4.0 DETAILS

OF McKinseys 7S MODEL:

Source: McKinsey 7-S Framework,(p.10) from In search of Excellence: Lessons from Americas Best Run Companies by Thomas J.Peters and Robert H Waterman,Jr.Copyright1982 by Thomas J .Peters and Robert H Waterman, Jr.Reprinted by permission of Harper & Row ,Publishers , Inc.

Perhaps the most important element which triggered the interest of American Managers in the issue of culture was the emergence of Japanese competition. As Japan began to take a leading role in one basic industry after another, the question of cultural differences emerged as a casual factor to explain Japanese superiority. There are those who signal the deterioration of sound cultural values as the central reason behind the slippage of America as a worldwide industrial power. They suggest that Americans have gotten too fat, demanding too much from society without imposing any equivalent internal demands on themselves, and that they seem to have lost a sense of pride and self-satisfaction derived from a job well done. When contrasted with their Japanese counterparts, the gap seems to be enormous and still growing. Somehow, there is a basic erosion of standards of excellence that seems to undermine the basic fabric of American society. This is a message of gloom, and the popular presses, as well as the academic writers, when contrasting American and Japanese management styles have been repeatedly conveying that message in recent years. The most notable exception, which might be the cause of its enormous popularity, has been the book In search of excellence by Peters and Waterman (1982), Where they emphasize the lessons to be derived from Americas best run companies. Paradoxically it is interesting to observe that the best compliment that can be made to an American firm is that it resembles a Japanese company. We will not attempt to summarize Peters and Watermans findings. What is more meaningful in this discussion is to reflect upon the framework they use to evaluate the best managed companies, which has become known as the McKinseys Seven Model . According to that model there are seven basic dimensions which represent the core of managerial activities. There are the Levers which executives use to influence complex and large organizations. Obviously, there was a concerted effort on the part of the originators of the model to coin the managerial variables with words beginning with the letter S so as to increase the communication power of the model. The Seven Ss are:

1. Strategy: A coherent set of actions aimed at gaining a sustainable advantage over competition, improving position vis--vis customers and allocating resources. 2. Structure: The organization chart and accompanying baggage that show who reports to whom and how tasks are both divided and integrated. 3. Systems: The processes and flows that show an organization gets things done from day to day (Information systems ,Capital budgeting systems , Manufacturing processes ,Quality control systems, and Performance Measurement systems all could be good examples). 4. Style: Tangible evidence of what Management considers important by the way it collectively spends time and attention and uses symbolic behavior .If it is not what Management says is important, it is the way management behaves. 5. Staff: The people in an organization. here it is very useful to think not about individual personalities , but about corporate demographics. 6. Skills: A derivative of the rest, Skills are those capabilities that are possessed by an organization as a whole as opposed to the people in it.( The concept of corporate skills as something different from the summation of the people seems difficult for many to grasp; however, some organizations

that hire only the best and the brightest cannot get seemingly simple things done, while others perform extraordinary feats with ordinary people.) 7. Shared Values: The values that go beyond, but might well include, simple goal statements in determining corporate destiny. To fit the concept, these values must be shared by most people in an organization.
