New Management Practices for Obtaining Increased Organizational Performance

To discover the correct path to obtain and maintain an appropriate and challenging level of performance in an organization, we must first point out which are the possible directives available for the choice. Therefore, organizational behaviour needs to be studied, and the creation of a full proof database which includes managerial know-how, best practices, learned lessons, and so forth, to guide the management of the company towards the best path that needs to be followed to achieve organizational objectives. That is exactly what the aim of the paper is, to contour a set of potential alternatives, in terms of management practices, which have the potential to determine an increase in organizational performance. Moreover, it suggests that the road you take is as important as the destination you want to get to, and that by using the invaluable management experience and good practices of others, as well as our own, organizations can finally stop wandering off into the maze of objectives and obtain the performance they desire. However, we do not mean to state, in terms of intended contribution of research, that we have discovered the perfect one-size-fits-all solution, just that by continuously learning we can create our own custom path to success, and that we consider relevant to underline the importance that certain management practices can have in obtaining increased organizational performance.
