it is a style of management where power and authority are kept with few key people in the organization, and not delegated to others down the hierarchical chain. its quite similar to autocratic style of management

Permission is not an issue. If you practice the CMM level 3 theory successfully, it is yours. Get to work!!

This may not help you a lot, but it shows these type issues have been around for a looong time.  And the thing about rotating people around as a band-aid to "help" isn't new either lol :)\n\nThis is a GREAT quote ......\n\n"We trained hard, but it seemed that everytime we were beginning to form into teams, we would be reorganized.  I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, ineffieiency and demoralization."\n\nPetronius Arbiter, 210 BC\n\nOBSERVATION.... I have never been directly involved in personnel&#92;staffing or strategic marketing and business focus issues but, as a past internal ISO 9001 program administrator for a multinational corporation, I have observed essentially the same symptomatic patterns as described by the first and third responder.  But... I would add this, some of the same patterns and phenomena can be triggered whether organizational change is needed, or, has recently been implemented.  This somewhat supports the comment from Citizen Arbiter. Go figure.

Learn about project managment. It helps with all of the other parts of IT i.e. Business analysis, process mapping etc. It will also help you move in to management if you so wish. Wish I had learned about it sooner. Good luck.

I have been a manager in both large and small organizations and can tell you they are very different.  Both require you to interact with people, and therefore people skills are required and important.  However, often in smaller organizations the manager needs a broader skillset.  In larger organizations, the managers can often "specialize" and be responible for a small part of the process, still having a large span of control.  For example, at the warehouse where I was a manager, I was responsible for a small part of the process - order picking.  That was it.  Just send people out to pick the orders.  They did not pack them, did not put the stuff on the shelves, just took a CD or book off the shelf and put it in a tote to send to the next department.  But I had 45 employees and more than 100 at christmas time.  That was a large organization.  When I managed a warehouse in a smaller organization, I had only 12 employees, but I was responsible for receiving, stocking, shipping as well as payroll and safety and facilities, along with managing my 12 employeees.  So it can be very different being a manager in a small organization compared to a large one.

You don't say whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, but I will assume you're an undergrad. One of the most difficult tasks in the "real world" of business is finding and retaining good "middle managers." Much has been written on the topic, but no one has emerged with a workable solution. That leaves it wide open for you to offer constructive suggestions, and you have a wide array of reference material. Good luck!
