PASSAGE

It is highly important that managers recognize the nature, significance, and effectiveness of their own models, as well as the models of others around them, four models of organisation behaviour. First model of OB is Autocratic Model "Might is right is the motto of the theory. It depends upon power. Those who are in command must have power to demand. Employees are to follow their boss.
