Introduction Moneyball is a movie about an Oakland baseball team that is in serious trouble and is losing series in the American League division. The team is also in serious financial trouble. This report looks into the review of the movie through the eyes of management. Management is the reason the A’s are in so much trouble both financially and in terms of performance, which is when Beane comes in. The movie revolves around his life in line with the team since he is the general manager running one of the poorest of teams meaning he cannot solve his team’s financial issues by buying players since the money is not there (Mcneill, 2009). This is very frustrating because he wants the team to perform yet he cannot buy better players. If different results are to be achieved, then things should at least be done differently. Beane knows that he has to do something different but he is not sure what he must do different. He meets young Brand who gives Beane a way forward, sabermetrics, which is a statistical analysis of baseball. This is what the young economist thinks will work for the team. This is because the traditional way of viewing player is not efficient enough leading misjudgment of the value of player. Some are overvalued and other undervalued. The decision that Beane make reflect his life as a professional player, taking us back to his time. All this changes when he adopts the new style of managing the team rather than throwing dice he decides to go with analytics to see if it will help the team win. This is when they set out with Brand to assemble a dream team composing of players that no one wants. This is done with the smallest of budgets. The rest of the workforce does not understand his reason but he tries his best to make them see that n the long run the organization we gain. He meets opposition from those that prefer the old way of doing things. This is a movie of not just baseball but also management. Solution 1 Solution 2 Billy Beane’s leadership styles and motivation styles Starting with Fredrick Taylor’s management theory of improving economic efficiency, this is to ensure minimization of waste and maximization of labor productivity. This management style is all about managing talents. Taylor in his theory puts emphasis on performance measurement and being very objective while examining talent. Talent management is very vital in any business setup. For example, we see that Beane and his assistant Paul did not just guess but they used the statistics, which would ensure that they were in a better position to win. This was applied on the offensive side which was something to do with the on base and the out base. They made sure they positioned themselves to win the game. This gave them an easier job in finding extraordinary players. Autocracy in management can be a double edged sword since the manager makes decisions unilaterally. The subordinates are not give much consideration in the decision making process. This might display the confidence level manager of the business but also can put the company into a lot of trouble since the subordinates can decide to detach themselves. Autocratic decisions may not be very healthy for the business especially if they are emotional which most are. A perfect example is Beane laying off some players because of their behavior
