the US, Ireland, UK, Australia. Even Dubai now allows foreign nationals to invest in real estate there. India to is following that trend.

Attending a trade show can seem like Christmas – all those wonderful booths and exhibitors giving away free goodies. Attendees flit from booth to booth and pass on hints of who’s giving away the good loot. In all the hustle, bustle and excitement, it’s easy to be overlooked by the crowd in favor of a flashier, cooler or louder exhibitor. How do you get potential customers to stop by your booth – and stay long enough to become a customer?The answer lies in choosing the right promotional items and gifts and tying them into your overall theme. According to one trade show publication, people attending a trade show are 52% more likely to stop by your exhibit if you have an appealing promotional gift to give them. Keeping that in mind, how should you go about choosin

Meeting the Needs at Work:
The Maslow hierarchy is particularly relevant in the workplace because individuals do not need just money and rewards, but also respect and interaction. When designing jobs, working conditions, and organisational structures, bear in mind the full range of needs in the Maslow hierarchy. Doing this will cost no more, but it will undoubtedly generate higher psychological and economic rewards all round. Individuals acting as part of a group have needs that differ from those of the group. However, it is important for individuals to feel they belong. Find a way to balance the needs of the group with those of individuals. For example, tell staff that if the group meets its major objectives, you may be able to satisfy individual requirements. Do not, of course, promise what you cannot deliver.
Motivation Outside the Workforce:
One of the areas in which individuals tend to satisfy their motivational needs outside work is sports activities. It is interesting to note the effort that people put into such endeavours, for which they are unlikely to gain material reward. Try to motivate your staff to apply as much effort in the workplace as they would in a team sports event by making work as much fun as possible. A shrewd motivational strategy is to e
