You have been introduced to some key authors on management theory including Henri Fayol whose work looked at the duties and roles that managers do and Henry Mintzberg who considered the roles of managers as having more variety and pace. Both have a different perspective on management, do think about management from your own experiences and try to consider how much of Fayol's and Mintzberg's theories and principles you see in management behaviour today. Study the work of R.M Kanter on power and politics within an organisational setting.

Start a discussion around the readings of Power and Politics and I ask you to respond to the question "to what extent is hard work and talent in themselves enough to succeed in an organisation today and for the business to be competitive and what role does organisational power and politics have in this?" Please frame and argue your response around at least one of the key theories from the people mentioned above.
