Comparing Craftsmanship to Modern Management

I already talked about Craftsmanship in my previous blog
http://019akshaychavhanim20nitiepomcourse.blogspot.in/2013/06/the-management-tower.html

In this particular blog I would be comparing Craftsmanship to Modern Management. This would just be a comparison of two management types, I would not be drawing any inference. It would be a simple comparison of two types of managements. Drawing judgement out of this comparison would be dealt in future blogs.


  1. Craftsmanship talks about 1 "Tower" whereas in Modern Management deals with more than 1 "Tower" .(Read above mentioned blog for the concept of Tower)
  2. Craftsmanship involves no parallel working whereas parallel working is key part of Modern management.
  3. Craftsmanship is more about achieving "Specialization", but Modern management helps achieve "Dexterity". Specialization here refers to attaining mastery in a work by doing in again and again. This work may be very small. Whereas, "Dexterity" refers to skills in performing tasks specially by hands. It talks about adroitness and cleverness.
  4. Craftsman achieves satisfaction from his work. Whereas Modern management might bring in some annihilation(not necessarily).
  5. Craftsman show immense skills whereas in modern management workers are deskilled. Deskilled here talks about Disintegration. The job at the work place is disintegrated in such a way that the levels of skills required to carry out a work gets reduced.
  6. Craftsmanship involves tough replacement as its person driven activity.Finding replacement is easy in case of Modern Management as it's process driven.
  7. Delegating work becomes easy in Modern management but the term has negligible meaning in Craftsmanship.
  8. As Craftsmanship is person driven it is less complex compares to process driven Modern Management.





So this are some of the broad points which compare Craftsmanship to Modern Management. I have not inferred anything out of this comparison for now,but would be able to deduce better in future blogs.
