The modern business is flooded with many postulates of the classical theory of organization
and management. Slightly modified, they enabled the creation of large empires that rule the world and
with it the tremendous wealth. It turns out that this is not the result of great work, smart decisions and
correct relations with customers, and above all especially high-quality products and services that are
marketed by the lower prices, but often monopolies, speculative, monetary and financial transactions,
and other tricks.
Monographs and memoirs of successful business people show us how they created their empires with
their positive and ethical sides. The idea is to future generations, i.e. business people, learn through
practical examples, how to behave, organize and manage a business. However, what you will not find
anywhere else, or is it rare, those are big mistakes that people from the spheres of business, politics, and
other areas made, and what their outcome was. It turns out that there is no success without failure, i.e.
that they were not infallible in its commission, or not doing. In a number of successful super-managers,
their best decision was the fact they did not enter, i.e. they are timely abandoned some businesses.
Therefore, “No” can often be more important than “Yes”, which has been confirmed many times in the
economy and political history.
However, Bata is a large multinational company that up to these days remained relatively unknown in
the management literature, although it is based on the principles of the host, which means the real economy,
and the natural principles of organization and management. It is paradoxical but true that the
Bata Company is present in over 70 countries worldwide, and has production facilities in 26 countries
worldwide. In its history, Bata has sold more than 14 billion pairs of shoes, which means that almost
every inhabitant of the globe has two pairs of shoes from reputable manufacturer and merchant. As the
largest seller and manufacturer of shoes in the world, Bata entered the Guinness Book. The company
has its own foundation.
The aim of this paper is to throw light on the functioning of the empire and thus break away from the
“veil” of forgetfulness, and to remind us of some forgotten principles of economizing, organization and
management, organizational systems. |
